Not scary enough if you ask me, there's always some swine ready to hand out a 1 or 2 star review every now and then.
Ahead of their time; if Nigel Farage walked in on that sketch, he wouldn't look out of place.
It's actually quite accurate. Why do you think I was so desperate to get out of Nigeria?It's so much better here.
Although the quality of cleaners is rather quite dismal... ;)
Have you seen the pic of you licking a belly that GL posted on Vanessa's thread?*shudder*
Hey, Mike, meant to tell you about a book I read a while back.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Auschwitz-Doc...
Not cheap on kindle. I think I must have got it when it was free or something.
Anyway, it's very harrowing but really gives an incredible account of what was going on in the camps from the 'medical research' point of view.
I think you'd be interested.
Thanks for the recommendation but I've actually already read it!I agree with you when you say it's harrowing but it's fascinating as well.
Ha! Thought you might have read it.
It's my first blog post for quite some time but here you are!Hulk Hogan reviews a chess piece

Oh and also a quick little boast about Saying Goodbye to Warsaw being shortlisted for the SpaSpa Awards over at Indie Book Bargains.

It's the little details that make these things so good.
Brief update about the fantasy story I'm writing:It's a smidgen over 14k words at the moment and I've still got ideas in the tank for where it's going... though the route that links those ideas together is as hazy as it always is!
It's my first foray into the genre, one that I'm quite enjoying.
And sword fights are effin' brill.
You shouldn't have any problems finding beta readers from the group for it.
Great fun venturing into a different genre, isn't it? Feels like shackles have been cast aside!
It's long way from being ready for beta reading - next year at least! Still got my 'proper' WIP story to be done yet...David - yup and fantasy is quite unique when it comes to world building.
Come on! Can't be quite unique any more than you can be slightly pregnant!
Pffff, I didn't know my GR posts were being beta read as well!
The grammar police are worse than the library police, Mike.Never know when we'll appear.
Avoid commas at all cost MikeIn fact play it safe and avoid all punctuation
Don't be a smart arse Davey.
But it's more… enjoyable. Yes! That's the word, enjoyable.
Oh shit.Do I now have to explain the use of capitals?
I think you're more than aware of the need for proof reading, darling.
That's probably for the best.
Fancy a chilli dog there, Batman?
I'm always up for a spot of dawg, yo.
I'll see if I can sweep some steak for you.Ummmmmm
Nope. ;)
Channel 5 last evening.Hitler's Last Will and Testament.
You see it?
Oh, I get you.Not to worry I've still got Columbia, the USA, and Mexico to cheer on.
I didn't see it, no, but CH5 stuff is usually poo.
It was really good, actually. I think it was a BBC documentary that made it onto channel 5.Shall I look on YouTube for you?
You're cheering the States????I don't think we can be friends if you're gonna cheer soccer.
Not by choice! I bought five tickets for the sweepstake and they were one of the teams.
That's just not good enough.
Right, Bits of Cargill has been given a much-needed update!The content is still the same but it reads much better now after enforcing some comma discipline within its pages. The blurb is also far more bullish than it was before.
The book is just a collection of articles from my website so if anyone fancies grabbing themselves (or their loved ones) a free copy then they can use the following Smashwords code:

Nifty badge, eh?
Well deserved, Mike!It's a great book.
Well done! (: I'm about half way through and can see why it's won!
