Jim Webster, (In On a Chance! )
Oh Good grief.You've got me for the afternoon. Dave has to stay near a bog, poor thing.
He shouldn't have had his alpaca burger rare last night.
Stick with the yak for no yuk!
Appropriate, a thread of poets this in.
I read a lovely poem in the bath last night. I'll try and chase it up...Well I haven't found that particular one yet, but another one by the same author..

Yes, and I thought 'MTM has been out again!'
I posted the poem in the nice cup of tea thread.
I'm drinking coca tea at the moment.Tastes vile but really sorts out the altitude headaches.

have to remember that one, what's the proportion of active ingredient? :-)
I really don't know, Jim.I wasn't gonna take any but needs must. I just hope it doesn't remain in the system for long as I may need another medical for work when we get back.
Although a doctor mate has assured me it's fine.

Take a packet label back with you to show them if you need supporting evidence?
Packet?The leaves are just stripped off the plants and left out in bowls in all the hotels.
Coca candy is packaged, though. I bought a packet but they're very sweet.
Just found this on wikiThe leaves of the coca plant contain alkaloids which—when extracted chemically—are the source for cocaine base. However, the amount of coca alkaloid in the raw leaves is small. A cup of coca tea prepared from one gram of coca leaves (the typical contents of a tea bag) contains approximately 4.2 mg of organic coca alkaloid.[1] (In comparison, a line of cocaine contains between 20 and 30 milligrams.[2]) Owing to the presence of these alkaloids, coca tea is a mild stimulant; its consumption may be compared to consumption of coffee or tea.[3] The coca alkaloid content of coca tea is such that the consumption of one cup of coca tea can cause a positive result on a drug test for cocaine,

Ah.Does it say for how long after ingestion?
I'll have a read.
Read that cocaine stays 2-4 days. Coca tea would be less, I expect.No worries, then. Will be weeks before I'd need a medical.
I couldn't see it being a problem to be honest, not in the sort of quantities and timing you get with teaIf you got into the habit of chewing the leaves on the other hand......
;-)
How about this for an author page, books, poems, medical advice
You have your meth-ods....
Better call Saul.

Neither have I. But I've heard loads about it.
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Neither have I. But I've heard loads about it."Great series. I need to watch the fourth season.
It's fabulous! And so is Better Call Saul.
Patti (baconater) wrote: "It's fabulous! And so is Better Call Saul."Now I'm afraid I've never even heard of that one. Checking the wiki I suspect it's because the mates I have who talk about TV probably haven't got into it yet
There's only been one season so far. Took me a few episodes to get into it but it's developed really well.
Right, doubtless they'll mention it to me in due time and I now know enough to nod wisely :-)
Amaze them all by being ahead of the pack with this t-shirt.http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGAL-TROUBLE...
Yes but then they might ask me questions about it

Just read this email posted to a group I'm onI have been distracted during the weekend by rereading all Jim Webster’s 4 fantasy novels, now available in snazzy paperback from Amazon. Apart from constantly evolving plots, colourful characterisation and wit, these are wonderful sources for individual and collective troop training, hand-to-hand combat techniques, army tactics, animal husbandry, field and domestic cookery, cypher breaking, climbing buildings, sleezy lawyers, the women’s high fashion clothing business and clever, attractive and usually respectable determined young ladies, of whom, when faced by two equally pretty examples, a hero rightly in my opinion picks the one who makes good suet pastry and really dark sticky gingerbread. Rather than a single superman hero, there are usually several co-operating, each with different talents and contacts. And now I have to get back to work…
Swords for a Dead Lady
Because you're worth it!
Sounds about right to me :)
They missed out the jelly babies though :(
It's nice when one book leads a reader to the others. :)

I sat and watched how over a holiday weekend one person on Amazon.com bought all five fantasy, one after the other, over about three days.
It might have been five people who all bought one, but I like to think it was one person sucked into the full five.
Now I wish they'll encourage their friends to buy :-)

True, although there is one ginger cake you can get here sometime with chunks of stem ginger in it. 'slovely!
Patti (baconater) wrote: "Read that as slovenly."I suppose it was in context ;-)
I thought I heard jelly babies ... mmm. I like ginger cake too ... it shows :-(
people hang around my books for the catering
Thank god, I thought it was just my thread!
fear not, I'm going to inflict poetry on them soon!
Someone hide the Poetry Appreciation Chair!
