Rincewind Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 and the title of my first book available now. I have put it on Ebay and have a created a special email adress for orders. Ebay CB emai [email protected] At a later date I will add to it and may even include other local writers as guest contributers. I will have it done properly by a publisher instead of at a printers. sorry about the spam. I had 30 copies printed and took them to Vicky Park to sell at the carnival and never sold one. On other subjects I signed for the LCFC forum and the Foxes Player I hope it's worth it. I am out of work now. The security firm that I worked for folded or more precise moved without telling anyone. I sent a letter a solicitor had drafted and it was returned. I thought about applying to be a steward at at Leicester but my SIA liscense does not cover what I need. I think you need a different type of qualification. Anyway I would rather do part time now and claim tax credits. I am approaching 60 and don't want to over do things. I will be able to spend more time researcing real ale and may even get down to some City games. Would have loved to have gone to the Real Madrid game but I'm only on JS atm
MC Prussian Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Good to hear back from you, Ken. It's been a while. All the best for the near future - I'm sure there must be a job for a nightguard with a penchant for alcoholic beverages. What about working security for a brewery??
Zingari Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 All the best Ken and if the book was anything other than poetry I might have put a bid in , but i fookin hate poetry
AoWW Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 All the best Ken and if the book was anything other than poetry I might have put a bid in , but i fookin hate poetry Philistine!
Zingari Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Philistine! it's poncey apart from "the charge of the light brigade" maybe
Rincewind Posted 8 August 2011 Author Posted 8 August 2011 I thought it was 'poncy' too at one time. Then it was set as an assignment at creative writing classes. I found I was better at it than short stories. I then started to read some. A little Shakespeare and the classics but I prefer the comic verse. I dont go much on 'I wondered lonely as a cloud, across feilds of dafadols' or whatever it is. A lot of songs start off as poetry. If you have Keats and Robbie Burns forced on you when young it would put you off poetry but I feel its a good way of ridding yourself of penned up emotions because what you put down is instant thoughts unlike other forms of writing where you think about it then revise and revise and revise until its right. The Charge of the Light Brigade Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1. Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. "Forward, the Light Brigade! "Charge for the guns!" he said: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 2. "Forward, the Light Brigade!" Was there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldier knew Someone had blunder'd: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 3. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. 4. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air, Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. 5. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. 6. When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge they made, Honor the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 8 August 2011 Posted 8 August 2011 Miss you lurking around at night on this forum mate
Rincewind Posted 8 August 2011 Author Posted 8 August 2011 Been doing other things. A browser game called 'Tribal Wars takes up a lot of my time and I was doing a lot of night work. Did not think it would be very busy here during the close season. I will try and pop in more now the footies started agin and it's going to be a winning season for Svens men. I sent an email to LCFC about becoming a steward or some other work but the person in charge was not available at the time and not had a reply. I am just looking for part time work atm. Not too bothered about full time but the longer I am out the harder it is going to be. At least with doing part time I have something to show prospective employers even if it's voluntary work. I have enrolled in a learning centre in the Haymarket and enquired about Citizens Eye which does community reporting. I don't mind doing a few hours a day cleaning. I can claim tax credits which is a little more than jobseekers and claim rebate off rent and council tax. I should be able to survive and mabe have some spare time to go to some City games. I've had it working 12 hour shifts 48 plus hours a week.
