UK Amazon Kindle Forum discussion

I think we need an after-dark thread for those late-night conversations. It should be appropriately decorated.

All ready for any late night mellow moody chats.

Oooo! Love the glowing blue tent thingy. Unfortunately I'm just of to bed. Goodnight!

Artex walls!!! no thanks :)

Well, I'm here all night until my shift ends at 6am...

Would it be okay if I just sit at the bar drinking but not really engaging with anyone?

I can change the walls if you want Joo, or you can suggest something you prefer...

Just don't disturb Jamie while he drinks and broods.

We need some moody background music. Anyone have a suggestion for some mellow late night jazz or something?

I'll just sidestep the opportunity to make reference to my jazz themed novel and suggest a bit of bill evans.

By the way, since we've set the mood. I've just learned that the legendary agent Carole Blake is showing an interest in Goodreads. She has really interesting twitter and FB feeds and has rejected my novels repeatedly. If she shows up here I'll buy her a drink and ask her to rethink.

Good idea. Anything could happen here...

Literary agents here? There goes the neighborhood.

Never submitted my stuff to an agent of any sort, knowing my luck any agent that turns up here is more likely to be a repo man

This is what this thread needs

Elephant jigsaw puzzles? As it seems to be full of dark and brooding tortured souls lined up at the bar and staring into the distance, I'm not sure if jigsaw puzzles will go down that well....

I think I was a bit optimistic looking for cosy chats here...

I found this for you, GL http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/ima... then realised it said 'chats'.

Ok, ok, I'll turn the heating up!

I should think so; the sun may be shining, but there's a cool breeze blowing. Put a drop of brandy in that hot chocolate and I will return tonight. :~)

You don't want to get too dark and brooding or you might get some of those pesky vampires showing up.

and they'd just sparkle and totally ruin the atmosphere

Only in daylight, apparently.

I sparkle all the time!

Oh wait, that's the glitter Patti threw at me

I'm not at my sparkling best at the moment. I'll come back later when I'm dark and mysterious.

I do like the music by the way - exactly the ambience I was aiming at. But if anyone wants to suggest something else do feel free. Nothing too upbeat and shiny though.

In keeping with my new Romantic persona I've decided to cover up the glitter with a black all in one suit with loads of pockets, and bulk order some boxes of Milk Tray.

Will you should be here - im in Starbucks and it has been non-stop blues for the last 40 minutes!

Envious.

But it's non stop blues here too. I'm playing Miles Davis whilst formatting text for Smashwords

Ah, you've got the Smashwords not acceptable for premium blues!

the mossie coil is lit. the pool is gently burbling. the beer is cold. I've demanded Dave use his ear buds.
complete peace...

Sounds lovely Patti.

Sounds like the first line of a song, only it don't rhyme.

Its probably free jazz then...

I've got the smashwords 'the file is too big' (it isn't) blues.

It all goes under the heading of 'Computer Blues'. Or 'Computers are not even remotely user friendly, at least not for humans, Blues'.

You think it's bad now, wait 'til SkyNet becomes sentient.

Google already IS sentient, I fear

It'll be soylent green for us all soon...

Know any good recipes for that?

Oh look you can make your own

Oh yum.

Would probably be better with some rum added. Or any type of alcohol actually

Can't we just have normal bar snacks? With alcohol, of course.

I've just got a delivery of olives, and a few barrels of salted peanuts are on the way.

Could we have crisps too? When I've had ale and it gets late I like nice crisps. I'm happy to share, I'm ever so generous in the small hours.

Soylent crisps are...potatoes!

Soylent tapas, perhaps? Hmm. Looks as if there ought to be an anagram in there, somewhere.

Ok, you're in charge of the snacks.

Set 'em up Joe!

Whats your poison?
