Enough of this frivolity - I'm switching off the computer now - I've got a good book I want to finish!

Good morning , and what a lovely day it is... Oh. Its afternoon. HOW long did I sleep??
"morbibg"? How much did you have last night? How big were those four glasses?
By the way, that was me trying to be funny, not an instruction.
Golly its a very long time since I read that - don't remember much about it.

Something about Nuclear War isn't it...
Set in Australia. Great book. Bad film.
I remember really liking A Town Called Alice, but don't remember much about the story either.

I got a tree book copy of a town called Alice just before my kindle. So of course I've not read it.
£4.95 on Kindle... might have got it if it was a bit cheaper... and its A Town Like Alice - I got the name wrong.Not even available on the US site or I would have put it on my wish list.
I thought it was 'called' too. Hmmm. Dave says it's a great book and I should read the paperback. Pshaw. Like that's gonna happen.
Isn't there a song called ' A Town Called Malice'? Maybe that is where the confusion lay!
Alice? Alice? Who the **** is Alice?
Thats by the Jam - I can hear it in my head now. Could well be where I got it...
Blurb isn't very helpful with the plot is it? Dave sez the first part is set in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, the second in Alice Springs. Ring a bell?
Patti (Mango Mad) wrote: "Blurb isn't very helpful with the plot is it? Dave sez the first part is set in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, the second in Alice Springs. Ring a bell?"Is it the one about some women who are 'wags' of the army, they get caught by the japanese and go on this really long march to.....somewhere.....sorry thats as much as I remember....
that does ring a bell but not even sure if its that book..
Dave sez that's the one Deeds
Needs a few exploding cyborgs I think.
A Town like Alice, Australian hero and English heroine meet as prisoners of the Japanese, then meet up again later. On The Beach, post apocalyptic novel set in Oz. Very bleak and gave me the heebies when I read it as a young teenager.
Both written by Nevil Shute, underrated nowadays I reckon!
My dad loved him, I read most of them when I lived at home. haven't read much of his since. Wonder what I would think of them now.
Thread creep onto a book. Love it!
Yeah - where's the food!?
Cheesy garlic bread.
I know what the trouble is!!!There's 'A Town Like Alice' and 'Ice Cold In Alice'....it's been confusing me!!!
Ignite wrote: "Alex?"See, STILL confused!!!
Who is Alex? Is he Living next door to Alice?

Careful with those offers Jimanyway. I'm rather hard on curtains....
Yes, we have seen a few pretty destructive 'thread parties' over the last few months. Do you have any rum by the way?

Oh GL, someone's broke out of the dungeon!!!
Ignite wrote: "Thought it was Ice cold in Alex."I think your right Ignite.
Don't worry, I'll get him back in there with a few cracks of the whip.
How much is the group budget for whips, exactly?
Walnut whips or dungeon whhips?
Just in case anyone pokes their head in here, who's downloaded my book. I've sent an error-fixing updated version to Amazon. It's currently publishing, so, within the next few hours an update for Z14 will be available.I somehow managed to make my eBook smaller this time...I checked it out on my phone and it all "seemed" okay, but, if I've accidentally left out chapter 17 or something, let me know! :)
I've just done myself a thread on Amazon's "Meet Our Authors" forum.http://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/meet%20...
Not sure if I got the right vibe going on though. Oh my god, I should delete it. No leave it. No delete it. No l- and so on and so on.
I really piss myself off sometimes.
Not right now though, I'm feeling: Shit-eating grin time.
I'm going to have a look. Don't do anything drastic!
Drastic is my middle name.Actually it's Hubert, but don't tell anyone.
Also: I don't actually have a middle name.
