A Telling Off

That was fabulous! Don't listen to the nasty man, he's obviously got ulterior motives... Besides, you were obviously very busy that day, off to play tennis!

JJ Beattie said...

*Chuckling*

And he was a bit wooden (or maybe plastic), let's be honest.

Oh
Lane

Your creative facility for keeping busy and yet not actually writing is truly a inspiring, or anti-inspiring, in a non-productive way.

Anyhow, so afterwards … any Zebra rug action off camera?

McBöbø said...

PS, on the Xtranormal site (now a fav in the office). There is a "remix" button. In less responsible hands this could be a force for evil!

Debs said...

Sheer brilliance. Love it!

Queenie said...

I too have urgent writing to do and now I want to go and make a movie!!! I only came over here for a short break but I can see it stretching into a long break. Missis Lane I fear you have put temptation in my path.

HelenMHunt said...

Lane, that's hysterical - I am rolling around on the floor laughing! I particularly like the way he says Peggy Flobbins and Teabag! So funny.

I cannot allow myself anywhere near that movie making site though.

SueG said...

This is brilliant beyond words...which might be a new excuse for not writing :-)

Tam said...

Lane, you are a genius! You must submit it to Cannes with all speed!

I had no idea you were so posh...

Dumdad said...

Excellent! Palme d'or next stop?

Annieye said...

I must get on with the ironing .... I must not let my mouse wander ... I have only ONE day off before the elections ... I must not waste it ... I must get on. I must. I must.

But hang on - I can see we could have some fun in the office with this little gadget!

Lane it was so funny. It really made me laugh.

Nik Perring said...

Love it!

ChrisH said...

Noooooo! You naughty girl to put so much temptation in my way... is this a cunning plan to stop all writers doing any writing?!

Cait O'Connor said...

Hilarious!

Amanda said...

Brilliant - love it! x

SpiralSkies said...

Oh my God, that's blimmin brilliant that is!

(As was your pome in First Edition wot I did with my eyes today.)

HURRAH!

aims said...

That is nothing but fab Lane!

Loved it all!

Well done!

The bit about the zebra rug just cracked me up!

Paige said...

That is soooooo funny!

I love it!

Leatherdykeuk said...

*laughs*
That was wonderful!

Lindsay said...

Great for a giggle!

sonia said...

fantastic - gave me a good laugh and believe you me that was no easy feat today. Off to do some ironing - I know I think I need a talking to too.

Felix said...

Lane: What can I say?
Who is he? Is it serious? Will he introduce himself to us? What if we disapprove of the new man in your life?

Babaloo said...

Ha ha and another ha! Brilliant. Especially the zebra rug.
I'm very tempted to have a look at that site. But I won't. Can't. Shouldn't. Mustn't.

Ah, maybe just a little look....

Daryl said...

Aims sent me and I have to say I am going to NOT not not not ... oh damn ..

misty and poppy bichon said...

Our mummy said that was the funniest thing she had seen for ages. We took over the keyboard just to say hello to Peggy and Teas - we miss hearing about them.

Fia said...

Brilliantly brilliant.

Please don't give him my address will you?

Calistro said...

Ooooh that's brilliant! I LOVE it. Blogs will be swarming with movies now! Including, ahem, mine. First draft of novel 2? What first draft...;)

Lane said...

Denise - Tennis? How did you guess? Was it the headband?:-)

JJ - He is a little stilted isn't he:-)

McBobo - I have a flair for productive nonproduction.
And I saw that button. I'll have to take m'chances!

