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.
Can I have a pint and a small one?.Seriously, very excited to read the book.Well done you!.
Cheers, Sapling.
Why Cork, MacDara?
What is it with the Cork bashing this week?
Anyway, Twenty, make it a packet of Bacon Bites and we’ve got a deal.
Fuck the beer I need a car
A car? Go steal your own car.
Bacon bites or scampi fries. Let nobody say I don’t cater for all tastes.
I love scampi fries, even though my mother always said, “They smell like wet knickers”.
Did she do side by side comparisons?
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.
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.
I’m with Macdara. Sam Spudz Smokey Bacon must be included. Scrap the bacon bites.
rancheros. or a nice pack of king crisps.
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…
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.
what about some Lays , a ride and a snack at the same time
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…”
A children’s book ,I presume?
Shit! Looks as if your hands will have quite a bit of company in your pockets Twenty.
what about Meanies…they’re lovely!!
Twenty just give them all ‘Three Jumps at the Cupboard Door’!
Save the Bubbly for me.
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.
I congratulated you twice. Do I get four drinks?
I congratulated you twice too but once was under a pseudonym as a little joke.
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…
What a load of bollox.
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.
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!
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.
I’ll have some Lays too
“usually the first to go banging on about things”
- sounds about right, & don’t u forget it
How about some nice glossy colour pages of ‘poos around the world’ – byoodiful!
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.)
Kwak and Hula Hoops Salt & Vinegar, please.
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.
at this rate twenty’ll be spending more on snacks than drinks
I’m fond of cheese straws too if there’s any of them on the go.
2 pints of guinness bacon fries and a good book to read them with – cheers twenty
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?
That’d be Murphys and Bacon Bites. What a night that will be.
