Ah yes yes yes. You know what? I know Manny.

Ah Exeter. See there Manny, my friend.

This story speaks to me and fills me with an artistic yearning. And now I have to go think about Manny. Obsess about Manny, in fact. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend.

PS. Panic. I can't do voting. I get pale and strange. . I don't have to vote. OK. Thanks.

However I am enjoying lurching my way through commenting on entries. By early new year I will be onto the Poets, via the Vogon poets, and all the other entries. .

This is kind of like those bumper summer specials that came with comics. They lasted for the entire holidays. . Magic. I love it.

You don't have to vote - although you could just send in an email (with usernumber). I feel I have to say this for Bel...

I thought you'd probably run into Manny when you were out Christmas shopping.

Glad you like our bumper issue. Happy Christmas to all!

(I'm just after explaining to Elektra about Freemasons, Jacob's Ladder, the Stone of Scone, and Daleks in the manger scene...tell you later...I'm turning into Nigel...)

I voted

I really enjoyed this, on a quiet Sunday morning (the day after Christmas Day but not Boxing Day) indeed, even I wouldn't like to explain it to Manny...

Thanks Dmitri

Glad you enjoyed it, GB - enjoy whatever day it is.

pom pom Happy New Year all. Oops. Sorry. I'm a bit late here getting back.



Sorry DG my friend. Didn't mean to put you in a tight spot re competitions and voting and it all, and what you said, and wanting to support Bel etc. Of course. .

I just emailed Bel to explain about me and competitions, which is what I should have done in the first place.

Sorry again. I offer you cake.

I will always show my support for and the work contributed here. I'll just do it in my own way, know what I mean. Hmm. I don't mix well with competitions. Never have done. Long story. Kind of like the sound of pink painted nails running down a blackboard.

No apology needed, whatsoever, no way, no time.

Our Christmas issue is not about the competition. (I think that's just a tradition, really, that we give everybody a reason to read everything?)

It's about our sharing with each other. So no bother about the voting thingy.

Hah. Splendid. Thankyou. Glad I got that one sorted. .

And all the best with the competitions! I think competitions can be fun. And a buzz. And creatively challenging. I don't want to spoil the atmosphere by being all intense .

I've been reading the rest of this 'ere magazine. Nice one.

Saw Manny in Exeter yesterday. Did so. Haha. The power of imagination. Love it. It is good when we can inspire each other I think. Yes. Now I'm on a writing roll. OK so off to write a story about various ghost sensations in the key of A.

See you all further down the line.

Man, I think we need Manny to come and speak a bit more about that whole loving-your-neighbour-and-sharing-stuff idea.

Amen to that, Willem.
