Blogger is being a little bugger!

"Bugger! Bugger!"
"Language! Timothy!"

Oh, I'd this great (reasonable) post lined up for you to read this evening. I pushed the save button, to be swiftly followed by the published button and the bloody blogger bovver boy went on a go slow. I'd to re-boot the blinking computer and lost the post.

It was a very informative and thought provoking post on the subject of "How to Write a Novel in 30 minutes!" ;-) (full of black humour) But, to be quite honest I can't be arsed to re-write the post today. It did featured two of my favourite subjects in the whole wide world, opera (YUK!) and a romantic storyline (of course, with a twist!) ;-)


Maybe I'll publish it tomorrow.
TF, maybe not such a good idea! :o
Why not?
'cause it may offend those readers of a delicate nature.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure if I've readers of a delicate nature!
But, how do you know, for you've never met them in the flesh.
True. Oh, in that case I'll leave them with this little message instead. (Words flowed out of The PIC mouth at the weekend) Stolen in part from the song lyrics by Pink Floyd).

"All that you touch and all that you see,
is all that your life will ever be"

Rather touching methinks :)

(TF! What? Don't be saying that, they'll think you've gone soft in your 'ead).

Last time I checked I couldn't see a delicate nature. Except in the squeamish side of things:-)

Nice words from the PIC's mouth:-)

Ms Lane, Does that mean you're corrupt just like me?

Oh, talking of sqeamish two silly
students (girls) started screaming today as they saw a spider that was no bigger than the size of a baby's finger nail. I rescued the spider, poor little thing scared out of his wits he was! The PIC does surprise me at times :) TFx

Dar said...

Who's the Pic; the one you've been having an on going diolog with? ;)

Sorry to hear about your lost post. I hate that when that happens, but I do love twists....

I'm thinking about your little message, but it keeps being interrupted by, ...everything under the sun is in tune.... I'm not sure that's all you are; I'm thinking you can also be what touches you. :)

Its a bugga when you loose the words and you have to do it again..but it ougta go into draft mine usually does........

Amanda said...

What a pain losing your post - you must re-write! I am a delicate flower, but I'll cope!

What lovely words too! (not the bugger ones you understand!) ;-)

Shirley Wells said...

Delicate nature? I haven't seen one of those for years.

Funnily enough, all my informative and thought provoking posts get lost in the ether, too. That's why my blog is pure dross...

Fionnuala said...

Dont go thinking we're delicate flowers out here! WE WANT the post! WE WANT the post! Fx

TOM FOOLERY said...

Dar, PIC = My Partner.(in crime). The one I'm having an on-going conversation with would be my alto-ego AKA as my conscience :0

Blu, Blogger did keep flashing up a message saying something like
"Problem with saving changes..."

I ignored the messge :O

AB, I might re-post, as long as you don't become a weeping willow on me ;-)

Shirley, Actually you blog is rather good, TF does read dross! She has been known to write pages of double dross though :O

F, Hmmmm, I'm thinking I might just (NOT!!!!) post my words of wisdom on writing. Call me a shrinking violet, if you wish ;-)

Karen said...

Lovin' the lilac Tommo - it's made me feel quite skittish!

I'm not easily offended, despite my delicate nature (?) and I like stolen lyrics :o)

Crystal Jigsaw said...

Blogger often plays silly buggers with me too. Nothing worse than losing a post. When I'm writing a post I keep saving throughout.

Chopper said...

Err, I must have touched and seen some bloody (substituted word for readers of a sensitive nature) weird stuff ( also substituted etc etc) in my life then!

TOM FOOLERY said...

Clarkey, Sod it! I;ve posted the masterclass i writing a novel.

CJ, SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! Thanks for the tip :)

NB, Methinks you're lying, you;ve been caught in the net ;-)

Chopper, Ahhh, but you're life has "Only Just Begun" (soon to be a married man)
