suggestive twiddlewittery? Thar she blows? Bloody hell! Is this some kind of mating ritual missi? And a.g, shame on you! ~:

Whaaaat. What'd I do now? Surely some surly somesuch should now create a 'Foxy and RIG Flirting Thread'? I thought flirting was illegal. But apparently, it's just when I do it. (But really, I'm not bitter....really....) *wink*

You just do it so well a.g. makes the natives restless I think. ~:

I do like the word, 'twiddlewittery'. I just invented it. God bless the organic qualities of the English language.

It was a reply to my earlier post about the absence of arrows.

I couldn't bear to disappoint you, Missi. I -had- to throw in my thruppence-worth.

Its very quiet in the city. apparently it will be nice weather aqll this week. I'm going to try and persuade someone to take me out to the countryside reptile spotting at the w/e!

Jude, you should try my part of the world if you want to see reptiles; they all come spilling out of the pubs at closing time here.

I can't believe you're throwing your threepenny bits in when it's normally just your razor sharp wit.

*listless wave*

I've just come in from the garden. It's very hot. I've been reading '10 Sorry Tales' by Mick Jackson. They're great.

'threepenny bits ' Aah, the cultural divide. Nice work George.

i am trying to summon the energy to rewrite three chapters of my novel so i can enter it into the kitchen table muppets contest ... if it wasnt so hot ... you would be an inspiration drew ...

I aim to please. Sorry I'm such a bad shot most of the time.

Its a boiling 92 degrees here in Boston...Luckily I am at work soaking up the companies a/c...I'd share Foxy but its a very secure building and I don't think I could smuggle you in under my desk..plus that whole ocean thing LOL

Not at all.

ooh I love the reptiles!!!

ah, i am no inspiration today. for the last three weeks i haven't had much concentration, not since i sent my rewrites to the agent. They are letting me know the outcome they said within four to six weeks. And also mid-July is when the editor is finishing with Darts so I'll have more rewriting to do there. But I do want to get on with Hotel Kong. fish, I think the childrens comp is all well and good. Taylor's comments were naff, obviously it isn't the only way to get published, but it is a way and he was just trying to promote it. Good luck with it. As far as I can see it's just a question of trying every avenue until the collective world is so fed up with you they have no choice but to publish you.

If fishcakes were to win...my faith in such competitions would be restored!

Gosh Rhodie, now I'm not only hot but bothered too... *tries very hard to get mind out of the gutter*

Just returned from Book shop. Bought 51 secondhand books on Antiquarian book selling and collecting in general. Need cup of tea.

51 books on bookselling? Are you going into business?

i am wondering why i am resentful of bert whenever he is idle when in fact i am the most lazy ridiculously idle person on the earth ... any ideas?

Well not going in to business as such, Drew. I have over 4000 books, so need to sell some before I can buy moor. Sell some to get some you could say. The 51 I bought to day, cover books, stamps, cards etc. Not just books.

Ok Rhodie, I'll try to behave myself... but are you sure you can't fit me in under there? *Whoops! hello gutter*

LOL... Very good! Quotes from Godfather III no less. My favourite quote from the glittering world of the silver screen is: "Why I oughta..." Any idea where it comes from? *sits back in chair and rubs hands together in a self satisfied manner*

"frankly my dear I don't give a damn" sits back in chair and laughs ass off!!!

because curiosity killed the cat and I'm such a nice girl wouldnt want to be known as the rude american from Rhode Island putting on very nice girl voice... Dearest Mr.Foxy do tell where that quote came from snicker LOLOLOL

Wot! no archery today? Must have run out of arrows.

I knew you couldn't really be such a party pooper Rhodie, and since you asked so nicely I'll tell you... just choose any Three Stooges short it's almost guaranteed to be in there somewhere.

Three Stooges? I give you classics and you give me the Three Stooges surely Cagney said it once if not a hundred times... I almost feel cheated like the girl who puts out on the first date ends up thing "Is that all!" Leans over Foxy and says "now whats my name?" LOLOLOLOL

*Gulp!*

I thinkit sits alongside "wise guy eh?" as apt for any random moment in any black and white American film and, as in any film set in New York... "I'm walking here!" (name the original it comes from) as for today, well I've just drawn up some floor plans for a friend, sold two sinks and some underlay and read a few chapters, all from the incrfedibly comfortable position of lying in my hammock with a tall OC at my side. Ahhhhh, lovely!

ok, now I'm over the initial fright you gave me, I've got say I quite like it when you get all dominant like that Miss Rhodie...

and.. TO MAKE THE DAY PERFECT, I've moved indoors and am about to tuck into sausage egg and chips, couple of slices of fresh cut white and butter; a dollop of kezzie and a mug of tea then settle down for the evening. ahhh

Ely- I'm walking here is Dustin Hoffman and Midnight Cowboy if I am correct Foxy- ***shaking head yet once again*** You are begging for a spanking Oh you are quite the cheeky bugger aren't you (I picked that up from BBCAmerica LOL) Well I can be cheeky too.

Here I was thinking I would have to practise a little more self discipline, because the lady I usually go to has put her prices up... *ducks down and takes cover*

LOL@ Foxy You got me on that one...I had to laugh and I'm afraid it is time for me to go home so I cannot offer you a snappy comeback... But if you care to meet me tomorrow same bat channel, same bat time I'll he here whip in hand!

You got it Rhodie. It helps if you slap the bonnet (hood) of the taxi that just had to slam the brakes on to avoid killing you and limp off complaining like it was his fault. hand gestures come as standard, of course.

I sense abc's first transatlantic baby ... Oh, no. That was Carly, wasn't it?

Sheesh. And I used to get complaints for suggestive twiddlewittery...

Thar she blows!
