Hello Folks,
Bob Lewington here again.
When I’m on the pot, I like to read a lot. It’s a man thing!
I was involved in a repossession yesterday. Sir Amethyst Yeast-Gravel had failed to pay his Council Tax. Sad to see the nobility falling on hard times.
They should take a leaf out of my cousin Terry’s book and consider armed robbery as a career option.
Anyway before I took possession of goods to the value of what Sir Yeast-Gravel owed, his noblilityness kindly allowed me to use his facilities.
You could tell he was posh because a copy of Horse and Hound was the in-store reading material.
I like horses. beautiful creatures. Legs, Necks, Tails. They’ve got the lot in my opinion. I like to spend Saturday afternoons with me mates in The Nervous Budgie supping a few pints of Beater and having a bet.
Never ridden a horse though! Saddles give me the collywobbles and just thinking about stirrups causes my rash to break out.
Where’s the Calamine lotion?
Best Wishes
Bob
By the by, Sir Yeast-Gravel had a very nice antique Blunderbuss hanging over his living room mantelpiece, which more than covered the amount due.
Terry thinks he can find a use for it, in a sawn off, customised version.
Pimp My Musket!
Hehehehehe!
He gets about a bit, does Bob! I see him on a Pots of the World Tour.
Now there’s a TV travelogue in the future!
LOL Bob doesn’t give a crap where he craps….or does he?
A man’s gotta poo what a man’s gotta poo
I don’t think it’s sad to see the nobility falling on hard times, Bob. I was hoping you might give me a few hints to unseat David Cameron from his horse and administer a similar fate to Sir Amethyst Yeast-Gravel…
Bob is on the pot pondering this one Kate!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but my book, The Bellman Chronicles, will be FREE to download on Sept. 10 – 11! Check it out on my Amazon Kindle page.. You won’t be disappointed. And if you can slip me a review, I’d be forever grateful…
Cheers!

Cheers – I will
I wonder if Terry Cotter will make a custom pot for Bob at some point…
We will ask him! (Great idea by the way)
I’ve bought a copy of Horse n hound to put in my loo, so people think I’m posh too. Thank you, Bob! and happy potting! Pottering?
Cheers – always a classy item to leave around. Potterising I call it.
First off I would like to say excellent blog!
I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a
difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!
Hello Susan – glad you enjoy the witterings! In answer to your question – this stuff just pours out of me largely in real time and not too much thought goes into it from that point of view!
Some tips would be; not to try too hard with your writing; write as you would speak, write what you feel comfortable and honest talking about. Always read what you have written out loud to yourself to make sure you do not confuse the reader. There are loads of brilliant writers out there who all have different ways of expressing themselves (Check out Andra Watkins, Kate Shrewsday, Pretty Feet Miss Poptoe, London Survival, JD Gallagher and Dotty Headbanger in particular as they have brilliant writing styles that cover a plethora of themes and styles). Practice and practice some more – Gfb is predicated upon the concept of life being essentially nonsensical and therefore I write using this very broad outlook.
Keep going! You will find your style and voice. it may take a bit of time but it will be all the more rewardng when you do. Best wishes and good luck
