Doubt if he would mind B.G. All publicity is good.

Yes, foolishly she turned her back on tripe.
She ended up going to the awards draped in her old beef curtains.
If you asked me she looked awful.
A real dog's dinner.

Very clever. Sold many books yet?

Well one to me last night, and Wynonie makes it at least two.
As said earlier, I know people who are paid a fortune, who'd kill for a fraction of the press coverage this campaign has received.
Brilliant.
Though being the nosey sort, and knowing more than my fair share of nobs, a quick search on the supposed Chairman of the Tripe Marketing Board, the unheard of Sir Norman Wrassle, soon paid out dividends.
In seconds, actually.

Yes -it's a wonder the press don't do a bit more digging before they print their articles, garinda. And as for being rumbled, Boeing Guy, I'm afraid a gentleman in Germany got there before you and there's not a lot to rumble.
The Tripe Marketing Board is doing a fantastic job promoting tripe. I am sure there are many industries who would love to have a so-called imaginary marketing board that could double sales in a week!

Re: The Men In White
Well I smelled a rat right from the first posts on Thurs/Fri. But it's still a good campaign.

Am obviously one of those born with wool over the eyes like Davemac, Sue!
Wish you well with your book, Derek - have a few of ,(possibly), an ex-colleague of yours, Benita Moore who was a friend of my parents.
You obviously have a particular sense of humour -look forward to seeing it. x

You might be the nutter I bought it for.
(I knew Benita too...more to talk about. I have some funny, not for a public forum tales we can share.)

Wool?
Smelling rats?
Pah!
I pride myself on being the first person on here to actually post...
'Look!'
'A rat, wearing a wooly bonnet that's too big for it, carrying a Tripe Marketing Board clip-board.'

“Hot tripe for cold days. Tripe and cow heels are delicious served hot! Easy on the purse!”
Lol!!xx

Re: The Men In White
I studied to be a librarian at UMIST for a year with Benita back in the early 60's - there was never a dull moment!

Same family susie, just that rats get a bad press, they'll have to employ the Tripe Marketing Board to do their publicity
