Week 207 – The Blues, A Hangover Cure And Bedding The Elderly.

gwencron

Well here we are at week 207.

It must be a good seven days since our last posting. (Or a pish seven days for those readers in Scotland.)

I was listening to some Blues when I began to write this and John Lee Hooker came on with ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ and I just thought that this was in the wrong order. The Bourbon would argue with the Whisky and you would end up enjoying neither of these. The song should be ‘One Bourbon, One Beer, One Scotch’ that would be more tasteful.

Week 206 – Returning, Shitty Tinsel And A Lactating Dilema

gwencron

Here we are at Week 206!

Like ‘Gremlins – The Next Batch’ – We’re back.

As in ‘Poltergeist’ – We’re here

And like ‘The Fly’ – If you send us Romance, I’ll ‘Be afraid, very afraid.’

I’ve been watching a few films lately, just to get the days in.

It was good to see the old site creak back into life on Monday.

Here we are at Week 205.

Anyone who has read our previous posts at this time will know that we all write a wee message, so I’ll do the reviews and such-like first.

We had three new writers, one on his second story and me.

The topics included; Limited customers, a surprising film buff, a bridge, a soul-mate and medication.

As always our initial comments follow.

Week 204 – Christmas Pondering, Tattie Soup And Acceptable Leakage.

I’m getting this out the road this week and I’ll try and be nice next week!

I’ve avoided it for a while but the ‘C’ word is coming and not the ‘C’ word that I am comfortable with.

Glam Rock, Docken Leaves And Some Other Barry White.

gwencron

Here we are at week 203. That number seemed so boring that I didn’t even look it up!

I’ve been thinking about animals this week. And no, not in that way! I may be a bit strange but I’m not fucking deranged!

Week 202 – Quitting, Erratic Pishing And Fun With Cannibalism.

gwencron

I was thinking this week about quitting.

As always with me this started out as something positive but it sort of declined. It’s a bit like when an elderly person is ill and you use the old remedy of putting goose fat on their back. You then watch them going downhill quickly. (Thank you Mr Milton Jones for that one!)

Week 201: Graves, Literature and Almost Certainly Some Other Stuff

Nik

Almost sort of exactly 201 years ago, Jane Austen died. I must confess I haven’t read much (any) of her work despite Pride and Prejudice and Zombies being on my reading list for some time. Never being one to allow a lack of knowledge to get in the way of a good opinion however, I’m prepared to wager that her collective works didn’t contain many references to the humble kilogram.

Young Jane would have been almost sort of exactly 18 when the French said pas plus to the grain related measurements of the time and invented the kilogram. She would have been far too busy working on her short novel Lady Susan to bother with such new-fangled frippery. She no doubt noted however that the initial name for this kilogram was a grave and as such the literary seed for her zombie based works was sown.

Here we are at Week 199

Next week will be our four year anniversary but more on that next week.

I wrote some stories this week. Well I wrote two and tidied one that had been lying about for a while and I hadn’t got round to editing it.

Week 198 – Easy Targets, Easier Targets And PC Nonsense That Should Be A Target.

gwencron

Well another terrible week of plane crashes, shootings and Bieber and Kanye still subjecting us to them being them.

None of that gave me any inspiration but there were two other news stories that did. And both of them had a link to my home country and The USA.
