She looks like she has been having many calming beverages...

[Jim]

such is the exciting nature of A Bad Penny that some people do feel the need of a calming beverage

[Jim]

the are people who claim I only post pictures of scantily clad young ladies!

[Patti (baconater)]

Where's the laudanum?

Have these people not noticed the occasional scantily-clad man in your posts as well?

I assume that they're either so high minded they don't notice, or just spend their lives surrounded by them and so are totally blase about them

[Patti (baconater)]

High minded from using laudanum?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Just high.

Just high."

if you don't mind

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

[Jim]

I'll drink to that!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I see Mutt has got himself a job...

[Jim]

a hard working and industrious young fellow!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

And he looks so sweet and innocent there!

[M.T.]

I love Mutt. I'll not have a word spoken against him. ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

How many bottles has he sold you?

[Jim]

I've often wondered just what Mutt becomes when he grows up yet somehow I cannot imagine him being older than about 12

[Elizabeth]

That's okay - it works for most men ; )

Peter Pan is a role model, the one who got it right

Mwahahahargh! And me.

[Jim]

I got a review I forgot to mention for my fantasy work

From the USA no less

[M.T.]

Yay! Go Jim.

[Jim]

I was chuffed :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Makes you sound like an author!

[Jim]

don't know where he got that idea

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Nice one

[Jim]

:-)

[Jim]

Just to say that some of the collected wit and wisdom of Tallis Steelyard is now available for your delectation and delight

Whilst it is a collection of blog posts, some of them were posted elsewhere on other people's blogs and some stuff has been written specially.
Not only that but it's been through an editor who insisted that there ought to be an element of veracity to some of the stories.

But still Tallis Steelyard, shower me with gold and other stories.

Also available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tallis-Steel...

[Will]

Veracity? Pardon me whilst I go and search for a dictionary. It is a term with which I am unfamiliar.

[Jim]

I have been attempting to get truth out of a poet

Apparently it can be done, I have been assured that in an infinite universe everything is possible

[Will]

'Truth is beauty, and therefore beuaty is truth'. Douglas adams.

[Jim]

absolutely, but so far I've not had to give orders for anybody to be executed

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

What kind of tyrant are you? Any good one would do six executions before breakfast!

[Jim]

I'm rather more interested in selling books to the survivors, and rather hope to optimise the number of survivors ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

How pragmatic of you. I fear you aren't cut out to be a tyrant.

[Jim]

The only advantage I can see is that I'd suddenly make the best seller lists by putting my books on the curriculum

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Maybe you can work out a deal with Lord Vetinari.

[Jim]

Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Maybe you can work out a deal with Lord Vetinari."

I suspect that you just take the deal he offers you

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Even Tallis might struggle there...

[Jim]

I'm absolutely certain

[Elizabeth]

However, there is always Mutt versus Vetinari. Although on second thoughts, it may qualify as the world's unholiest alliance!

[Jim]

the irresistible force meets the immovable object :-)

I suspect that Lord Vetinari is far too wise to tackle small boys, he'd most likely apprentice them

[M.T.]

He'd give Mutt to Most Limpwick to mentor.

[Will]

Not Less Limpwick?

[Jim]

not sure who would be mentoring whom :-)

Yep, it would be a close run thing.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Send McMini along as well to really muck things up.

I'm not sure even the Patrician deserves two small boys inflicting upon him :-)
