I've been admiring your portrait Nigel. What a talented lady Julie is; a writer and an artist. I can't draw for toffee and get writers' block when faced with a blank screen/sheet of paper. It's not fair. My talents seem to be washing-up and ironing.

Thank you, Kate Mary. Although you say 'writer' I wish I was, as I only think a 'writer' is someone who is published. And none of my work is published, (apart from the illegal one of course), and I don't class myself as an artist, as I'm not professional, just a lovely hobby for me. But I loved reading your comment, and thinking - if only! :D

Julie is one of the vital linchpins of the various forums she shares in...I should know,I've had enough slaps off her to last me several lifetimes!! :D :D :wink:

(probably get a slap for that too!) :D

Thank you Francis and Kate Mary. Being so handsome and photogenic is a cross I've had to bear all of my life. It hasn't been easy to stay monogamous whilst fighting off women (and some men) on a regular basis.

Julie hides her light under a bushel. You don't have to be published to be a writer, anymore that you need to be hung in the National Gallery to be a painter.

I'm glad I'm not a painter, don't fancy the idea of being hung in the national gallery! Oh my neck has suddenly started to hurt.
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Is that the same as being well hung?

It's amazing how a thread changes from a reasonable observation into an anatomical discussion.

Actually, it was you, old thing with this:
I'm wondering why you're always changing your avatar, Paul. And why is it always young girls!

I didn't know we had a thread about stupid tea... I thought it was a thread about very good tea. :mrgreen: (Although Nigel may not agree with that assessment.)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
