Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments As long as he doesn't walk off with the profits, thats probably a good thing.

Jim | 21809 comments I tend to pocket the money whilst he's flirting with the ladies and dispensing somebody else's cheap white wine with a generous hand

Sounds like a very sensible division of lobour.

Jim | 21809 comments indeed, he's so much better at that than I am


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments On the other hand, you are better at lambing than he is.

Jim | 21809 comments but there again he's a damned good hand with sheep's feet, or so he informs me

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I had forgotten about that :) He has hidden depths, has Tallis.

Jim | 21809 comments Absolutely, turn his hand to pretty well anything that doesn't involve regular work


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I really couldn't see him being an accountant, or a law clerk...

Jim | 21809 comments In his extreme youth he was apprenticed to Miser Mumster which is where he learned to write in a good clear hand.....


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Good thing he wasn't apprenticed to a doctor then!

Jim | 21809 comments Unlike Tallis, in my case, my handwriting is my only qualification to practice medicine


message 364: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments I am borrowing that one :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It has loads of potential!


message 366: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments absolutely
Tallis will doubtless update us on how his promotion work proceeds


message 367: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments the work continues
pushing boulders uphill is child's play compared to this

message 369: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments that's the one.
mind you, I'd expect the issue of proper health and safety equipment pretty damned soon given the current litigious climate


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Thats a compensation claim just waiting to happen!


message 371: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments absolutely, as as for the chap chained to the rock with nothing to protect him from eagles, he's apparently already talking to his legal team!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I'll bet he is!




message 373: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments I think he's demanding a retrial as well


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments And some clothes, I hope!

As they're not feeling well though - I think they are an ill eagle team!!

trouble is he has to appear in court like that to show how badly he's been equipped by management

We can't see exactly how equipped he is in that picture!


message 378: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Obviously some matters are under judicial consideration and therefore prohibited from public discussion elsewhere


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Or public display for that matter. Which is frankly a bit of a relief...


message 380: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Absolutely
As an aside I am editing a slim volume of Tallis's memoirs, largely blog posts but with one or two stories never before seen.
And even the blog posts have been edited slightly to allow some ingress of the truth
Thus and so I endeavour to ensure I owe him no more favours than he owes me.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Don't let him near it, or all shreds or truth will vanish immediately.


message 382: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments it is true that he insists that his version is more artistically satisfying


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments In other words it makes him look good.


message 384: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments I suppose there is that as a side effect, but as he is an artist he would probably suggest that what makes him look good is artistically satisfying


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments '”Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”


message 386: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments That's the one, and all the better for being in a poetical format


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Now all he needs is a Grecian Urn...




message 388: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments I wondered if someone would ask how much does a Greek urn


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Very little at the moment, I would think!


message 390: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments As an aside I'm a little surprised your various pictures didn't bring Patti, obviously she's got to be careful what she downloads in a class of young ones ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Yes, I suppose the fact that they are 'ART' doesn't make pictures of naked men suitable for the kids to see. I'm sure she'll be in later on though...


message 392: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments I catch a hint of burning curtains even as you write :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Have the fire brigade standing by...




message 394: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Tallis left a soda syphon if that's any help?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Not against Patti in full swing.


message 396: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments that's true.
obviously somebody has led her astray this evening with a plate of bacon sandwiches and so she's not made an appearance


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments those little rascals have tired her out, and she's gone to bed with a book, is my bet.


message 398: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments yes, I can see that


message 399: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments A little more from Tallis

Jim | 21809 comments And now selling books about how to sell books
