Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments You have to sing or I won't respond though. I like to pretend my life is a musical

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Hey Jud!
What's the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney?

Bing sings, but Walt Disney.

Slopes off quietly. Well... slopes off anyway!

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments AHAHAHA I love that joke.

I wet myself laughing telling it to Hubby, I think he found my amusement at it more amusing than the actual joke itself

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments You need the Scottish accent of course and I know you're not a native. Still, and all, you hear enough of it.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Well she had a pretty good scottish accent on the Skype call!

Ruth (ruthcargill0204) | 39 comments Hi, My name is Ruth. Introduced to the site by Karen (Kew). I don't have a Kindle yet, but have a Kindle app on my laptop. I can see I'll probably need to invest in the real thing. I am also a member of a local writers' circle. I have had a few poems published and am trying my hand at longer works. I have just submitted the 1st 5,000 words of a novel to a competition. I don't hold out much hope, but the incentive of the competition kept me going. I also love good food and good drink. I have just had a long weekend away with my sister who is a brilliant cook and we have devoured smoked salmon and scrambled egg, and venison steak, also Pro Secco and the local Worcestershire cider.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oooh Hi Ruth! I love the sound of that meal, my mouth is watering. And my diet started yesterday... :(

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Hi Ruth - you have definitely landed in the right place!


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Hi, Ruth - don't tell anyone, but I've not got a Kindle either ;)

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Only if you really want to. But tell us so we can watch!

Maybe we need to start a 'dancing naked round a tree' thread!

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Welcome Bookie!

I'm not sure if dancing naked round a tree is a requirement but you've got nice weather for it. ;)

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments Hi Julie, Ruth and Bookie welcome to the group.

Hi Bookie, thank you for pausing.

Unfortunately that was not a two way door you used to get in and you now have no option but to stay. Don't worry too much as assimilation is painless and on the plus side there is always tea and brownies on the go. So pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.

P.S. I can explain why I'm wearing a monkey suit....

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Cheers Bookie and welcome :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments ooooh i hear wine being poured. . . Hi Bookie * smiles winningly*

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Amazing how a drop of the red stuff brings us all in eh?

A brilliant choice and here are the brownies as promised. Now would you mined scooting your chair a little nearer mine? Poor Lori needs some room for her tentacles...I don't know why she always gets the octopus suit.


message 129: by Linda (new)

Linda David (lindzz) I just love the way you guys suddenly switch from crazy to sane, like it's the most natural thing in the world...I love it!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments mmmmm - nice wine that. . . cheers everyone!

The Antennae belong to GL, the webbed feet G. Rob and that wing you just knocked of was Peppermint P's.... what the!?!?!?

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments oh do let Emma show off her cleavage - she'll be sulking all evening otherwise


message 135: by Kate (new)

Kate (littlekate1) | 574 comments Ha ha ha, I'm jumping in to see how the partys going. Grabbed a glass of red and sneaking out again before I get attacked by antennae, webbed feet, tentacles or wandering monkey hands.... [quietly tiptoing past]

Sorry about that Bookie, now where were we???

Ah yes I remember, presumably you like book's? First of all you should be congratulated on becoming a Kindler, many trees have heaved a sigh of relief at your convertion...what sort of genres do you like?

Now, now, stop trying to find the handle and have some more wine....

If you see the mother ship coming back for me would you please point them in the wrong direction???

The internet connection where I come from is ridiculously poor, something to do with the magnetic pull or something....I wasn't really listening when 'the entity' explained it to me!

D.D. Chant (DDChant) | 7663 comments Bookie wrote: "The mothership left yesterday. You missed it. Hurrah!"

Thank goodness for that, I thought they were going to drag me back to that barren rock we call home....wait a minute!!!

What do you mean they left?!?!?!

They went WITHOUT me?!?!?

How could they just leave me here, stranded, the only one of my kind, all alone?!?!?

This is all because my scales are shinier than theirs isn't it? I knew it! Envy is a terrible thing!!!
