That sounds like a euphemism, doesn't it!"

Sure does ;-)

Nice one!

Did you notice that Littlejohn in the Daily Mail has now climbed on the 'nostalgedy' bandwagon? Remember where you saw it first ;-)

There's a bit of a drive going on, on FB, for people to vote for their favourite memoirs on this list on Goodreads. IF you've read and enjoyed I really would appreciate your vote. It's currently languishing at #348

Well, if we've elevated a chuckle, my work here is done. You do right to anticipate ;-)

Shared it on Facebook, it amused me :-)

LOL!!!

Hilarious ending to that :)

Thanks for your support, GL. I shall wear it always ;-)

I now have a Queen medley running through my brain!

Great one, Phil!

It has that effect ;-) Thanks Patti.

[Philip]

I'm playing around with expanding these into a book:

http://www.wattpad.com/59863670-a-dub...

Do you think it's got legs?

[Philip]

Well, on the basis of that resounding response, perhaps discretion is the better part of valour and I'll leave it alone ;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Oops.

You should visit the morning thread and tell us you've posted these things, Phil!

I'll look now.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'd say go for it!

[Philip]

Patti (baconater) wrote: "I'd say go for it!"

Thanks Patti. I'll see what I can do :-)

[Philip]

My early years are something of a mystery! One account has me wandering, as an infant, around Paddington railway station, dressed in an oversized duffel coat and wearing a gigantic hat. I had a marmalade sandwich in one hand and a four pack of lager in the other. Around my neck was a label saying 'Please look after his beer'.

Another good idea for a book pre-empted!

Just about everything has been done these days. Even if you think up something that you think is totally ridiculous, its been done. A day in the life of a leaf of lettuce for example. I bet there's a book about that...

“As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic leaf of lettuce.”

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Sentient lettuce... well I never!

Always nice to get a positive review:

Simon, this is Philip's author thread. Why don't you set up one of your own?

[Philip]

Thanks Kath. I nearly got excited there, thinking there was a comment on my thread ;-)

[Philip]

Actually, whilst I'm here, I should let you know that to celebrate (or otherwise) my 60th birthday this Saturday, I'm having a Kindle Countdown Deal weekend for on Saturday and Sunday.

Humph. Would that it were so, GL :-(

[Philip]

Just while I'm on a roll (as opposed to a sandwich) here's this month's Derby Telegraph article:

http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Bygon...

[Philip]

There's one thing about being so far down in the rankings that only trained sniffer dogs can find you - it doesn't take much to make a big difference. For example, in the last week 'Crutches for Ducks' has gone up the Amazon.com rankings by nearly one million places! Today America, tomorrow...

Tomorrow Littleover?

[Philip]

Don't knock it, GL, Littleover is a tough call ;-)
