Take a free bar of chocolate/glass of wine/plate of green beans - whatever floats your boat.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rachel - I was thinking exactly that yesterday. If the pronunciation is Me Me, and my blog is called Being Me, does that mean I did a Being Me Me Me?<br /><br /><br /><br />Lo - I have decided deliberately not to find out what a meme is. It is much more interesting not to know. It makes me enigmatic. (My new word for ignorant.)<br /><br />Steve - it's a long time since anyone said 'you did your homework very well'.

I just find everything hilarious. As I say, it causes me no end of trouble.<br /><br />Christine - I think you win in the weird habit stakes there. <br /><br />Alan - I think it means we are both crazy. This isn't news for me. How about you?<br /><br />Susan - how nice to make your acquaintance! And thanks for reading my book reviews. I'm never sure whether people do, so it's nice when someone says something about them. Actually, I guess they're not really 'reviews', or if they are, they are very irreverent ones and yet again prove why the Times Literary Supplement never responds to my pitches.Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74882821337502001.post-52141645225759994112010-07-07T09:51:34.989-07:002010-07-07T09:51:34.989-07:00Very, very funny !
