Jim | 21813 comments Why have you worn the old one out?


message 1252: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments I was talking to a mate of mine a while back. Do you know John Buchan's story John Macnab? Well my mate Peter is an erotic novelist, and he took the idea away and wrote The Girl Thieves


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Have you read Andrew Greig's The Return Of John Mac Nab? Andrew Greig is a cracking writer, this is a bit different from his usual (not erotic though!). His In Another Light is one of the finest novels I have read recently. Or in fact ever...

Jim | 21813 comments You've got the better of me with that one.
I have always liked John Buchan, and I suspect it was as a result of a few beers in a London pub with me that set Peter off in this particular direction :-)

However it is a classic plot and cries out to every writer to take it and rework it in your own style.

Also you've introduced me to Andrew Greig who I'd never heard about. Reading the various reviews and looking at his books sales rank it strikes me that he's on the cusp of being really successful

Jim | 21813 comments Thank you, order is being restored :-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh no it's not


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh yes it is.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'm still shocked at the porn that Jim posted on his Facebook page.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Porn? where?


message 1264: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments For those who've just joined us, it all started on Tsarina https://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSector

Extreme close up! It's amazing the tactics some authors will employ ;~)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Its chicken!

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Surely beastiality is worse!

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Lmfao!!!

Jim | 21813 comments Patti (baconater) wrote: "Lmfao!!!"

I merely offered up a few recipes, I've got to be careful here because if I use the word 'eating' Patti will probably wet herself :-)


message 1271: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Whatcha mean 'probably'?


message 1272: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments I'm trying to build creative tension


message 1273: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I think you need more Lego.


message 1274: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments Even if it was a porn minge there'd be some indications of hair. Note to Jim don't use chicken breasts again. Oh no I've said breasts in front of Patti. Mwah ha ha haaargh


message 1275: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments You try finding photos on the web of gastropod steaks!

Lego! I'm stuck with toilet roll tubes, old washing up bottles and sticky black plastic


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments You need some Meccano!

How much hair are we talking here? 70s or 90s?


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments *feeling a bit queasy*


message 1281: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I may never view snails from the same angle again


message 1282: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Snails?


message 1283: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Snails.


message 1284: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments It's not just snails, snails isn't an issue, it's your 300lb weight (without shell) Gastropod that starts to become a problem, because then you have pieces of meat big enough for the more imaginative to have fits of the vapours over!


message 1285: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments MTM has never struck me as one to have a fit of the vapours


message 1286: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Oh no, her summing up of the controversy was concise to the point of brutality :-)


message 1287: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Brutality?

Whoever have you been free associating with?


message 1288: by Jim (last edited Oct 05, 2013 02:23PM) (new)

Jim | 21813 comments I have a worryingly wide circle of acquaintance

This should be compulsory for a writer :-)


message 1289: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments Are you talking about the porn minge comment or the fact I have a phobia for snails and the idea of seeing a 300lb gastropod, let alone eating it, has me running to the bathroom to unload my... well... it would be supper at this time of night.


message 1290: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I'm still struggling to understand the relevance of snails in this chicken minge porn thread.


message 1291: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments Mwah ha ha haahrgh. Jim put a picture of 'gastropod meat' on facebook but it looked like a chicken breast but Patti thought the way it was positioned made it look like girlie bits. Phnark.

Cheers

MTM


message 1292: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I got the girlie bits, but thought it was chicken. Glad I've never eaten in a gastro pub now :~/ Not keen on the idea of eating snail, even if it does look like girlie bits!


message 1293: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments I agree. It might be the ultimate gardener's revenge but that doesn't make it any less vile.


message 1294: by M.T. (last edited Oct 05, 2013 03:04PM) (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments BTW it IS chicken but Jim is PRETENDING it's snail because the page is all about the Tsarina Sector where his new book takes place... which sounds interesting... but they eat 300lb snail... so I'm not going there.


message 1295: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I had the offer of a free holiday there, but I think I'll pass based on this new information.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments The whole planet must be glistening...


message 1297: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Not with vampires though; not on Jim's watch.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments no! with gastropod slime.


message 1299: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Gastro-pub slime.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Little Chef has 'gastro chips' on the menu. On enquiry, we were told they were fat chips...
