I have read one of OB's books, and am part way through another, so I echo Cussies sentiments that OB should look to publishing them...CUSSIE01 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 8:44 amNot enough G&W, tried for a lighthearted attempt ( obviously got it all wrong ) to encourage OB to publish his books as the one he emailed me was very good and the lad obviously has a talent. He’s probably too modest to sing his own praises but anyone who can write 3 novels deserves a shout out. I should take some writing lessons off him so apologies to OB if my post came across as crass and to anyone else who thought I’d lost the plot.

Cussie, i dont think anyone who read your post thought it was crass or anything even remotely near it. My response to your post was just a piss takeCUSSIE01 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 8:44 amNot enough G&W, tried for a lighthearted attempt ( obviously got it all wrong ) to encourage OB to publish his books as the one he emailed me was very good and the lad obviously has a talent.

Im sure OB took your post in the best possible taste, as he wears his blonde wig, stockings and crosses his legs, just like Kenny Everett

If you publish, I will buy it.Orange Box wrote: ↑Sat Jan 10, 2026 1:20 pm I’d love to publish mine, but it’s expensive and there’s a lot of competition out there. The joy for me is the writing and planning the plots. I don’t do it all the time, but once I get the bit in my teeth it’s all consuming.

Re: What are you reading
I’m appalled. That Cussie is just a bad, bad egg and needs to be spanked by my good friend, Ms Swan. And as for your comments on my wig and stockings - you promised not to talk.

DM me your email and I’ll send you a pdf file. If I’m really honest, I’m not good enough with computers and haven’t got a clue how to publish on Kindle. Anybody got any experience?

I think my Dad got it free in a magazine and it was extracts from Brain Salad Surgery, but I'd never had/seen a flexi disc before that, so was a bit of a novelty. I'm not sure if I still have it anywhere![]()
Apparently, Giger did a few pieces of artwork for the Brain Salad Surgery album.
He also did album art for Debbie Harry,Magma, and The Dead Kennedys.
