That wasn't being nasty,I just thought it was telling somebody to chill a bit.You actually remind of somebody who posts on Twitter but not sure who yet.

Antonia, loving your chats with James on Twitter. Feel "connected" to the great man by association!  Did you ride the 1200 yet? I've never been game to tackle something that big! #bitofawuss |

I went out this morning on it.Very lovely,very fast bike.Bit tall for a shorty but its doable.
It is quite nice getting the odd tweet from him I'll admit.He does come in useful for advice him having way more money than me.
I'm still leaning towards another Kawasaki Ninja though.

Have had a look on the web at the BMW. Like the 1200R in classic edition please! |

I'm in agreement with you, antonia. The Kawasaki is beautiful! And I'm not even a fan of motorcycles! ;D |

Exquisitely painful decision Antonia. Think I'd go with the Ninja, now I've had a good look at it. Stunning bike. Friend of a friend just bought one, but in that lime green! Oh dear ;D

Well, he is certainly interested in bikes, you're right there; however, despite all the utter crap other tweets he would have to sort through, he's still seen and replied to quite a few of yours.  |

Antonia and Mr. James May have numerous tweets on bikes, maybe that's the way to get a tweet back?!

Richard has been bored filming waiting for a van to be mended. Amongst his many tweets this afternoon are included
Response to tweet suggesting James and Jezza envy Hammond’s sex appeal
Mostly I think they envy my ability to tie my own shoelaces without groaning.
Response to suggestion that James would have meticulously planned his visit to France (a place he has said is only for passing through)
I've no doubt. Itinerary, clipboard, selection of appropriate hats; everything.
James also continues to amuse. This I think is his best today, cracking hashtag.
Response to lady who seemed quite flirty
What is your request exactly? #BeCarefulNotAsYoungAsIWas

Nice one, MofA!
There's been some general (non-James) tweeting going on with puns around the book title "50 shades Of Grey". This one's just appeared:
"50 Shades of May: a book where a load of middle-aged women nosh off Top Gear stallion James May"

Well Dit, with all the avid interest in '50 Shades', now might be an opportune time to publish your 'Dungeon Tales'  |

Post by dit on Jun 26, 2012 21:56:47 GMT
MofA ( + anyone else interested) if you go to page 15 of the current Naughty Corner, there's a download link (well, actually you've got to copy/paste it) - I've posted the whole thing so far on a filesharing website. You can only access it from that link though.
It wouldn't take much tweaking to make it more generic for publication, but I have no idea how to start that process - anyone have any contacts?

Take a look at the writer's handbook or the writer magazine. Another place I use is the writer's room on the bbc website. It might be useful.

Thanks for that, LB. I'll do some research tomorrow.

They need to lose each other and find each other again. I think that's the dramatic convention, isn't it? This link may be useful www.amazon.co.uk/The-Writers-Artists-Yearbook-2012/sim/1408135809/2 |

I'm afraid that I don't frequent the NC often and haven't actually read the tales. I've only read snippets whilst looking to see if I've missed any pics. It's just that, each to his own, and most of the NC isn't my thing, especially when linked to the man. However, I can appreciate the quality of your writing, it's very polished and professional. I'm sure that it is well worth going for publication. Wouldn't it be great to be the person actually signing the books!

Sorry, my post made it sound as if I was 'pushing' my writing, which wasn't my intention.
Thank you for the compliments.

It finally happened - all three of the boys are tweeting each other at the same time and it's glorious! There are insults, stupid ideas and the realisation that only people who are properly good friends can speak to each other that way.
And Jeremy has mentioned that he's working on the joint project he's doing with James. And then there were more insults.
I'm not going to reproduce it all here. For a start there are words involved that would breach Proboards' terms, and as they're still at it, there's not much point anyway ;D
