Jim Webster, (In On a Chance! )
Great review, Jim. It made me wish I hadn't downloaded it already, just so that I could download it again!

I'm still surprised that we can't give e-books as a gift through amazon UK, like they can in the US. It would make the whole review copies thing so much easier and a lot more secure for us.
I'm wondering whether Tallis ought to have an author thread of his own, so I'm not constantly having to break off from sensible discussions to cope with his maundering!https://tallissteelyard.wordpress.com...
Looks like the lady could do with a visit from Benor to cheer her up.
John Singer Sargent, interesting, his 'In a Levantine Port' looks a bit like some of our Rosemary's workBut you're right, she does need something.
Syrup of figs for a start :-)
I'll mention her to him ;-)
I see what you mean about the Levantine Port - definitely a bit Rosemary-esque.Maybe Tallis could cheer her up with a verse or two as well. Something to take her mind off the syrup of figs.
Last thing she needs is syrup of figs wearing that outfit.
Firstly very happy to be compared to JSS :)Then a little worried to be threatened with syrup of figs. Then reread the posts properly!

Well when I saw the picture I did a google image search to see who it was by, looked at his other stuff to see if there was anything I could use and saw the levantine one and was immediately reminded of one of your paintings
The syrup of figs is a mere detail
The syrup of figs just sort of slipped out, as you might say?
Always gets back to poop in Jim's thread, doesn't it?I blame David.
I always blame DavidBut here is the truth of the entire tale

Hum. A bald and unconvincing narrative in need of much more detail, in my view.Who, for example, got the task of rubbing down the naked young ladies? And was there a waiting list for the job?
Benor did, of course. With some help from Tallis, I expect.
Feel free to blame me, I'm well used to it by now.I only popped in to read the latest Tallis. Good one :~)

A grim duty, sternly done, without fuss or frivolity
Or so I was informed by the participants.
I merely note the expressions on the faces of the ladies in the painting
Wistful, I thought. With the merest whiff of paranoia.

apropos of nothing have you thought of doing more portrait work? I'm sure Will will be available with a sponge and a bucket of hot water if needed
I would offer to pose, but I think it would take Rubens to face the task of painting me...Not like this, I hasten to add...

Now there's a lady who looks like she's suffering from an application of syrup of figs. Fantastic figure though!
Thats exactly what I thought, Rosemary. :)
and not a hot water bottle in sight notice! They grow tough in the Dublin area obviously!
Although to be fair she could have one under each buttock. If too hot might in fact explain the somewhat pained expression
More likely due to too many 'cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o'.
I assumed she was just trying to disassociate herself from the wallpaper
Thats positively tasteful for Dublin.

And then they have Mutt to bring them down to earth again.

Sounds like they need to be peed on.
Visit Jim's thread for poop, porn and poetry.
Best tag line ever.
Would work as a group motto as well.

When I was 16 I bought myself a green cord jacket. Cost me a fiver. My grandfather saw it, liked it and bought himself one.Turned up at the local auction mart wearing that and a pair of trousers and shirt with no tie and his mates called him a bluidy hippy :-)
And a new Port Naain Intelligencer story is out today!Tomb-yard Follies

Mapping an old family graveyard was a technically complicated job Benor expected would take him some time. But then he hadn’t allowed for getting caught up in a world of intrigue, vengeance, and arbitrary justice...
Your publishing rate is increasing, Jim. Have you got Patterson on board ;-) Good luck with it.
Slim volumes :-)Also I wrote six, got them all edited and ready to run, and now I'm publishing them
Oh and somebody had to do it, making the case for exotic dancershttp://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/201...
I bought it and then I tweeted that I bought it.Cheers

titter ye not. For most of the England (see map at http://adlib.everysite.co.uk/resource... ) farmers have to calculate that and mustn't exceed a certain amount per acre.
Thanks to EU nitrate regulations, because of worries there might be liver damage from nitrate poisoning (in case you worried, they haven't even found any on workers in fertiliser factories! )
