unreliable witness: welcome! and thanks for the kind words.

oh and no, not the chickens! arghhh! actually, I have to tell you that I am one of the few people I know with the dubious honour of actually having been set upon by murderous chickens: picture a 7-year-old city boy visiting a farmer family friend and being invited to ‘feed the chickens’. so I hold the bucket half-full with corn with one hand and chuck the corn with the other, but I’m too slow and the chickens aren’t in the mood to wait for this city boy to catch on. you can imagine where it goes from there… I must have resembled some sort of ineffectual scarecrow, mocked even by the chickens…

herhimnbryn: hello! old bill must be lying on his stomach (or what is left of it) in anguish as we speak…

Oh, E. Bill is eating his heart out! I know, I know about the need to stop. If you have to, you have to………BUT I would miss you.

Unfashionably late, and my first time commenting (I think), though I have been reading. All I wanted to say was that this is a fabulous post, like all your others, and if you even dare consdering stopping I will come up to Harrogate and, er, set chickens on you. Or something. This is not an idle threat – ask the other victims of Chicken Retribution if you don’t believe me.

I would definitely (and have) buy any book written by a fellow blogger. It’s called sharing the love and sometimes it is even a great read

And the ‘one day’ refers to the fact that the smell of cigarettes hangs around for a loooooong time. Just when you think that you have rid yourself of it, your olfactory nerves will revive themselves and you’ll notice the smell yourself … but hang in there, it gets better and besides – that is what Febreze was invented for wasn’t it?

andre: hello and welcome! whatever happened to the top hat?

timbo: your girlfriend told me…

kate: one’s often neglectful of the third person.

le meg: if it’s you commenting, heavenly creature that you are, even dismissive insults would be warmly accepted.

minnie: hello, nice to see you again. I’d should have liked to have added ‘murder’ to that list, but you can’t have everything…

Libel, offend and argue.

That sounds like an excellent method of combining blogging with smoking cessation to me.

You are sooooooo fishing for compliments, darling.

Don’t stop.

What you need is a masters course that makes you write a 3000 word assignment every week for 7 months – then the question of ‘to blog or not to blog’ is rendered quite redundant, as you will, quite simply, do ANYTHING to get out of writing those assignments.

Not to mention the fact that it’s a tremendous relief to use personal pronouns without fear of being soundly whipped by an uptight academic for your negligence of the third person.

timbo: that’s right… talking of smoke and mirrors, where’s my prize?

sophie: I shall check your flckr page out soon! keep meaning to do it and then getting side-tracked.

ariel: I always look forward to being obfuscated by you.

lj: thank you darling, what a sweetheart you are!

cubana gringa: I think the lady doesn’t protest enough!

waspgoddess: don’t leave US!

zinnia: it’ll be about… erm… what was it again?

peachy ophelia: come with me.

mr. x: thank you, that’s one of the nicest things anyone’s ever said to me.

alley: you guys would actually buy a book written by me?

peter: lol right ho!

nicki: that disarmingly incontestable logic… you won’t be saying that when I turn up in positano unannounced looking for you!

enidd: lol ‘that dratted mr. x’? you make me laugh even when you’re not trying.

anxious: hello and welcome! oh and happy birthday, you of the laser beam eyes…

clarissa: I shan’t just yet. there is still the small matter of a get-together (a blogmeet?) that ends with some of the participants drinking stuff they shouldn’t and inadvertently getting poked about…

amy: what do you mean ‘one day’???
