Go the 'pool but you'll need some wheels
'cos Arsenal the champs are on your heels.

With the greatest of respect to the book of prayer

This is especially for Reggo and his little round podge he continues to refer to.

Our lager
Which art in barrels
Hallowed be thy drink.

Thy will be drunk
(I will be drunk)
At home as in the tavern.

Give us this day our foamy head
and forgive us our spillages
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not into incarceration
But deliver us from hangovers.

For thine is the beer
The bitter and the lager
For ever and ever
Barmen.

Not really in the mood for blogging lately. The weather is absolute pants and it has been raining for two days. Come Monday of course when we're all going back to work the sun will break through.
I always feel this is a depressing time of the year. I could probably do with a large dose of vitamin D which we all lacked in England this year.
However on the plus side all my housework and ironing is done.
Another watch this space then.............

Well it's the 1st October and traditionally the heating goes on today in offices etc. Personally I felt the need for it in September. What a year and today has a real autumn bite to it.

Reggo has a bit of a quandery with his book. To go for an opportunity to begin print on demand or not. Always a tricky one that as there could be lots of hits at the site - or maybe not.

It's a funny ole world.
As writers, we sit there tapping out these blockbuster novels and they get trodden on by publishers who will only go for either tried and tested or well known celebs. These celebs are also people who can afford to self publicate their work and get it put on the shelves. Mostly it's their background and rise to fame which they pen. (Or in some cases have "ghost" written). In some cases they even go on to write childrens books which of course also go on the shelf because of the above. "Well fancy her/him writing childrens novels etc as well - WOW how cool is that".
Yeah right and us in the literary world know the answer to that.

Ok that's me off me soap box which is getting a bit tatty these days due to extra usage.

On another note...........Arsenal 4 Porto a big fat zero (made up for the w/ends fiasco) thought I would get that in before anyone else does. LOL
