Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Cute :-)

Jim, I hope you don't mind me filling up your thread with elephants. Being a farmer, I figured you could cope with livestock. And the poop!

Jim | 21813 comments I'm used to being sh*t upon from a great height :-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Flying elephants?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments No, its just that Jim is only 6 inches tall.


message 1805: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Ah. That explains it.


message 1806: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments People only buy my books out of sympathy because I'm differently enabled :-(


message 1807: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Pfft.

Page.

You have lovely thread. Now reach up and milk it.


message 1808: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Good grief yes, I'm supposed to be a writer, I'm supposed to be witty and attractive and sell books. Well two out of three isn't bad.
Perhaps you'd like to slip out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I've just read the first 2 chapter of Tsarina. Enjoying it so far.


message 1810: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Oh you say the nicest things :-)

I sat down and read it as a paperback, I've never done that before with one of my own books.
It was strange, I genuinely enjoyed the experience because when I read something electronically, I'm working, I'm editing
When I read paper, I'm relaxing :-)

Good point, there, Jim. There's no ability to change anything, so you can just let go of the temptation.


message 1812: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments It was great, wondering just who this brilliant author was and where could I buy his next book :-)

Seriously though it was a very different experience


message 1813: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Oh that's nice, just had a review of The Flames of the City

There is an epic quality to this book, with the lives of several main characters followed across many years within a rich and detailed setting, while Jim Webster keeps up a good pace throughout. There is also an unusual level of originality to his fantasies, which couples with a firm ground in reality to produce a far more convincing story than is usual in this genre.

Jim | 21813 comments And now I discover that The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting More http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Cartograp... is only 69p

Nothing to do with me, it's just Amazon cutting the price


message 1815: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Post it in the price drop thread as well, pumpkin.


message 1816: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments I saw the bit in capitals which said Special offers is a NO SELF PROMO ZONE and went away before noticing the Author bit :-(


message 1817: by Patti (baconater) (new)

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

We were getting a lot of spamming threads in there and I was wasting hours having to delete them.


message 1818: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Borrow my chainsaw :-)


message 1819: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments You need it!

You'll be thigh deep in brambles in no time.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It'll be like a jungle to Jim!


message 1821: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Someone had their puns on toast for breakfast.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I had ham sandwiches.


message 1823: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Took a photo of my Breakfast :-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments That's brilliant Jim.

Was an interesting article in the paper a few weeks back, comparing the rations from various armies.

I think they'd been donated for auction to raise money for something or other. The Americans couldn't donate any cuz it's against the law for some reason.

How much for Yak, beans and caviar Jim?


message 1826: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Chips, yak n beans.

Yum?


message 1828: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Yak.


message 1830: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I knew there'd be carrots in it.


message 1831: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CGwzvA6iALM...

Mushy peas and chips just waiting for a good rich yak stew to be poured over them :-)


message 1832: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I miss mushy peas. :(

Thats funny... the recipe didn't say anything about carrots...

It's funny, after finding the pictures I ended up fancying mushy peas as well. Given that we were having Spaghetti Bolognaise it wasn't going to happen


message 1835: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments Jim had baked beans for breakfast.


message 1836: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments How do you know?

*Sniff*


message 1837: by M.T. (new)

M.T. McGuire (mtmcguire) | 8051 comments Phnark. It looked more like yak vomit. Well... I suppose, all that mention of carrots.....


message 1838: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Pah, some people don't appreciate good food. You clean up your plates, there's starving children who'd be grateful for that


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments They can have it, with my blessing!!


message 1840: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Shove it in the freezer bag and I'll send some round to collect it. If two bare footed urchins knock on your door, shivering in the cold morning air, you'll know what they're after


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It'll have to be the cold afternoon air. I don't do mornings.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Just finished chapter 4. Still enjoying it.


message 1843: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Jolly good, we'll hold the orphans until you've finished then


message 1844: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments With her lack of food shopping, you're better off sending the orphans to feed her.

you imply a Fagin like existence :-)


message 1846: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments You have the wardrobe for it. ;)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments That was only because I was ill. Im able to go shopping again now.

That's true.
Although my hair is too short and I'm clean shaven,




oh yes and I'm an honest and upright member of the community, I knew there was something else


message 1849: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Honest, definitely.

The scar tissue on your fingers? I'm sure that's from bramble wrangling. Not knuckle dragging. ;)
