@Ken’s’ Deputy have you ever considered compiling a book or have you ? As you are quite descriptive the way you put things and the way it’s laid out and put across says to me you might have some

I think it's about time to face the fact that my game is up. I sleep on a futon. That itself is laid on pallets. Net result is that I'm laying nine inches off the floor. Just for fun; Any of

Did you steal that photo from this month's ,Home and gardens ?

Flattop; A serious question will always elicit a serious and considered response from me, mate. Thanks for yours :hi:

In answer? Yes, I've considered compiling a book. And, no. I never have.

The manner in which I write is absolutely natural and from the hip. I've always abhorred the idea of such things as " Writers Groups ". Nor do I try to mimic any style or what ever. I write as I talk. Just naturally.

Anyway, to expand my answer to your question? Ask yeself: What would I write a book about? I have no outstanding expertise to impart which hasn't been covered by a dozen others.

I have no inspiration to write a novel. Autobiography?! That'd be gripping, wouldn't it? Born. Grew up. Grew old. Fukk Yeah!

(Oh, wait; Is that Hodder and Stoughton on my phone ....? Damn! No. Some kunt asking about my motors extended three year warranty!)

Wrote a few short 'Short Stories', for amusement. Probably the best received thing I've ever written was a thing called " Day Three ". Funny as fukk, actually. My Uncle got to see it. And I'm told he said;

" Good lord! This boy should write a book! "

Quite funny, really. His was already published! :laugh:

 

Now; Where's my coy little fan club? It's so sweet to see their pouty, foamy little mouths flapping as they poke So hard, in impotence, at their little keyboards :D

How old are you? Can't be healthy sleeping next to that mould, you'll be breathing spores in all night!

 After forty odd years of smoking like Grenfel Tower. And most of a life time of absolutely giving Ollie Reed, Richard Harris and Peter O' Toole, combined, a bloody good run for their money? I'm quite satisfied to still be here, mate! :D

Surviving full blown, undiagnosed Weils Disease at the age of fifteen, being professed " A Walking Miracle ", by the specialists might have been a clue. I'm not exactly Millennial material!

Old school, mate.

Great reply I new there was one coming lol, a book of short stories of everyday life would be appropriate keep them coming it’s what makes this place what it is.

I have often thought about my experiences on the railway over the last 20 plus years too many comedy moments and characters but a few stand out a member of my old gang diving into a line side neighbours swimming pool in the dead of winter you could tell it was a big mistake we had to fish him out, another good one from that gang a blow up doll strapped to the back of a pick up truck with its legs opening and shutting with a sign saying f@ck me big boy driving down the road, our ganger went mental ? and another great one I was called to a station about a trespasser as I got on the station a freight train crept by with the driver hanging out crying with laughter saying he’s down there he’s down there we got to the bloke he was completely naked and covered in shit and pissed I said to the Btp over to you boys ? it’s not all been fun but it’s what you make it ?
