Betsensus #FootballsBiggestTip

I’ve always had this feeling that the world is not enough and I won’t be happy in life unless I hold hands with a girl who has a golden eye and a gold finger; I beat the living daylights out a guy called Dr No; I get a postcard from my friend who lives in Russia which reads ‘From Russia with love’; I spend some time working for her majesty’s secret service; I play the Thunderball Super Spud lottery; I meet a guy called Moonraker; I finally get a licence to kill, which I applied for months ago; I buy a house with a view to kill for and I get a pet octopus called Octopussy. If only I lived twice and tomorrow never died, maybe then I would get a chance to fulfil my dreams.”

“Have you ever been reading a book and found yourself having to pause for a second and read a certain part again because the author has summed up in a few sentences exactly what you were feeling at a certain point in your life; a feeling you'd never been able to put into words before and there it suddenly is laid out before you, written by someone you've never even met? It's kind of a tragically wonderful feeling.”

Michael, thanks for connecting on Goodreads. Wishing you continued success with your writing. Hope you'll consider adding my new Prohibition-era mystery, The Yankee Club, to your to read list. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Another option is I can buy pre-loved books online from some friends who sell their stuff or I'll just buy new ones at the usual bookstore. :))
Haha, yeah pretty cool though I'm more focused on the video marketing part lately. Well we only have 1 decent used bookstore nearby..so it's either I go there or borrow at the school library but nothing more. :(
Hi Michael, thanks for the friend invite :)
Pleasure to be here. Thanks for adding me, Michael! :)
Hi Michael! Thanks for accepting my friend request. :-)

Salt and vinegar are "arrogant"? Ha ha ha ha! You are really too funny, you know it? Oh wow...hmm. And I had no idea "steak & spinach" chips/crisps existed! Wow, what do THAT taste like? PRAWN? MENTHOL MINTS? SMOKEY BACON? Hee hee. But I guess you had the same reaction to "sour cream & cheddar" as I had to "steak & spinach", huh? Ha ha.
The crisp personalities you came up with are very interesting. Mine are "sour & cheesy"? Awww. They taste so good though! Ha ha. I hope they WILL be in the sequel. I don't need credit; those crisps are "public domain". You would've stumbled upon them anyway at the store. ha ha. I am really hungry now:/
Sorry for the late response! Yep, love a bit of Bret Easton Ellis, but I also see you like Koji Suzuki! In my opinion, the Ring/Spiral/Loop trilogy is one of the best trilogies and the twist..."Hi there! I've just seen your comment for some reason. weird. Ha ha. But listen, I meant it when I said I really REALLY like how creative your book ideas are in regards to the crisps. That's one of the most creative concepts I've seen. I got a good laugh just from the concept! Personally, I like "sour cream & cheddar" so Idk what type of personality those have. Ha ha ha!
(note: I just replied but I guess the comment vanished. Idk. So I'm re-posting this).
" It's about magical crisp packets with personalities determined by their flavouring."Ha ha! I really like this! It's really creative!Hmm....very, very creative...
Thank you for your friendship, Mike. Hey, we both like Bret Easton Ellis! It's a good thing.
Thank you for the friend request! Happy reading and writing! :)
Thanks for the friend request!all the best,
-J.C. H.
Hi, Michael, thanks for the friend invite! Just saw your book and sounds really funny ;DGreetings from Mexico
Hiya Michael! Thank you for the friend request. I see you're not too far from me- I'm in Cheshire ;) lol
All the best,
Sezzy
Hey Michael! Good luck with your writing and thanks for your friendship :)
Hi Michael, thank you for the friend request! (=
Hi Michael: green slopes only for me as well: once went on a blue and nearly managed to kill myself. And Dante's Peak is highly underrated!
Thanks for adding me, Michael! Nice to meet you! Yeap, Gandalf would be a perfect choice for a world Leader. He did unite the Middle-Earth, so why not just plain Earth too?? LOL!
Thanks so much for the add, Michael. Have a most fabulous day!KaSonndra
Hi Michael, Thank you for adding me. :)
