how do you know you are good at book launches?

i can drink your wine and eat your cheese.

 

oh Isaac, your alliterative aptitude and poetic prowess (not to mention
your literary learnedness ;-) are simply splendiferous to behold. What
a way with words.... between you and Gertrude..... gosh!

betty

 

Nah, I didn't PLAN the thing (I'd be crap at that!)....the publisher
did that - I was just a speaker. And I know I was good (don't you dare
burst my bubble <grin>) coz people listened with interest, laughed in
all the right places, and applauded heaps.... It felt so lovely...

I can't be too bad at it, coz I keep getting asked to do them...

as a bit of trivia who is credited with the creation of "hash browns"
and what ( if any) link is there with GS ?
Isaac. ( the visually challenged).

Gee, no idea about the origin of the phrase "hash browns" - but didn't
Gertrude's gal Alice B Toklas used to make "hash brownies"???

i'll resist the urge and leave the bubble alone.

 

Gertrude was a bus driver?

Got it wright first time
Isaac.

 

BUT, just because no photos of GS or ABT exist showing them riding
bikes doesnt mean that the pair weren't mad keen motorcyclists
Perhaps there was a Jewish,American,Lesbian bike club in Paris in the 1920s'

Just make sure you always flush away your "hash browns" Geoff!

 

She did "The DaVinci Code".

 

Oi! Leave me out of this!

On Gertrude, I'll stick with Brendan[1]

to dance in the park with Gertrude Stein
And as for Alice B Toklas
I'd rather Shakespeare and a box of chocolates"
