Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh NO!!! My lovely thread is infected with BSE!!

I wonder whose fault that might be...

Ah, I see. BTW. I'm reading your books. Like the Lotus sleigh, enjoyed the Gingerlilly joke, just starting Sat Nav of Doom, then I'll be caught up. ;-) Takes me a while to get into them so it's definitely much more fun reading them all back to back.

Hmm... I should probably have put that on your thread... except that Gingerlily's is where the conversation is. Never mind, we're all gumbees.

Cheers

MTM


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Yes, I see. Its my turn to have my thread trashed. There it was, quietly snoozing away and dreaming of nothing much, and Patti rudely yanked it back to life. Poor thing won't recover for weeks...

Jim | 21812 comments Oh, who knocked over the red wine


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Probably Will. Its a good thing I have red carpets.

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments It's recoverable! The wine that is. Pass me that straw.


message 607: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I am relieved that you are enjoying the books, MTM..

Why do you think it takes you a while to get into them, out of curiosity?


message 608: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21812 comments For me it wasn't that they took getting into, it's more that once you starting reading them together they 'build' on each other.
Although inevitably, as with any sort of humour, no book appeals to everybody

I'm not really sure, I think it just takes me a while to get my ear in. But also, like Jim, because the story builds, it's nice to tackle it in big chunks. ;-)

Cheers

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Im all for big chunks. Have just ordered a box with 4 big chunks of fudge.

message 611: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Might even keep you quiet for a bit


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Huh! I was going to give you one for your birthday. Have changed my mind ow.


message 613: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments You might want to revisit that last post before Mary sees it. Or Patti.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh dear. You have a point. I meant give you a chunk of fudge. But those dirty minds will immediately jump to conclusions.


message 615: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I will sit here feeling flattered anyway.


message 617: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I was very nervous about opening that in case it contained a fist...


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I wouldn't do that to you. Not on your birthday at least...


message 619: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments 8 hours to go then.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments until things are back to normal!


message 621: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Er.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Good grief its cold and dirty in here. The elephants have been trampling around and messing everything up. I think a spring clean is due. Anyone got a pitchfork?


message 623: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I'd hire a JCB if I were you.


message 624: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Where exactly has GL hidden her elephants then?

How big is that handbag?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I have an entire park out the back.

And a JCB is a very good idea. Its a bit like the Augean Stables in here.


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments What you need then, is a river. Oh and Heracles.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Funny, I can't seem to find him anywhere. He's probably exhausted after directing all the floods a few weeks ago.

Make a trunk call and reverse the charge.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments My network is Jumbophone.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments And now I'm gonna have to spend the rest of the holiday taking elephant photos.

There's a couple of day trips on offer here to go to elephant reserves where you can ride elephants n such.

I'm not fussed in going, though. We went to a place near Bangkok last time we were here and the way the animals were treated made me cry. I was upset for days. Dave sez he doesn't want to go through that again.

Some of them seem to have wandered over to my thread. But if you're coming over, bring a shovel.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments The whole forum will be infested with elephants at this rate. Oh well, if each author hosts half a dozen it will be a bit more manageable than me trying to squeeze in the full 1000.


message 633: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments In a few months I'll be an honorary elephant but I promise not to trample on anyone or poop in the threads, I'll leave that up to David.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Jud I couldn't imagine you being elephantine! You're such a slip of a thing, you'll still be a slip of a thing with a bulge...


message 635: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments It was only a matter of time.

*Shakes head and walks away, muttering as he goes. Bloody elephants!*

Ok well maybe a small baby elephant then.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Patti did I tell you about my elephant safari experience in Nepal?


message 638: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Don't recall if you did.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It was a bit traumatic and upsetting, so maybe I'll leave it for another time.


message 640: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Only happy elephants in our group.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Exactly! All our elephants get plenty of TLC.


message 642: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I'm going to eat like an elephant over the weekend..


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments What, lots of leaves and bamboo?


message 644: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments And a trunk full of merlot.


message 645: by Gingerlily - The Full Wild (last edited Mar 21, 2014 02:18PM) (new)

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Is that more than a sinful?

That was meant to be skin full.


message 646: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Aren't the two terms interchangeable?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Can elephants be sinful?


message 648: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21812 comments Some skinfuls are bigger than others :-)

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh I saw that video a few weeks ago. Its hilarious, but sadly fake. Although animals definitely do get drunk.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 1752 comments Just have to tell you, I have acquired a new baby orphaned elephant. Jonathan Hill's thread will explain.

I think the crowd of eles that wandered in after you said hello to me on my thread must have come from you. Ahem, cough, splutter - want any back?
