Another little book

[joe552]

I've just published a small collection of short stories on Amazon for Kindle. It's called Long Shorts. I hope 1 or 2 of you might buy it - it's pretty cheap, a bit like me, really.

While I'm here, I've entered a short story competition run by RTE Radio (our national broadcaster). If I were to win, I'd get €3,000. I can't imagine where I might go for a fortnight's holiday.

Best of luck with the competition.

What a wonderful name! Out of curiosity I googled the name 'Pat McGroin', to see if anyone on the planet had such a name. There are bucketloads!! Facebook has an extensive list of Pat McGroins!

Now, wouldn't you think that those old enough to understand the long term implications of bearing such a name would seek to change their given name to something less flamboyant? Spare a thought, in the meantime, for Mr. & Mrs. Ritchie and their daughter 'Metitssa'!

The way I heard it The Ritchies were from Glasgow and their son was called Mabawsser.

I don't know if they lived near the Pullar family and their son, Willie
