CrockPow

  1. @CrockWit Being born again isn't easy but the bookseller formerly known as CrockPow is back. With less bookshops and more time to read...
  2. Rather like humpty dumpty I've fallen to pieces but I think I'm mostly reconstructed now in my new house by the sea...
  3. Give me an hour or two (or a day or two?) and I'll let you know where etc...until then thanks for all the messages of support - LOVE U ALL!!
  4. I am going to quit Tweeting here and blogging over there (you know where!) but I will carry on, like a bad disco in an essex barn...
  5. The phrase "goodbye 20th century" just keeps on chugging around in my brain...
  6. @bagelmouse yeah we can talk...maybe you'll get the true story...(includes some really juicy stuff!)
  7. The Bookseller on the phone...will be interesting to read the "true story" of our demise over the coming weeks and days. Ah well.
  8. "Jaffa cake anyone?" Now that's what I call customer service...
  9. A hex will be placed on all our adversaries just as soon as I can work out how to write backwards and pluck up the courage to kill a chicken
  10. The bad news is C & P is pretty much completely shafted...Thanks for all the messages of support etc. We love you too.
  11. I'm back...moaning like anything and generally failing to be heroic but the good news is there's been no oozing...My intestines are back!
  12. http://twitpic.com/c0hxx - Stocking Hell!
  13. http://twitpic.com/c0hwe - My hand being pumped full of Michael Jackson's bedtime juice...
  14. "Do you have any books on dragons? Or crime?" Hmmmm...
  15. The python tried to swallow the alligator whole and then exploded - blimey! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4313978.stm
  16. Just found out Dave the Lower Marsh sweeper died of cancer. Great bloke, Arsenal fanatic - RIP mate.
  17. @bagelmouse thanks...
  18. @bagelmouse Oh Ms Mouse! Confined to the house? Get well soon...
  19. 33% ignoring that banging in my head, 12% nervous about hospital, 25% excited by anesthetic possibilities, 30% buying stuff from ebay...
  20. I get sliced open next week - am hoping to be knocked out by the same drugs Michael Jackson used to get to sleep...celeb whore? Moi?
