Cheers
To everyone for their kind words in relation to the book deal thing. There are just too many links to trackback to but let me say here and now that if I manage to secure a multi-million film rights advance which will see me in clover for the rest of my days I will buy each of you at least two pints of your choosing (beer, wine, spirits, angel’s jism – will have to take advance orders for that one) and a packet of scampi fries.

Mines a Guinness and a Middleton chaser. Dont worry it wont be long before the begrudgers start having a pop. I expect a few feckers from cork will be soon attacking you.
March 24th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Can I have a pint and a small one?.Seriously, very excited to read the book.Well done you!.
March 24th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Cheers, Sapling.
Why Cork, MacDara?
March 24th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
What is it with the Cork bashing this week?
Anyway, Twenty, make it a packet of Bacon Bites and we’ve got a deal.
March 24th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
Fuck the beer I need a car
March 24th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
A car? Go steal your own car.
Bacon bites or scampi fries. Let nobody say I don’t cater for all tastes.
March 24th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
I love scampi fries, even though my mother always said, “They smell like wet knickers”.
March 24th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Did she do side by side comparisons?
March 24th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Twenty because people from cork are usually the first to go banging on about things, see Blarneyman over on The Swearing ladies site. before long you will be getting it from every county.
And seeing as you are also offering food i’ll have a packet of Sam spuds Smokey bacon to go with the pint and chaser.
March 24th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Christ, I’m not a crisp factory. It’s scampi fries, bacon bites or a fresh air sandwich, you pick.
I’m sure Blarneyman is a nice person underneath it all.
March 24th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I’m with Macdara. Sam Spudz Smokey Bacon must be included. Scrap the bacon bites.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
rancheros. or a nice pack of king crisps.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
What about chipsticks? Are they crisps, or chips….or sticks? You could sellotape a packet to the cover of each book and let the reader decide…
March 24th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Chipsticks for me too or Monster Munch, and a rum and coke, heavy on the ice. And Havana 7 too, none of your Bacardi shite.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
what about some Lays , a ride and a snack at the same time
March 24th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
famous last words – two pints of your choosing. “right ron, that’ll be fourteen pints of wine, two pints of rum and coke, a pint of southern comfort…”
March 24th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
A children’s book ,I presume?
March 24th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Shit! Looks as if your hands will have quite a bit of company in your pockets Twenty.
March 24th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
what about Meanies…they’re lovely!!
March 24th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Twenty just give them all ‘Three Jumps at the Cupboard Door’!
Save the Bubbly for me.
March 24th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Its a pity you neglected to tell people that the book is about the history of coal from the 18 century on, hey I’ll buy, can’t wait to see how it ends.
Well done lad.
March 24th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
I congratulated you twice. Do I get four drinks?
March 24th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
I congratulated you twice too but once was under a pseudonym as a little joke.
March 25th, 2007 at 1:30 am
Congratulations Twenty, that is great news. I would actually buy this book.
PS I hope this means the return of Pristine Pascal.
I realise I’m probably the only one who liked that guy but still…
March 25th, 2007 at 1:37 am
What a load of bollox.
March 25th, 2007 at 3:45 am
Well done on the deal.I’ll buy multiple copies of both and stash them in god-botherer libraries all over the place.
While we waiting can I have some Hula-hoops and a Mojito please.Thangaverramush.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:39 am
At the moment it’s a pint of soda water and lime for me, but by the time your book is out I’ll be hitting the vodka bigtime.
Look forward to chatting to you tomorrow!
March 25th, 2007 at 11:30 am
Scampi fries (a man’s snack) for me, please.
As for pints, whatever happened to Black and Tan’s? (Half Smithwicks and half Guinness = one pain in the hole for the barman). I’ll have two.
March 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
I’ll have some Lays too
“usually the first to go banging on about things”
- sounds about right, & don’t u forget it
March 25th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
How about some nice glossy colour pages of ‘poos around the world’ – byoodiful!
March 25th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Under the new congratulating twice rules I claim my 4 tequila smogsets (it’s LA see) and some Deluxe mixed nuts (with fewer than 40% peanuts, see, or I’ll go right to the press with my “Twenty Major Thinks Self Too Important To Bother With Quality of Fans’ Bar Snacks!” scoop.)
March 25th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Kwak and Hula Hoops Salt & Vinegar, please.
March 25th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Chipsticks for me too or Monster Munch, and a rum and coke, heavy on the ice. And Havana 7 too, none of your Bacardi shite.
Drinkin’ rum and coca cola…whatta gal!
Seein’ yer offrin’ Major, I have two half pints o’ lager and lime and a pickled egg.
March 25th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
at this rate twenty’ll be spending more on snacks than drinks
March 25th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
I’m fond of cheese straws too if there’s any of them on the go.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:40 am
2 pints of guinness bacon fries and a good book to read them with – cheers twenty
March 26th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Two pints of plain and a packet of wet knickers please.
Nice job with Sinead. Are ya planning on leaving us hanging at the end of Book 1 so we have no option but to go for the second one?
March 27th, 2007 at 1:50 am
That’d be Murphys and Bacon Bites. What a night that will be.