Debs - ta m'dear:-)

Queenie - Sorry! I hope you didn't succumb:-)

Helen - he pronounces it so well donchya think:-)

SueG - It's called taking procrastination to extremes:-)

Tam - you would not believe how posh. Never without a tiara, me:-)

Dumdad - Cannes - here we come:-)

Annie - you could have great fun in the office with this. But what about work?;-)

Nik - Glad you liked it:-)

ChrisH - I hope you didn't click through Chris. Just to 'have a quick look'. That was my downfall:-)

Cait - Thank you:-)

Amanda - Glad you liked it too:-)

Spiral - thank you. That pome was very hard to read with your eyes, what with funny font and all. Thanks for persevering:-)

Aims - glad you liked it Aims. He's very subtle in his approach isn't he;-)

Paige - Ta m'dear:-)

Leatherdykeuk - Thankyou too:-)

Lindsay - Glad you think so:-)

Sonia - Perhaps you need a little plastic man to talk you out of this ironing:-)

Felix - I don't think we'll be seeing him again. One telling off like this is enough!:-)

Babaloo - Did you?? I bet you di-id:-)

Daryl - hi there. I bet you did too. Or maybe you're made of stronger stuff:-)

Misty and Poppy - Peggy and Teabag say they will demand to be allowed on the blog soon. It's their right:-)

Fia - Damn. I already did. It was the only way I could get rid of him. Don't answer the door:-)

Calistro - Noooooo. Finish your draft! I forbid you!:-)

sheepish said...

How and where do you find these things? You should be on Britains got Talent, I had the misfortune of seeing a snippet of it the other night and you would definitely win hands down.Will there be a sequel, oh I do hope so?

Joe Stein said...

Brilliant, I’ve not seen anything like this before. Now I’ll have to go to the site and check it out.
But the idea of being able to produce a book every year???
I think that guy needs a new researcher...

Elizabeth said...

This is very funny indeed.
I spend way too much time blogging. It is such fun compared to writing.
Who wants my writing anyway? I am now off to take the dog to the dog park.
I have started a blog for the dog. The dog was offered a free dog bed on the strength of his blog.
I got lots of fancy brownies.
Why do I pretend to be a writer?

The Gossamer Woman said...

Wonderfully funny, you do know how to have a laugh at yourself. Don't take it too seriously, Lane! Two years isn't that long for a good book. Some of us even can't.

Casdok said...

Brillient! Cant wait to see the next one!

Marion said...

It's no wonder I enjoy your blog. I can always be assured of pure entertainment. How creative you are!!

Troy said...

What a wonderful surprise! Great movie! Don't bother with the novel just turn it into a film.

Flowerpot said...

Great stuff - where did you find that?!

Carol and Chris said...

Hahahaha, I don't know where you find these things but I am very glad that you do!!! That was just brilliant!!

Although I am now slightly concerned about your knees...your knee caps appear to have been kidnapped!! You might want to see a Doctor about that?

C x

Lane said...

Sheepish - I blame The Teenager for putting these things my way. MAybe she should go on Britain's Got Talent:-)

Joe Stein - Hi there. A book a year is a bit optimistic I admit. I wonder where he gets his info from?:-)

Elizabeth - Ha! Funny how blogging is so easy. And even funnier how good dogs are at it. At least you got brownies though:-)

The Gossamer Woman - well if we don't laugh at ourselves, there's always someone who will:-)

Casdok - next one? Don't tempt me:-)

Marion - Hi there. And thank you. That's a very kind thong to say:-)

Troy - good idea. What fun that would be!

Flowerpot - T'was The Teenager. It always is:-)

Carol - Looks like my elbows have gone the same way! Cool outfit though eh?:-)

Faye said...

I'm with Felix. This man is not good for you Lane, even though you rejected him in your reply to Felix. I suspect he's a wanna be writer himself and gets off on upbraiding you in public. Get rid of that zebra rug for now!

TOM FOOLERY said...

Lane, Alas unable to download your masterpiece. PC not playing ball. Memory overloaded with far too many photos I'm afraid :O TFx

Karen said...

That's brilliantly random - especially the churchbell at the end!!

I love it - and feel thoroughly chastened at the same time :o)

Graeme K Talboys said...

Oh god. I was crying by the end. Truly funny.

Lane said...

Faye - I think you're right:-)

TF - Photos are far more important!

Karen - Don't be chastened. Your are productive!

Graeme - Thank you:-)

aminah said...
