Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Just in case anyone wants to talk about it. Our live events are a bit 'different' to say the least. I am looking at a slicker way of doing it but personally I think it is quite funny as it is....

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Thanks Simon !

Who will we see on the night then?

Amos Cassidy | 393 comments I read D.D's one and it was hilarious! I think you should continue as you are.


message 4: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments I'll have a proper look as they're having actual chats in chat rooms in kuforum. I missed Stuart's last month, there's one next week with David Wailing, I'll see if it's any different.

TBH I quite like the fact that you quote the question, it's less confusing to find out who the writer is replying to :), and that it happens here. That said, some people said they didn't like the current format.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Some people are never happy. I'm always happy. Depressing, isn't it? :)

Philip (sarah) Willis | 4630 comments I hope to be there Lorraine.I so enjoy the 'chats'.

Lmao!

Unfortunately I'm going to miss this one on Friday. :( I've really been looking forward to it too!

My bestest friend has booked the golf club for her 40th birthday party and I really must attend.

We're all wearing fancy dress n all!


message 8: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments What you going as - a sane person! ;)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments That wouldn't be very convincing though, would it?


message 10: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments nah. But it needs to be something completely different!


message 11: by Lorraine (last edited May 08, 2012 05:21AM) (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Thanks everyone who's coming. Patti, you make sure you have a really fun night, and we want photos !

Can I ask you if you have any questions that we need to ask on your behalf Patti? It would be much appreciated :)


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments I should be there Lorraine, they are great fun.


message 13: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Thanks Rosemary :)


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh yes, I'll sort my questions and pm you when I have time, Lorraine.

Thanks for telling me to do that! Remind me if I forget, okay?

I've got a purple dancing queen jumpsuit and a blonde Farrah Fawcett wig I'm planning on wearing.

Haven't tried the jumpsuit on yet though.

Another think for the to-do list!

Oh I hope I've got blue glittery eyeshadow!


message 15: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Awww Patti you're going to rock !


message 16: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I haven't participated in any other than reading the day after but I wouldn't like it to be in real time chat.

That can get so crazy and you'd have a hard time as an author keeping up with it.


message 17: by Patti (baconater) (last edited May 08, 2012 11:17AM) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments That's my thinking Elle.

I think it might be a bit manic. But we like manic. Don't we?

I do think the occasional live chat night might be a hoot, though.

Especially if Simon has been down the Pheasant.

Or up the Pheasant. Or sideways the Pheasant.

The Pheasant is rather approachable, isn't it?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It must be a game old bird then!


message 19: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Live chat would be amazing I do agree. Even if it's just about a subject - maybe not so much a Q&A but a discussion :D


message 20: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Ooooooh looking forward to tomorrow night, gonna spend the evening thinking about A LOT of questions !


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments What time is kick off Lorraine?


message 22: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments 7.30 Rosemary :)


message 23: by Ian (new)

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Hi all :)

Just want to say thank you for all the amazing support I've gotten from this group since I joined. It's another world here, isn't it :)

And proper looking forward to the live event tonight. I'll have all three kids buzzing around, so forgive me if it's a bit mad. I'll try and feed them early and clear up before it all starts, mind. Then hopefully things can go pretty smooth.

Please feel free to aak absolutely anything at all.

Apologies for my absence of late. OU story due in. Finished it today. Been a nightmare, but The Drowning of Jeremiah Fishfinger is now complete :)

Bless him.

Have a great day all, and see you tonight :)

Ian

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Hope everyone's got plenty of questions ! Patti, anything you want to ask before you're off to your party?


message 25: by Ian (new)

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Just one question. Could someone come round and stop Charlie from kicking the football at the patio doors please? No . . . okay, I'll just have to ride the storm then . . . ;)


message 26: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments You don't want us all to land on your doorstep Ian.... Becausethe football will be the last of your worries !


message 27: by Ian (new)

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Ah, but surely you could busy yourselves with the washing up and the cleaning of the floors, and perhaps a little coffee one sugar, please . . .

That wasn't a good start, was it.

;)


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Ian, thanks for coming along. It will probably be a bit bonkers but great fun.

Lorraine, thanks again for doing everything.

I will close this thread In ten minutes and open the main one......


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ian, please leave me a bit of the vodka... I didn't realise I was providing the drinks until Simon told me!


message 30: by Ian (new)

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Vodka it is, GL. I'll see if I can keep Stu off it, but I'm not promising anything. Not really his style though, so I think you should be okay :)


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Ok, about to jiggle everything around. Have a good evening :)


message 32: by Ian (new)

Ian Ayris | 473 comments Thanks Simon. Much appreciated, mate :)


message 33: by Sadie (new)

Sadie Forsythe Hello everyone, just slipping in. Vodka, there's vodka?


message 35: by Stuart (new)

Stuart Ayris (stuayris) | 2614 comments Vodka is indeed for girls


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Wow. These people know how to talk. That was a great interview.....

Did you find the crate of cheap red wine I got in for you?


message 38: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments I hope Ian's ok, it seemed to me that while we had lots of posts in the past events, this is one of the ones that got the most questions asked. Ian did really well :)


message 39: by Kath (new)

Kath | 1233 comments it was brilliant Lorraine and Ian done a great job :)

message 43: by Kath (new)

Kath | 1233 comments and thank you for all your hard work :) x


message 44: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments It's not really much now Kath, the setting up of the event is getting into a bit of a pattern really... pfff ... even that I manage to turn into a "routine" -- I'm such a freak !


message 45: by Nicola (new)

Nicola Palmer | 255 comments Another really enjoyable live event, even though I was hiding in the back row. Thank you!


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments If I was twenty years younger I would have been in the back row with you Nicola...

Seriously though, I'm glad you enjoyed it, please hang around and join in some of the other dicussions.


message 47: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Thanks Nicola !

Simon, you know we don't tolerate misbehaving during live events ;)


message 48: by Nicola (new)

Nicola Palmer | 255 comments LOL! I'm 35 this month, and was feeling old! That's cheered me up Simon! I thought misbehaving was required for this group?!


message 49: by [deleted user] (new)

Typical! Missed it. Again. Only just read Simon's message. Despite being in the UK I sometimes wonder if I am living in the right time zone.

Glad to see you all had fun and it was a busy thread.

David
