Not too many Conservatives to be found at those gigs though. But just in case, I'd say that as some of my songs may instigate a few seismic rumblings to the Tory bricks 'n' mortar, that is exactly where they should be played!I like the idea of the "Wild Wood" launch being there,being one of society's ferrets, In true stoat-style, I say lets take over Toad Hall! :-) x<br /><br />Eliza P (Ps.Re the captcha: I've not even had breakfast yet & someone is asking me to prove that I am not a robot!)Eliza Phttp://www.reverbnation.com/elizapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-14034824800985353222014-04-15T22:39:28.039+01:002014-04-15T22:39:28.039+01:00hurray, congratulations Jan and Julia and all conc...hurray, congratulations Jan and Julia and all concerned in this great launch, this one has legs! lots of them, by the look of things. <br />Just wondering why some of my AE colleagues are going for Dragon voice activated stuff, is there a reason in general or is it to save RSI in the wrists?

I know I have an original WW hardback somewhere but I can't find it. Launching in a conservative club is a delightful irony. Have any Oldham Tories actually read it? No, I thought not.<br />Anyway, a little bit of history will be made in the Slightly Foxed.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-563195004846062642014-04-15T12:05:28.511+01:002014-04-15T12:05:28.511+01:00They used to have a picture of Thatcher M in the m...They used to have a picture of Thatcher M in the main room, but they took it down because the members complained!Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-17845337847223962522014-04-15T11:53:08.570+01:002014-04-15T11:53:08.570+01:00I did blink and do a double take at 'Conservat...I did blink and do a double take at 'Conservative Club', Jan.

I jumped that hurdle, much to my surprise, so I'm going to have a bash on a spouted novel next. Or perhaps a novella. Or a a short story. Or a sentence. Ooh, I've just realised I'm typing this instead of talking it! Habit breaking will be the first hurdle...<br /><br />PS finding a tory in the uppermill con club is like finding a Needle in a teetotal tavern. thank godJan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-73552388324154010432014-04-15T09:41:19.654+01:002014-04-15T09:41:19.654+01:00I'll forgive you the Conservative Club, but ju...I'll forgive you the Conservative Club, but just this once. The whole enterprise sounds great, Jan, and they sound like real, old-fashioned launches.<br />By the way, congratulations on dictating a whole blog. I think Dragon's great for transcribing notes and research but I can never 'create' with it. Maybe it's because speech is so much 'of the minute' whereas when writing words we always have a wider context in mind.<br />Enjoy all those launches and I hope the book's a great success.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-83466881832241645972014-04-15T08:15:24.916+01:002014-04-15T08:15:24.916+01:00Nice chatty blog.

I'd been expecting it to make a lot of mistakes like some OCR programmes, but it's really quite accurate.Chris Longmuirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488093821886798927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-12587653985771349852014-04-15T06:35:22.802+01:002014-04-15T06:35:22.802+01:00Can't wait for the book!

Was complaining a bit (well only a bit because I should be thankful for small mercies) that a book launch wasn't half as nice as the opening night of a play but yours sounds like a lot of fun - as does the book. Hope you have mega sales! Catherine Czerkawskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554969254207924049noreply@blogger.com
