stories about dining tables

Liana's done one called Kitchen Table. Very good, only the @$$%ing editors didn't cherry it. (Oh, hang on, I can't make that sort of complaint any more. ) It is very good. Nice line about stew in there. Andy, why are these themes never about the stuff I write about ?

Oooh No Andrew, that ones crappy....I never finished it.... I'll go back and do some work on it though.....

That's why I didn't cherry it, because I knew you were going to polish it up (no pun intended). Work poet-girl, work. *Andrew attempts to break Fish's poet-strike and turn Liana into salutory example* Andy, this is a bit daft, but if you go into Story Search here at abctales, you can search against any word in the story - so you could look for stuff about Kitchens or Tables.

*hands apple to Andrew*

*walks by holding blank placard and saying nothing*

*dons cravat and sets up podium*

*walks by in other direction looking Very Stately*

*glances nervously at Fish* Um...how short is short, Andy?

This one is about a coffee table rather than a dining table Andy, but it is bloody marvellous. "Nails" by Brothers_grimmer. Actually, thanks for posing the question, because I found this gem by looking. I've had a story in mind about a Sunday dinner for some time, maybe I'll finally get it down on paper (or screen)

As I haven't had any response to my 24/10/01 I have loaded a possible story on my authors section as one of my Family Stories. Is this where you wanted the contributions?

john i reckon the best thing you can do is email your piece to andy as i know he is very very busy at the min and probably not checking the boards very often ... cheers! ivory
