Post by: Mince on July 15, 2009, 04:49:40 PM: Does anyone have any ideas for a plot?

Are we talking about your funeral here?

Post by: Mince on July 15, 2009, 05:08:09 PM: The Death of Mince

Has a certain ring to it.

Post by: Diane CBPFC on July 15, 2009, 05:22:25 PM: It would be like a murder mystery with a twist. Instead of trying to prove who did it ? everyone would be taking credit for the murder so the detective would have to figure out who didn?t.

I think it would make a smashing story!

They'll get Brad Pitt to play my part.

Post by: Tom on July 15, 2009, 10:01:34 PM: I'd have to play myself.

Yes, I know he's expensive, but who else can do it?

Or Ingrid.

Title: Re: Let's all write a book
Post by: The Peepmaster on July 16, 2009, 11:27:13 AM: They call the boats out here in the Philippines "bancas". For some reason my brain keeps trying to devise a limerick regarding Mince when I think of one.

When Mince tried sailing a banca,
He damned-near almost sank her
A watching local
Being vocal
Exclaimed "Just look at that pilchard!"

Perhaps we could do a book of limericks?
Title: Re: Let's all write a book
Post by: Malc on July 16, 2009, 01:45:59 PM: An illustrated book!

Incidentally, that last limerick didn't scan. It would have been better if you'd written:

A curious local,
blind drunk and vocal.

For goodness sake, it's not rocket science.

I think Calypso should start it off!

So are you saying that I should start off the murder or writing the book?

A curious local,
blind drunk and vocal.

And the last line would have read better as:

Cried "Look at that absolute pilchard!"

Not rocket science indeed.

Fabulous expression, Diane - must remember that.

Right then. We need:
A publisher
A promoter
Someone to go on 'Loose Women'
I suppose the book itself would be a start.

WHAT book? I thought you'd gone staight to film!
Title: Re: Let's all write a book
Post by: Tom on July 16, 2009, 10:28:46 PM: Going back to the film, temporarily, who would sing the theme tune?
Title: Re: Let's all write a book
Post by: Mince on July 16, 2009, 11:31:11 PM: Peepmaster will obviously want to but we need to avoid an 18 certificate.

I can do both, Vulture. Either way, I win.

Post by: Diane CBPFC on July 18, 2009, 03:19:42 AM: No, we all would win.
