Many lie over books 'to impress'
« on: December 11, 2008, 11:49:10 AM »
Just read this on the BBC website:

"Many lie over books 'to impress'

Could the right reading matter make all the difference?
Nearly half of all men and one-third of women have lied about what they have read to try to impress friends or potential partners, a survey suggests."

I have to admit, I've always kept quiet about my Beau Peep books.

They always have been under-the-counter books.

When I read the title of this thread, I thought someone had exposed the secret of Mince's bedroom seduction technique...

Tarks, how long did that sketch take to draw?

Surely Mince's 'bedroom seduction technique' is the largest bottle of Jack Daniel's he can find! - expecially if he still wears Y-fronts!!

You'd have to be a pretty dumb woman to be taken in by a bottle of booze down the Y-fronts! (I'd heard it was a miniature).

In hours? About at least a tenth of one.

So, at say ?20 per hour, that's about ?2 for that drawing.

I might commission you for some drawings.

It's a great drawing, Tarks. It only shows small on my computer, until I click on it. At first I thought it was something floating, like a magnificent whale, or maybe a basking shark. Then I saw it was Mince. Mind you, a drifting speck of plankton wasn't that far away.

You couldn't afford him, Mince. Even Sam sometimes has trouble coming up with the money.

Okay, let's not get carried away here, chaps. It's certainly not a great drawing, Peepsie, just a very quick doodle. Mincey, I don't draw doodles professionally, so if you're after something cheap and quick, you'll have to go to your usual supplier.

Twenty quid an hour? My food-taster charges twice that.

I like the way you've already stuck pins in it.

Peepmaster said no. I thought it might be your kind of thing.
