March Live Event - That Was The Night That Was
Oooo. Do we get to wear powdered wigs?
I'll be the jailer and chief torturer.

Wheres the sticky-back plastic and washing up liquid bottles?
And loo roll tubes. Must be loo roll tubes.And glitter.
Look closely between paragraphs two and three.
can't see any - must be the dumb work PC not showing it
did you ask an adult to help you with the cutting ?
Do we all get Blue Peter badges, or Black Darren ones maybe?
That would be problematic as I don't think there are any adults in our group.
There are lots of adults in the group....just not that many responsible ones.You can only see the sticky back plastic if your PC is running Firefox imaginaryimages plugin. It's been available on PCs for about fifteen years and so should be on the Ipad in 2027.
Hope I might manage to be there - I rarely go out and I've been out on each of the other two Live Event nights. Can't miss Our Darren!
Ignite, if you use the right kind of rifle sights you won't miss me.
Suitable??? That badge is perfect!I've just put a few tomatoes in the back of the fridge to ripen nicely for the night.
I have some limp and yellowing stalks of celery
Speaking of limp and yellowing stalks ... (*insert your own joke*)
insert where Darren?
Can't insert. Just bends and flops.I meant the celery, those with filthy minds!
snigger, snigger
Teehee! You guys never fail to make me chuckle!That'll be a fab weekend as I see Ian at his book signing on the 24th! :-)
T-23 and counting, but who's counting? I'm not counting. If anyone's planning to ask any deep and searching questions about the imagery of the underlying metaphors then please submit it in advance because I can only do deep and searching with at least a week's notice.
Are there any underlying metaphors?
Naw. All Darren's metaphors are erect and upstanding.
Apart from the celery.
Yes. Apart from the celery.

Not a lot, just a little.
Patti has a hangover. Be gentle with her.
Ouch - that made my headache worse!
Should I stop hammering nails into the wall to hang up some pictures?
A hangover is a self-induced condition and as such deserves no sympathy (not least because I don't get invited to places where I could induce such a condition on myself)
I am trying to imagine you looking after your two darlings with a hangover....
I'd invite you out Darren if you were closer to Aberdeen...
We're another day closer to the live event and I've decided that the route out with the best chance of success is a tunnel. I've got a vaulting horse out in the kitchen with POWs jumping over it and I've managed to dig as far as the inner barbed wire cordon. Just don't tell the guards.
Why can I hear "The Great Escape" theme tune...?
:0)

I read that as 'inner barbed wire condom'

Double ouch
Sorry Darren. I winced on your behalf.
Hello everyone. As the live event is rushing in towards me with the intent of tomahawk cruise missile, I have just signed up for the Smashwords Read and Ebook Week promotion which means that some titles will be available for half price (using a smashwords voucher). It starts tomorrow (that's Sunday March 4th) for 7 days.
If anyone has any questions we could prepare in advance, please can you email them to me? This will help us organise the event and maybe go a bit deeper into some themes if we have the time. Thanks a bunch ! x
Love Darren's poem on the other thread. Will try to think of some questions for you!!!!
He came up with it in record time ! Was very impressed !
That poem is just wonderful! Like Darren himself...
