Zombie's Surgical Adventures and Beyond

[IamtheZombie]

There's still plenty of room for posts on the current thread but I'm starting this one now as I may be offline for some time.

I've asked iklboo to keep an eye on my FB timeline and to copy / paste the updates here so they should appear as and when.

Make sure you have your chianti and fava beans ready for the 11th!

We'll done on sending your story Ikl. Is it the same one ?
Glad you have it all Sussed Zombie, and happy that you can keep in touch when your well enough.

No Lin , it's a strict 100 word limit so I've done something else.

Hi Zombie, I've been lurking and occasionally posting through your journey (I've been on MN for nine years under various names!) Anyway big hugs.

I did miss rather a lot of the last year or so, for complicated reasons that I won't even start to go into. When did you stop posting in the third person? Not that it matters, just vaguely intrigued...

Hi zombie, I just lurk on here normally, and wave on FYF thread but alpaca's comment about third person has made me fall over in shock.

zombie not posting in third person and I hadn't noticed!!

btw alpaca, which alpaca are you, there are several around....

To Zombie from DBF team x

Aw that's sooooooo cute Lin!!!

Have you sent your short story into a competition Ikl ?

Phart smone

Anyone else watching the thing about the Beatles?

Making me feel all squishy

I love George Martin.

Phart Smone!
They be good drugs!

Sorry Ikl meant to say bloody well done pushing your writing.

Good luck in the competition sweetheart.

Oh, just seen lin's post now, is the Reader's Digest thing not a competition?

B3 - yes Reader's Digest is the 100 word story competition

I've ALSO written a short story of about 5700 words that Lin has been very kind enough to read for me.

I've not entered the 5700 word story into a competition. But I'll keep an eye out for short story competitions & chance my arm if there are any. Why the flip not, eh?

Why the flip not indeed, you gogogo

If my concentration level wasn't shot to shit I'd love to have read your stuff.
It's just not working at the moment.

Ikl,s longer story is very good, she has a way with words, I do too but not in quite the same way

BBB , yes I have just watched the Beatles and had a good sing along ! Oh my god all those songs take me back to such carefree times.

They were fucking amazing weren't they?

Them and the songs.

Difficult to explain now, it's commonplace for everyone successful since.

What happened to them had never happened to anyone else before.

Well, maybe Elvis.

I'd like thank everyone who has had the kindness NOT to point out that my operation will now take place on Friday the 13th.

Unfortunately I've just realised it for myself.

EEK!

Oh my god Zombie, I didn't even connect the date. I just saw "Friday" I think it's an apt day for a Zombie to have an operation. !

Pshaw. We phalanx ain't triskaidekaphobic! Friday 13th should be scared of us

Thirteenth? Shimirteenth!

You'll get extra time & care from the whole team as so many won't be operated on upon that day.

Probably the best day of the whole month to have the op!

I wanna be a root vegetable. I wanna meet under the clock in front of WH Smiths. I wanna be in London on Saturday, not in the Critical Care Unit.

And we want you there!!

I promise you that the whole assembled gathering will stand & raise their gin to you & we will see you next time!

And I will take a spare root veg & call it Zombie & buy it gin! (And drink it for you)

And you won't envy me come Sunday morning!

Here you are , pick your own veg !

WOT!! No potatoes!!!!!

Can you find me an obscene carrot, Mummy?
