Chapter 9 Speak of the Devil
Ivor Slipper commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 9 Speak of the Devil
Mitch sure seems to have spent a lot of the last three days doing some sage thinking...- 52 comments

For your question, see my response to Geron. As for the veggies, I think only the French and posh restaurants call them haricots vert. The rest of us call them French beans. 🙂 We also call egg plant aubergine

As he cannot tell a lie, George has admitted he doesn't really know either. 😁
-
So Ben could be damned if he doesn't do his own washing, or damned if he does! Perhaps after all he should take the lazy option and leave it to mum? 🙂
-
Again thanks @Headstall. It was intended to be different and hopefully entertaining.
-
Thanks, Gary. It is intended to be a light hearted set of stories, but perhaps a little message slips in here and there. Does that give me a feather in my cap?
-
'Courage in a courgette' Could that become a new sales slogan for that vegetable? George would definitely prefer to accept your offer of turkey quills than Ben's mum's feather duster. 🙂
-
That's good to know. Am sure that like you, they are eagerly waiting for it to appear...
-
Perhaps Jake doesn't need to do any research? Can't imagine Mrs T will miss one little courgette, although it wouldn't be easy to explain why you had one in your bedroom!

Ben does some research George had to admit to himself that he'd rather enjoyed his email exchanges with whoever was jebanke69. He was now inclined to believe that it was two teenage boys who were sending the emails and not a troll. They just seemed to convey a sense of youthful enthusiasm and fun that he found hard to imagine a world weary adult could conjure up. Thus, hard as it was, he had to accept that somehow he had invented a story with characters who's names and locatio

George writes another story.
-
Why, thank you kind sir! Yep, life could be rough back in those days.
-
Thanks for the compliment @Daddydavek It is meant to be 'fun' story.
-
Glad I attracted you. I can promise there will be an ending, simply because it is already written! It is just a question of waiting for that point to arrive. I agree with you about "Would I Lie to You", although I think it is Lee Mack who is the standout.
-
George did have several books published, but that was some years ago and they are now all out of print. As for me, I have never reached those heights.
-
Pleased to hear it. The boys will definitely keen to read what George writes next seeing how much they've enjoyed replicating what he wrote in the last one. But perhaps they have some ideas of their own?
-
Thanks @Gary L Appreciate the comment.
-
I guess that tickled your fancy @drsawzall 😁 Pleased you are enjoying it.
-
Yep, the boys are smart enough to only reveal to each other. George will have to use his imagination, but then he's used to doing that as an author! Jake's no fool, getting in Mrs Travers' good books. Who knows she might be prepared to have him come again?
-
Contact is Established George had submitted his story to the site earlier in the week. It wasn't a site that allowed authors to post stories themselves, so he had to wait until it appeared. He was though quietly confident that because his first story had been accepted, there would not be any problems with this one. Even so it brought back memories of when he used to submit manuscripts of his books to publishers. It had taken many attempts before his first book had been a

George decides to respond to the second email he receives from jebanke69.

Chapter 7 A Bark with No Bite
Ivor Slipper commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 7 A Bark with No Bite
Seem to me Coy is trying to prove there is truth in that old statement - 'Where there's a Will there's a way' Thought it was about time for another Dad groan joke for you, Gary.- 66 comments

The geese are protesting already that George is taking too many feathers! I think Ben may have to suggest it is only fair that Jake spend two weekends with him to balance their sleepovers. 🙂 Hopefully Mrs Travers can be persuaded to agree.
-
Appreciate the comment. Yep, a bit more to read.
-
Pleased to see you are liking it. As for the reply, read on... 🙂
