The link doesn't work Jud.

[Jud]

oops

[Jud]

It's cause I copied the shortened link

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I thought that was it :)

[Kath]

Ooo-er. Don't think I'll be in this one. I know my (outer) limits!

[Mago]

Sorry Ignite: my fault.

[Kath]

It all makes me want to go into 'old lady' mode!

[Patti (baconater)]

Hmmm.

This should be really interesting.

Nice one Mark.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Janet's big dance number???

I only have to use the title? I don't have to listen to the bleddy things? Might have a go then!

It is Jud that does pole dancing

[Patti (baconater)]

Half a dozen provocative squats.

I'd read that!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm stealing the Towels. Shades of Douglas Adams...

[Kath]

Anyone entered yet?

There's a hollow echo in here.

[R.J.]

So I write >300 words about, say, 'Magic Fingers' and stick it as a comment here? Is that how this works?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Pm it to jud RJ

[Kath]

I think it's all about taking part. Mine was rubbish last time but the more people who enter the better the experience for the readers and voters.
I'd hate to see this fold.

[Patti (baconater)]

Wonder where DM has gone, though...

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I didn't listen to the song!

[Kath]

Neither did I. You shouldn't let on which you did James - it's supposed to be a secret vote! Maybe you could remove that reference? I'll pretend I didn't see it!

[James]

Oops. A misunderstanding :)

[Kath]

Same applies to RJ - if there's one about what he said we'll know.
Bossy biddy aren't I?

[Pat ()]

I want to enter. I just can't get started.

[Mago]

Same here!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have my idea, just have to sit down and write it.

[Kath]

I couldn't until yesterday. I read through the list and thought of several I could have a go at but one of them started writing itself. It's probably rubbish though. No discipline. Should have let me be in charge! I took a pad and pen out into the garden and sat in the sun watching the chickens and scribbling.

You should be able to do it Mark - it was your idea!

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I wrote mine last night. First piece of creative writing I have done since leaving school in1984!

[Kath]

1984 - isn't THAT auspicious? You will definitely pull something literary out of the hat with that as your starting point!

PS - aren't you young?!

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Not as young as I was!

[Kath]

I think it was JM Barrie who said, "I'm no longer young enough to know everything." I love that saying. The older I get the more I know what he meant!

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I've not heard that saying before - it is actually very clever, and very true.

I've entered.
Whatever happens this time Ignite you must choose the next one.

[Jud]

I think I have 4 entries so far and am looking for some more. Deadline is tomorrow midnight, please set those keys typing

[Kath]

I chose the second one Mark.

[Jud]

I know I said deadline was tonight but it's not its tomorrow night. I confused myself.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Wednesday night!

[Kath]

I confuse myself often Jud. I think I confuse others even more!

[Jud]

Yes deadline is Wednesday at midnight

[Mago]

When are the entries up, Jud?

[Jud]

Entries are up now
