Jim Webster, (In On a Chance! )
it's years since I've seen even a respectable lady astnished!
G J (Gaff to my friends) wrote: "That's fab news, Jim! Keep 'em rolling in!"Yes, it seems that Tallis and his reminiscences are rather popular amongst bloggers.
He's more in demand than I am, so I'm clinging desperately to his coat tails as he cuts a swathe through high society
And I've just realised why I haven't written much extra in the book. In the last seven days I've written over 6,000 words for Tallis Steelyard!

Well, if you (or Tallis) want to drop anything at www.facebook.com/gjreillybooks please feel free. I don't have a great many followers, but there are a good few who may be interested in hearing from you both!
That's probably her next door neighbour.

I'm perfectly respectable!
'Even' as opposed to 'odd' I assume...
It's getting to something when you tiptoe backwards out of your own author thread lest you get caught in the blast.I've sent for Tallis, he should be along at any moment
Pour wine

Wine is always a good answer

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Written a squid thing for Tallis :-)He's found his voice and damn well won't shut up!
Go on then, give us a look see!
Oh Jim you're such a tease
Don't know why we're so kind to him, really.I think we shouldn't be.
Will he be able to tell the difference??
Don't think we could be other than kind. Extremely sarcastic is kind, innit?
I think Baccus would blush at the amount and variety of wine available through this thread ... Bring on the bard!
Well I sort of promised some of it would out through other people's author threads.And then I thought I'd put some aside so that when I do the 'complete Tallis' (Lord alone knows what I'll call it) there'll be some stuff in that people haven't seen.
I took the liberty of pouring the entire Tallis oeuvre into a word document and discovered to my shock that there is over 31,000 words!
Talks more than Geoff....

Tallis, perhaps. Geoff? Ummmm
I'm sure Geoff has hidden depths, writes poetry and wears a cape when out shopping
And his y-fronts over his trousers.
Patti (baconater) wrote: "And his y-fronts over his trousers."who doesn't nowadays?
Nor me. Glitter g-string.
*shudder* worse than sand, that ... I'd imagine ... :-D
The only g-string I have is on my guitar.
What do you do with the old ones, GL? Bet you could sell 'Used G String' on ebay...
Its probably how he makes a living, Patti. Will's Used G-string Shop.
One on every High Street in Wales. On the weekends, anyway.The drunken tattooed ladies shed them like snake skins.
Means the street cleaners need to wear full hazmat gear.
If they're sensible, yes.
perhaps having A Much Arranged Marriageis a good thing, makes it safer for street cleaners, boosts public order and generally makes the traditional Welsh (and doubtless various other) high streets safer and healthier places?
GL, Jim thinks plugging his book is gonna interrupt our conversation!How very dare he?
maybe we can use it to plug a gap somewhere...
No amount of cork will shut Tallis.
Mind you, when you remove the cork and pour him a glass of a decent wine, he will taste it in reverent silence
And then see what happens when you tell him he's paying!

They happily buy wine and will drink to your continued good health and prosperity all day long.
They don't expect you to buy them wine. (After all could they rely on your good taste with regard to which wine to buy.) They merely expect you to give them money
Ah. Poet = Money Pit
That's the one, it's a comparatively inexpensive way of ensuring a regular supply of verse, compliments and general best wishes.Cheaper than having a birthday every day
In my rapidly extending experience of the breed, most poets would settle for receiving several drinks and a large, spiked weapon to use on their competitors.
