I think I would have to.  Particularly if the foreword was by Lydia.

Good shout. 
Although the proofreading costs on that foreword may make the project unviable. 

Heh

God yes

it needs to be a compendium of their posts edited by I O Hughes obvs 

It needs to refer to taking a knee as well

I can see this developing into a tour. “An evening with...” format. 
 

The follow-up will be “Conversations with Mother”. 

Lydia to do a YouTube explaining the development of it.  With ample flashes of ample cleavage ofc.

Oh good god, I couldn't sit through an evening of it.  It's definitely for dipping in and out of.

I think the best format would be to alternate between them. Instead of giving the first half of the book to Chambers and the second half to Sails. 
 

By alternating, you’re not running the risk of ODing on sailing stories, or anecdotes about the management structures of London-based law firms c.1995-2005. 
 

Ultimately, I’m looking at building the characters behind the people with a view to pitching a buddy movie to Hollywood. That’s where the big bucks are. 

John Goodman as Chambers. 
 

Rick Moranis as Sails?

I think you're looking in the wrong place.  Try Little Britain.

Or Royston Vasey.

That type of casting won’t do it with Hollywood. They’re more comfortable with established names. 

Pooter’s Tales from the Timesheet 

100% yes

i am finding it so hard to sleep at the moment that I need this

You need to get Shooty’s craic about his father-in-law the policeman in there, too. That shit is dynamite.

I would expect one of Sails chapters to be based on me

Steve Tomkinson as Chambo

Is shooty the one who fantasises about carrying a concealed hand gun in public?

I’m not sure it’s a fantasy

Shooty is far too self aware to be in this book, wash your mouth out.

Maybe but he is the progenitor of today’s wooden spoon anecdote, and by a distance 

You clearly haven't read the music thread.  

Or the old skool Friday thread with this gem:

Friday afternoon challenge, yes. Wang did one once where it said draw a cartoon animal.

My daughter drew a brilliant cartoon cat which Wang ignored. She was in tears (only seven or so).That was better than any of those winners, she said.

I said to her don't worry. he's a nasty man.

And it was.

Is that the daughter who is 7ft 2. Or something?

I think so.  She knows her rugby.

Phoebes I’m not sure you did enough to warrant more than a footnote m6.

Or did you?

Should their real identities be revealed in photographs in the middle of the book or should the mystery be maintained?

And it was..... Mrs Vardy.

Adam Sandler to play me in the film please as apparently he bears a passing resemblance.

Definitely need photos of my sailing glory days from the early 2000’s when I was tanned and ripped.

This is a great idea. The book should only be available for sale over the bar at The Drummond and orders placed never actually paid for and honoured. Keep it fully Chambo 'Salt-o-th'Earth-Yorkshire-gone-Surrey' khuntstyle.

Heh. Unlikely. The stuff I post on here is fairly anodyne. If I really went for it I'd be facing a lifetime of lawsuits. Too many people know who I am irl.

Plus I.O.Hughes and charity might sue you for not stumping up on the dog biscuits.

Still an utterly tight-fisted khunt move, Chambo.

If we are going for Hollywood we should remember that chambo is exactly like Jack reacher. So Tom cruise is the obvious choice... 

The wang challenge / crying daughter anecdote above is probably Chambo's best ever! It actually made me smile and was very. very slightly droll. It was about one tenth the length of Shooty's extraordinarily mundane tale of how he once saw (didn't meet) his future father in law before they knew one another.

Shooty still holds this week's prize.

Chambo should take a knee to Shooty this week.
