I felt a little uneasy.

I think it was brought on by being relatively close to both Mad-chester, and Yorkshireville at the same time.

I left before the cast of The League of Gentlemen started dancing down the streets, clutching their hairy nuts.

:golly:
Ha ha I've only been once too, only recently, to see the nutters. But they came to Accy, when I was at the High School, to dance for us there, have no idea why! Seen them all over the place since then but not on their home turf till recently.

My nutter really is a nutter.

The book will have to go through quite a few security checks, before it gets through to their secured ward.

You have to post really early, like next week, to ensure they get things for Christmas.

They do say once you've gone black, there's no going back.




I don't know where though.

Perhaps it's Ramsbottom?

Don't think this is quite what you had in mind...

Couldn't even fit the cannon of local history on there!

I think I'll move to Texas, become a lesbian, and get heavily into sci-fi.

:D


My only excuse is that I'm one finger typing, with my non-dominant hand, whilst laid on my side on a sofa, in a darkened room.

Ok, I'll get my passport.

Of course, there's a long tradition of making dresses out of tripe in the north west, garinda.

During the war when fabrics were scarce, women would make clothes from tripe
and throughout Lancashire there arose large numbers of tripe dressers (often
back-room businesses) who dressed women in the finest garments made of
tripe.
Probably the first to dress in this way was Lady Ha Ha, wife of the notorious
traitor Lord Ha Ha, who caused a sensation when she wore a magnificent
off the shoulder white dress made from the finest Lancashire tripe at the opening
ceremony of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

Congratulations Derek and also to Bill as well.

I see that Bill happens to own the Tripe marketing boards website here,
TripeMarketingBoard.co.uk - Tripe Marketing Board
As well as promoting it on his blog

Very clever viral marketing campaign.

I tried to coax Lady Gaga into wearing a tripe frock, at the MTV awards the other year.

The mad cow wouldn't, and ended up looking really offal.

You're as daft as me.

I might like your book after all.

According to my own research, Boeing Guy, that Bill Blunt chap has been in the pay of the Tripe Marketing Board for at least 5 years...

Anyway, I imagine that there are plenty of industries out there who would kill to have a supposedly imaginary marketing board that could double sales of their product in a single week!

I just wish they'd spend a fraction of their budget on plugging my book.

Lady Gaga as a poster girl for tripe? That would be fantastic!
