Well its by choice! He's a bit ... odd.

I believe that's a residency requirement ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Having visited a few times, I think you are right!

If you've been allowed to visit a few times (and come out alive) then you may well meet the criteria yourself ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I never claimed to be normal...

That would look good on a T-Shirt, you should consider it.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Now there's an idea!

[Philip]

Gingerlily - Elephant Philosopher wrote: "Now there's an idea!"

I'm full of them. Well, I'm full of something...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

blood and squishy bits I hope!

[Philip]

Gingerlily - Elephant Philosopher wrote: "blood and squishy bits I hope!"

I've never heard of anyone hoping for blood and squishy bits, except possibly a black pudding manufacturer on hard times.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Will i did just admit to being odd.

Good point, well made.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

My rather 'dark humour' short story has made it into the local paper!

I'll take that as a vote of confidence, GL :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well it was more a snigger, but ok. ;)

[Philip]

I should have said that any 'shares' etc. would be much appreciated. I need to convince the Derby Telegraph of my enormous fan base (now this is the point at which you snigger)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Why yes, it is enormous...

I should be so lucky!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Now I have a Kylie earworm.

Delighted to have a really great 5 star review for :

[Patti (baconater)]

Popped in looking for bacon.

Yay for great review!

...continues the bacon search....

[Philip]

Sorry Patti, I don't carry bacon - there's no call for it ;-)

Really chuffed with the review. If it doesn't upset you, I had a brilliant Full English this morning, with extra black pudding :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oh very nice :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Black pudding, yuck.

Never upset by a Full English.

The Welsh are frequently annoying. Darn the Welsh.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

The Irish are worse.

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, when you moving homing then?

[Patti (baconater)]

Homing. Hehe. Like a pigeon.

[Philip]

There is nothing 'yuck' about black pudding - you just don't have to think about where it came from (like so many things)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Black pudding is yummy! So is haggis :) :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah. Close your eyes and think of bacon.

Mmmmmmmbaconmmmmmm

GL has a new battery. She's being indulgent.

[Jim]

Black pudding and haggis, deep fried, with chips :-)

[Philip]

Sounds good to me :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Hide it! Hide under puddles of ketchup!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Two puddles?

[Philip]

I seem to have developed some odd reading habits!

Retirement seems to have an odd effect on some people...!

Probably has to be http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stalingrad-An... next ;-)

[Philip]

Don't lead me further down the slippery slope, Jim :-)

Tell me about it, GL ;-)

[Philip]

If you have a spare couple of minutes, take a look at this and let me know what you think. I'm considering making this the start of a novel featuring these two characters:

[Jim]

I do like the two characters, I've enjoyed all the stories so far

Thanks Jim :-)

[Kath]

I like the characters and the interplay between them. It keeps changing between Oakshott and Oakwood. Is that deliberate? Am I being thick? (Thick happens, as they say.)

[Philip]

No, that's just me not being sufficiently diligent, Kath. Thanks for your kind comments :-)

[Kath]

I'd like to see where it goes - apart from on a plane!

[Philip]

I just noticed that this thread is up to 1999 posts, which obviously can't be allowed to continue, hence this entirely gratuitous post ;-)

Happy Sunday everyone!
