Haha, that was my exact sentiment when I read them!

It's posts like this that make me write.

I love the thought of new readers burrowing through old posts, discovering Jock, The Shadow, Soulless Boss, Scorcher.

Hope you like, mate!

It's been too long!

Here's a new one:

Fucking Amazing Dave

Perfect just got settled on my train home to the country and this pops up. Ace!

I wish my writing was as funny as yours, I can imagine how all the people you tell stories about look and sound

Mission accomplished! I I can give someone a laugh I'm happy.

Luci, not to sound like a sycophant but I do look forward to any new post. I bought the hard copy, it went into my bog room at home and it has since gone missing. I can only assume that it was too vile for mrs_com to stand or that a visitor stole it. Either way, I think it served its purpose and I will order another. Please make it more public when you're next in London town and I will for one be buying you several drinks.

This instalment in particular swung a very much shit day around for me.

wont be getting any boning done after as youre tweet suggested though.

TJ hooker it up bad boy, you make the filth worth reading so much

Not a sycophant, mate. I really appreciate your post! As I said earlier, It's nice to know a story can cheer someone up, give 'em a laugh.
I don't get to London a often as I'd like, but next time I'm around I'll post on this thread.
Cheers mate!

Two of my favourite places!

Bet you like the vuelta then; that's a shit tour.

Invisible Paula sounds great.

Superb!

Dublin had Joyce. Yorkshire gets General Lucifer.

Hope you don't mind that comparison Luci but in my mind, it's a good thing. :)

^ I very nearly typoed 'Yorkshire' as 'Yorkshite' just then.

:-O

Dubliners is one of my top three favourite books.
I struggle with Ulysses as it is beyond me, on a different plain, but year after year I fight for true comprehension.
I now realise that as I read I don't understand, but afterwards I can explain what happened perfectly, so Joyce is a god to me.
Therefore, thank you!

That would have been a baaad typo! I now have an army of Yorkshire lovers who would contest such a statement!

Thanks for reading, matey! Sad I didn't catch you at Tweed Run this year but hope to see you again soon.

I hear you have a snapped bit - heal fast, and if you need any daft fiction to read I have dozens of short stories you might like.

Heal fast!

No Tweed for me this time. Yes, I'm a bit brokenenened atm.

Always game for some fiction. Are your short stories more or less fictional than Reprographics? I've read a couple, iirc, but can't remember which.

I think the key to James Joyce, and indeed Kafka, Beckett, Proust, Pound and many other writers whose work is broadly categorised as modernist (at least, the way I got over my academic anxiety about it) is to read/hear it out loud, with a sense of humour, and fairly quickly - and not get too fixated on the need to understand every detail/layer/reference/word play/metaphor/etc. which would be a bit like trying to comprehend a person's stream of conscious. Some will stick, some will wash over you, some may never make any sense to you, and each reader will interpret it differently. It's all fine. :)

Like Joyce, I find your characters intriguing and revolting, your narratives both grim and uplifting, your writing style highly audible and sensual - or 'graphic' :) - and able to makes one laugh and squirm simultaneously. And all of it alluding to the state of mind of its narrator/author.

I always picture it played out on the stage.
