My little crew of 'nostalgedy' books are currently at 35, 40, 41 and 42 in the Kindle Store: Books: Humorous Essays chart...which is nice!
Thats definitely nice. Which one is the front runner?

Not really worth it, is it?
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Not really worth it, is it?"Depends if you're a duck fancier I suppose
That would have to be one fancy duck!

Did anyone tell you that it was going to be an 11 year stretch (at least) with no time off for good behaviour? ;-)
Nothing to do with writing, or my books, for a change! If you haven't seen these guys, you really should do so...http://www.philwhiteland.blogspot.co....

Just me then, eh? ;-)
I used to be but when they killed Nigel I felt they were unnecessarily messing with my emotions. I won't be bullied by anyone, let alone Vanessa Watserface.
My mum loves The Archers. Dum de dum de dum de dum. Dum de dum de dah dah....

Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "My mum loves The Archers. Dum de dum de dum de dum. Dum de dum de dah dah...."Billy Connolly said that it should be the UK national anthem. I think he had a point.
It was stupidly done, too. Nigel Towers must have been about 500 ft high for that scream to have lasted so long!

If you've been listening to the Sunday Omnibus, then you'll understand (recently edited, by the way)http://philwhiteland.blogspot.co.uk/2...
Either an Auditor, thinking of Terry Pratchetts take on them, or go completely in the other director and make him a lion tamer. Which reminds me of a Monty Python sketch!

For sheer originality, this from the excellent Mr. Patrick Barrett takes my fancy: "Oh I'm an art restorer specialising in Jackson Pollock and after a day staring at those things I enjoy being a blank canvas"?Patrick Barrett
Good one!How about, I took some bad acid in 1963 and I haven't stopped with the flasbacks yet.

That explains a lot, GL, that explains a lot ;-)
Hang on! I wasn't born yet in 1963. I meant your character.
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Hang on! I wasn't born yet in 1963. I meant your character."Ha! A likely story!
Its better than the story of the granny and the gold sparkly underpants...
The only thing I could come up with was "I'm the chief fashion buyer for Marks & Spencer" but I thought that was a little waspish ;-)
Careful. A lot of my clothes come from M&S!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Careful. A lot of my clothes come from M&S!"I'm making no further comment
Buzzzzzz buzzzz!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Buzzzzzz buzzzz!"Fair point, well made ;-)
I would have posted a picture of a wasp, but I can't stand the things!
Also isn't the M&S comment a bit dated now, last time I heard they'd actually turned their fashion arm around a bit

Where are all the young cool people shopping these days? (I ask so I can avoid it)
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Where are all the young cool people shopping these days? (I ask so I can avoid it)"As if I would know! I didn't know that even when I was young (and slightly chillier)
