Silk Scarves & Chomp Bars 2

I've taken all the thoughts on board and we'll give it another go, the feedback to SS & CBs was brilliant and I'm taking all the pms (that I have saved:D) on face value when stating how much you guys want to contribute to the next and last one. I'm ready and willing for pms or emails of your defining moment or moments as a Bee, it's open season and up to you, you've seen that funny, sad and mental can sit together nicely and I'd love as many new contributors as possible. I won't name names but nocoat, DaddyBee, MarkyBee, Ayes B, Berkshire Bee, Smiffy etc etc can make up for missing out on the last one. Get you rthinking caps on please.
Any feedback or ideas are always welcome and this won't be rushed through for Xmas, this book will be ready when it's ready and you chaps will once again define that.
Dave Lane has told me that this will be easier second time around as people have seen the format and that there are no agendas and that is purely Brentford moments written from the heart, we can all do that, we have some edit experts to softly help out so please go for it.
I hope this pleases all of you who asked for it to happen and let the pms begin.:sorted:

Had a 'pm' from "Charles 1st" yesterday asking if there's a chance of putting something into the next "book" :banana: he must have loads of stories to write down!!!

NB, pm charles 1st :sorted:
 

Silk Scarves & Chomp Bars 2

A brave man!!!

Good luck in the second edition (will it become an annual publication?).

I will try and think of something to write but as a pretty boring person I am not sure any of my life is of interest to anyone else.

Good luck.

That is a mouthwatering prospect. Get him NB. You won't regret it. :thetruth:

Seriously Now!! :yes:

What NB (and his little helpers behind the scene) is taking on again is complete madness!!! BUT!! It'll be worth it if all those that 'wished' or 'wanted' or 'dreamed' to have been a part of the SS & CB 1, to get there: stories, tales, memories etc, down onto paper, a keyboard.......... a text even! (if they're that short!) ........... and send them in to Northampton Bee via email or pm and make his life easier and less stressful. I'm sure there are people out there, male, female, young and old, who have a little tale to tell.

Don't be put off this time! JUST DO IT !!! You will not regret it ;)
 

Silk Scarves & Chomp Bars 2

just do the 'juicy' stories..............at least you might get a few lines out of westwing then ;) lollol

That's where you are wrong, I'm not brave and your boringness is not boring to others, I spent far too long telling people this. Write it down and I look forward to receiving it.

Quick note, your entries need a name/user name, how long a bee, location or whatever you feel comfortable with.
It deffo needs a title to be given by you.

I have had a wonderful reply from a willing contributor, I just need to know if he minds me going public just yet!
 

Silk Scarves & Chomp Bars 2

Great news NB and good luck.

You're not wrong fella. He's treated all of our lot to a box at Wembley and his recent visit to the boardroom was to assess him as a potential investor. The bloke's got rich on the sweat and toil of honest, hardworking Brentford fans!

Does anyone know how to get Kettering Bee on ignore over here in the Bahamas? I've managed to get it sorted all across Europe but my morning swim will not be enjoyed knowing that I might have to read him over my rum cocktails.

No rules or guidelines, have you book 1? There was such a mixture in style, length and content. You write what you like, I just hope that you enjoy doing it. Ramble on.

Thats the best part of the book in that there are no rules or guidelines - so easy to pick up have a quick read of a few stories and raise a smile. Also good reading similar accounts of games i went to and then thinking oh yeah?! Also i didnt think there was as much duplication as i hought there may have been? was expecting so many darlo / leeds /posh etc but the 1st book is so varied! get involved!!!

Looking good that an ex forward will give me some time to go through the day when he put 2 past Sunderland.
That would be a nice addition IMO.
