Vendée History

[woolybanana]

For those of us interested in French History, part of my book on the civil war in the Vendée is beginning to appear on my blog, in chapter length chunks.

[just john]

Well I did enjoy your unique boddy of work WB, (not William Boddy  "I just thought I'd write about anything that interested me," he says, "and the readers seemed to like it."), although I should have been doing something far more productive. I like your erudite style combined with the naive streetwise honesty[:)]. Especially glad of your awakening over the engine debacle, no one likes the hero to get shafted. Whatever happens to the engine, I don't know which model you have but even in France there much more economic ways to get a transplant motor, certainly on e-bay a replacement lump is about £1K Ebayengine

Anyway keep it up I look forward to the next instalment[:)]

Wooly, if you're going to be "serialising" your book and people could read it for free, can I now please have a refund of the money that I paid for your book?[6]

[Benjamin]

Does this mean I'm no longer going to get a backhander every time I surreptiously promote your book on the quiet?  [:(]

[woolybanana]

But I was not going to do ALL the book. I thought I'd stop about half way.

[mint]

Hey, Benjamin, I've promoted his book too and he's NEVER offered me a backhander!

Right, that's it, Wooly and his book on the Civil War in the Vendée, that's off my Christmas List for next year and he can jolly well promote his own book himself! [;-)]

 

[woolybanana]

well, you my darling can afford it what with the chateau and the servant[6]

[quote user="woolybanana"]well, you my darling can afford it what with the chateau and the servant[6][/quote]

Wooly, you meant "servantS", hein?

Love you lots, take care, keep warm, speak in private soon!  No good letting these plebs know everything, is it?

[woolybanana]

So the gamble on meat and corn futures came off and you got the gardener then? Well done, great.

[mint]

What gardener?  I thought Lady Chatterley had an estate manager of some sort?  Hey, you, don't downgrade the toyboy to a mere "gardener" IF YOU PLEASE!

Jokes about ploughing and furrows are not permitted on this forum, fortunately.[6]

I think you'll find Mellors was the gamekeeper (amongst other things)[6]

 

[mint]

JJ, thank you for reminding me that the name was Mellors and that his job was gamekeeper.

OMG, my memory is now so bad that I can't even remember with whom I had an affair or indeed what his job was!

And, if you think that sounds bad, you should have heard me telling whatisname (the OH) to er.....well, whatever it was that I wanted him to do but have now forgotten!

[Clair]

Sweet, you're priceless! [kiss]

[woolybanana]

Yah, booze is showing nounou!

[mint]

Hah, and you would know all about the booze and nounou, wouldn't you just![:P]

Clair, je le sais bien!  The price of a virtuous woman is above rubies!  Oui, c'est moi! (What is the emoticon for "pass the sick bag, SVP"?)

[just john]

Rubies what?[6]

 

[mint]

What d'ya mean "rubies what"?  Rubies as in precious gems, that's what!  You wanna an argument or you wanna see me outside?[:P]

[just john]

Rubies masquerade perhaps? Come outside? whodyou think you are Wendy Richards?[:P]

[mint]

Oh, JJ, I laughed till I cried with that song Come Outside!

As for the rubies, I'm afraid I'm NOT into all that dressing up.  So, no French waitress outfit for me![;-)]

[just john]

I'm going to bed now, what are you doing[8-|]

[mint]

I'm reading your post on the Forum, what else?[:P]
