Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Actually, I was thinking that snail jelly babies might cause Jim less aggro in the fields than his sheep do.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I don't know what makes them UKIP - was hoping someone could tell me...

we tried them, now illegal in every country bar North Korea.

I'd have thought with a UKIP jellybaby, if you removed the head the entire packet would dissolve and disappear.....

Is there a black market?


message 3256: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Yes but they're all manufactured in North Korea :-(

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Its one of those 'spot the hidden yak' pictures!


message 3259: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I see no yak…


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Thats because its disguised as a soldier.


message 3261: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments damned cunning these yaks!


message 3262: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Next they will disguise themselves as yaks to avoid attention.

That's what I'd do.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments We spend an inordinate amount of time yakking in this thread.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Well it could be worse. We could be gastropodding!


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments "I spent a few months gastropodding in the Himalaya in my gap year, yah"


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments That sounds awfully convincing Rosemary!


message 3267: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I thought that, too.

Is that what scottish ladies hide under their kilts, I wonder? A himalayan gastropod?


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments An abominable suggestion!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I am now picturing a Yeti riding up and down snowy mountains on the back of a Himalayan Gastropod!


message 3270: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments I am hoping to be able to stop picturing that at some point


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments you need some Merlot.


message 3272: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Hello people
Just got back from a conference.

I thought with the second book I'd drift slightly from the well established yak and gastropod theme and instead just write a cracking adventure story, just to be different.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Best of luck with that Jim :)


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Hey Jim!! *waves*

(may have had a leetle teeny too much coffee today, tbh)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Rosemary, was there anything ... extra ... in the coffee?


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments No, at least I don't think so. Just quantity, and plenty of it :D


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments So you're not feeling that warm alcoholic glow around the ears...


message 3278: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Come and clean my kitchen Nosemanny.


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Finished! Flash...


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Jim, I have a great deal of respect for you after watching the first part of this program!

You wait until you have to clean the maggots out when a sheep's got 'fly strike' :-(

Technically it isn't supposed to start until next week but we've had a couple of early ones

Ummm... I think I'll leave that to you Jim.

(urrrggghhh!!!)

Jim | 21813 comments fortunately this is something not included in War 2.2, when instead we merely have luxury, high living, and a dire warning on the dangers of letting retired librarians play with explosives


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments JIm, your sheep aren't actually sheep!

I'll have to try throwing them fish or leaving them horns to honk


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Can they balance on beachballs?


message 3291: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Chuffed to bits. Just got this email from a chap who'd bought Justice 4.1

You just ruined a day’s work for me. I couldn’t put it down! Please press on with the series – I can’t wait!

My first impression was that it was rather a slim volume, The size would have been normal 30 years back, but 450 pages seems to be the average now. However, I do not feel cheated. The insights into future farming and insurance are breath-taking. I do hope your own insurers don’t get a copy...


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Nice!

How is the lambing going?


message 3293: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments That's great, Jim.

slowly.
A couple a day, which when there's 400 to lamb before end of March means that at some point the rush is going to have to start!

Well I'm well chuffed :-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Looks like a spinach salad I came home to after I left it in the bottom of my fridge before a six week holiday.


message 3298: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21813 comments Brilliant, our next Tsarina marketing move. Forget yak, we're now going for spinach salad!


message 3299: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (Spiderg1rl) (spiderg1rl) | 734 comments The cover looks great, I have the first on my to read list I really should get on it now the second is due out really.


I need to make a list of them all so I don't forget when choosing a new book which one I wanted to potentially read next
