The People's Hero Posted 18 January 2007 Posted 18 January 2007 I'm writing a hilarious (but it has to be said - quite cutting) expose on much beloved and to a certain degree maligned foxestalk poster 'of the people' extraodinaire, Monk. He revealed himself to me last night, in the way that only a man can do (to another man) and whilst not wanting to give away the main thrust of my booky creation, the man is quite clearly NOT A MONK. Buy it now... The Monk ; Debunked. Available soon in all good bookstores. Just £6.95 (£5 for all posters with over 3,000 posts).

No it has nothing to do with actually being a Monk, I assure you. It was a nickname at Uni. long story. I won't bore you with it. And I dont want to spoil your obviously fabulous storyline. Fantastic. I am honoured. Can I get some free insurance with my purchase?
Monk Posted 18 January 2007 Posted 18 January 2007 Mate you dont seem to be getting the interest from the publishers?? I've just been down waterstones and they said they didnt have it?? Please advise
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 Mate you dont seem to be getting the interest from the publishers?? I've just been down waterstones and they said they didnt have it?? Please advise They turned it down. Said I needed to sex it up a bit. I said I refused to compromise the serious material in my expose. I plan to set up my own publishers to go with my tutoring, import/sell and ticket hoarding/selling ventures. So erm... why are you called Monk? I was secretly hoping you might have the hairstyle and robes!
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 Pray do tell. Lots of love, The Nun. I've got the sniff of another expose... a follow up, if you will, to my would-be bestseller 'The Monk - Debunked'.
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 I've got the sniff of another expose... a follow up, if you will, to my would-be bestseller 'The Monk - Debunked'. I eagerly await both novels. And the autobiograhical expose on the TPH that is bound to follow those!
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 TPH - The Fall From Grace (and why I can never visit Howletts Zoo again).
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 TPH - The Fall From Grace (and why I can never visit Howletts Zoo again). Following an unsavoury incident with a llama?
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 You might call it unsavoury.. but what Llamy The Llama and I had was special. Special I tell you!
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 You might call it unsavoury.. but what Llamy The Llama and I had was special. Special I tell you! But did you really need the rubber dress and tin of alphabetti spaghetti?
Monk Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Right, when I was at Uni I had a placement year where I worked at IBM, in a bit of a crappy job. My mate also had a job at IBM but a better one, so he started calling me 'Little Monkey' for laughs as my job involved a heck of a lot of data. This then evolved into a more amicable 'monk' by which I am now known by most of my friends - even though I no longer have a data monkey job. So its monk in the ooo ooo aaa aaa aaa sense as opposed to the 'praise the lord in a hooded outfit' kind. Though I wouldnt say no to the nun Does this aid your novel sir?

Still, thanks for sharing, little monkey!
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 That disappoints me! Still, thanks for sharing, little monkey! My interest in your book has now waned. I was expecting monkly tails. Not monkey tails!
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 My interest in your book has now waned. I was expecting monkly tails. Not monkey tails! Don't worry, much of it will be made up... or at least sensationalised. I would never sex up a book.. but I'm not above lies and exaggeration. OLE goodfellows! OLE!

I would never sex up a book.. but I'm not above lies and exaggeration. OLE goodfellows! OLE! Hurrah! My faith is restored! Especially if the book now becomes about a monkey who is a monk.
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 Hurrah! My faith is restored! Especially if the book now becomes about a monkey who is a monk. Yes, only the catch is... whilst everyone thinks he is a monk (which he isn't) he fools everyone again in to thinking he's a monkey, but he's actually an investment type guy in London. Or something else.
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Yes, only the catch is... whilst everyone thinks he is a monk (which he isn't) he fools everyone again in to thinking he's a monkey, but he's actually an investment type guy in London. Or something else. I'm not sure I like your ending. If he was actually a guy who everyone thought was a monk, then fooled everyone into thinking he was a monkey, but he was actually Llamy the Llama? Now there's your story!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Yes, only the catch is... whilst everyone thinks he is a monk (which he isn't) he fools everyone again in to thinking he's a monkey, but he's actually an investment type guy in London. Or something else. Yeah yeah yeah, but what's his coat like?
Monk Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Yeah yeah yeah, but what's his coat like? So good you could write an entirely seperate novel on it - Monk and the sacred coat
Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 So good you could write an entirely seperate novel on it - Monk and the sacred coat So Jim Bob's now got 4 novels on the go? I can hardly contain my excitment!
The People's Hero Posted 19 January 2007 Author Posted 19 January 2007 Yeah yeah yeah, but what's his coat like? Imagine our two (almost identical) coats combined (+2.3 litres of dark pigment and 55 ml of suaveness) shake, and serve. Nothing like that.

Mine is just a pale imitation of yours.
