Annoying repeated friend requests

Sucker!
Does the title imply that there are repeated friend requests that are not annoying?

How could a gentleman not accept?
Even I did

Jim, we have no books in common. Nothing, zip, nada! What kind of friend are you? Talk about annoying...

Well I never put the books up I'm reading because I'm idle.
Looking down your list I can match the bible, I've read all the pratchett, the first adrian mole, and I always thought the main purpose of having kids was it meant you can take them to watch Disney films at the flicks ;-)
Don't say that Jim! My kids are going to want their money back!
I seem to find it hard to smile when a camera's pointed at me, so I went for the mysterious author look - though it could possibly be interpreted as a brooding dark lord looking out over his dominion...sure...
When I smile I look 'gone home'. There's a picture of me somewhere aged 2 with that same gormless beam!

Wayhey! That's better :o)

My youngest has promised to go to see the Hobbit with me (She is 24 and can probably book it down to caring for elderly relative :-)

Becoming a dark lord must do more for book sales than spamming Amazon :-)

Quite apart from it being spam, if I read "Quick as a flash" in a sample I would stop reading immediately.Trouble is, when you've just published you really don't know what you're doing and the temptation is to copy the loudest, thinking that's the way to do it, instead of sitting back and watching for a while.

You are right. I was lucky (and am naturally shy and retiring anyway)
However the bitter truth is that even persons with my obvious genius and irreproachable humility struggle to get respectable sales.How lesser mortals must be struggling
Shy and what?Oh good grief

shoot 'em all down with a flash of my pretty smile
It's the boyish charm that gets to them in the end
And the offer to show them your tractor.
I used to collect tractors, but now I'm an extractor fan.
So you just blow out hot air?

you've obviously been up far too long. Time for bed young lady :-))
I'd say shes snoring by now.

I kept falling asleep in the car then waking myself up snoring. Then Dave would laugh at me. That drive from the airport seems to get longer every time we do it. :(

I hope Dave was driving! ;)
Oh yes. I don't drive. My driving frightens me.Last time I drove was in the middle of the Serengeti.
I almost ran into the only other vehicle within a hundred miles of us.
I do make a charming passenger though. :)

Well when she's awake anyway.
I'm sure she snores in a charming way, too! :D
Clive Worth, no I do not want to be your friend. *shudder*
Patti (Festive Figgy Pudding) wrote: "Clive Worth, no I do not want to be your friend. *shudder*"A Goodreads author as well apparently. In his own words "I am Welsh not English and from Wales UK, (Cymru) and speak Welsh all the time."
So that's a relief anyway :-)
Who is he, and what is he worth?
And he's written books I'm so completely interested in.Not.

Oh my god, Jim!I had no idea about that!
Not someone to friend then...
Oh criminy.Seems Ignite is his friend.

I suspect Ignite is grown up enough to take care of herself.
Yeah, she's rather formidable, isn't she? ;)
Right, now I'm not! I can cure peeping Toms - maybe I can cure sex pests too!
Just after we moved into our first flat, we found the next door neighbour was a flasher. We solved the problem quite effectively, by taking the flash gun off the camera and firing it whilst he was "entertaining".Strangely enough, he lost all interest after that. I wanted to walk past him in the street and say "Good morning, Tiny" but Linda wouldn't let me.
Early in our married life we lived in a flat above a very old lady with very poor eyesight - she couldn't see what money she had in her hand when you ran an errand for her. She used to knock on our ceiling in the night because there was a man looking in her window. I think it was the shape of the lamppost base she was seeing. Mr Ignite used to go out and 'check around' for her but said to me one winter night that it was so cold he wouldn't look in the window of the nurses' home, let alone an old dear!
hang on...i blocked DARRYL SHELLY after his last 3 attempts to be my friend
but obviously this doesn't work cos he still wants to be my friend ffs
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
