GO! Discover What’s Going On Under The Surface.
July 23rd, 2008 by mike
The Richard & Judy Book Club has a huge effect on book sales in the UK. Yet according to our sources, Richard never reads the books: he just recommends them!
Instead Amanda Ross, the programme’s executive producer reads them together with her team.
So I’ve gone undercover and dug up some similar goings on here at Flowers …
Jim & Emma Wheat, who own & plug GO! Smell the Flowers, have never read it and their posts are written by a ghost writer.
Urban Pagan is far to busy to read Flowers and has set his computer to randomly insert comments from a bank of witty remarks he wrote when he was twelve-years-old.
Aussie Cynic is actually a twenty-one-year old student from Durham University who is basing her project for her degree on creating a virtual character.
Jonathan from Fab Photos has never sold a photo product in his life and instead spends his time as a stuntman for the new Bond film.
There’s more, but my lawyers have got a bit nervous.
What have you discovered that made you see that all was not as it seemed?
great stuff mike
I should be flattered that you took the time to put a post up to have a veiled dig at me.
But I’m not. You are after all a christian and ultimately believe in the wholly unproven nonsense that is the church. So you are not just an intellectual pygmy but an intellectual pygmy who can’t face his own mortality.
and isn’t it the best selling work of fiction the bible which says let him without sin cast the first stone. as ever the god bothering hypocrisy is there for all to see. jesus may well love you mike- but its fair to say everyone else thinks you are a helmet.
Heh heh - you know I’m your number one fan Urban! (Seriously)
But come on we all know know now that you are just a comment date base in Urban’s computer. Want proof flower smellers?
Look at the comment. It appears to be a comment on this post, but actually it’s a pop at Christians which had nothing to do with the post! In fact I’m sure I’ve seen this comment before! It’s all automated I’m telling you
mikes last blog post..O frabjous day!
date base? Data base whoops - look I’m not a computer, I’m human.
Yeah I kinda like you too…EKKKK…did I say that outloud?
Very funny post. I really enjoyed it. I just keep thinking of people are not necessarily who they seem to be. It is rare to find a “real” person. The difference often shows up at home and especially in their driving. It is then that you see a whole different side of them…not necessarily pretty either, but sometimes congruent with the rest of their life.

True - and my old school teacher said you really get to find out what someone is like when they are put under pressure.
mikes last blog post..O frabjous day!
Clinical I would have to say you are 100% correct in seeing who people really are…especially when driving. It always seems to be able to pull from people the exact make-up of who they are, especially if they get cut off
LOL!!! If driving is my gage, I am much less angry than I was before.

Sorry, wrong automatic comment reserved for Tescos.
The thing is, this whole Richard and Judy book club thing is reverse advertising for me.
Why on earth would I want to read a book that is advocated by an alcoholic bra flasher (as if she didn’t know) and a shop lifter?
LOL Lib - on form as ever

actually Lib - I think i prefer your shopping list to Richard and Judy - more interesting……
Purple13s last blog post..Why does no one use the automated self serve tills?
lol!!
yes its true - my identity revealed. Mike obviously spotted me standing in for james Bond…… the clip where roger’s cheeks are wobbling in the centrifuge - that was me! Roger’s false teeth would have fallen out!
Then there’s the bit the fluffy white cat gets kicked - that was my foot in that shot as Sean said cruelty to animals wasn’t in his contract.
Oh and I nearly forgot my most famous scene - its my hand that changes the lotus into a sub - Roger had sprained his wrist on the tennis court earlier. Poor love but that’s how we get our big breaks.
I’m currently on the editing floor for QOS (the new one) - Daniel you see - he’s a bit tetchy about doing his own stunts but I’m reading the final harry potter script (can’t tell you how it ends!) where I might be doubling for Dumbledores (from the back shot - when he’s addressing the school hall)…. I need the break so I hope the job comes off.
P.S Great post Mike - What have i discovered? That Darth Vader is Luke’s father - I mean i never even saw that coming - man oh man….
Any naked stand ins Jonathan?
Actually on second thoughts don’t answer that!

Sorry - contractually bound not to reveal…… (pssst - lets just say I have the body of Brad Pitt)
Purple13s last blog post..Why does no one use the automated self serve tills?
…… and if he knew what i was doing with it - he’d be madder than hell!! (lol)
Purple13s last blog post..Why does no one use the automated self serve tills?
LOL Mike,
Jim & Emma WHO?
Nice post Mike! Hang on, is it really MIke? Oh yeah, Lib, your shopping list sounds interesting… especially the Tenna lady… hmmm… who are they for?
I’m afraid I don’t know the Richard and Judy Club. They don’t look like a couple of book readers though, more like they should be discussing fashion perhaps?
Now if I told you what I have discovered that made me see that all was not as it seemed, I would have to kill you!
don’t look like readers.
oooooh the inverse snobbery at work here!!!
not snobbery… just my opinion!
nice to see you UP
Urban takes it personal again
just interested to know what readers look like? thought it was a shallow judgemental thing to say. and you should never judge a book by its cousin- that alternative therapist in serbia for example was actually a genocidal maniac despite looking like a harmless new age nut-job
Blimey.
Mike I cant believe you blew my cover…
how could you the experiment is ruined
I am going to have to start all over again….
My professors wants your address …
his name is bubba…. lol

Below the surface I have seen to much to pick one thing… people are probably the hardest to comprehend but yep to much to explain here..
Sorry AC - heh perhaps we can meet up now I’ve found out you don’t live in Aussie Land!?
Do we have to call you Durham Cynic now?
Durham Durham Durham Oi Oi Oi !

mikes last blog post..Watch out for The Rippers!

Taylor Blues last blog post..Amber Heard Does Maxim Magazine
Taylor Blue we all know that you have never seen a celeb in your life and instead live in a cave in Iceland where you dive for fish in a skimpy blue swimsuit to supply your local Restaurant to earn a modest living. (I have the photos)
See you Marine Girl.
Crap…how the heck do you do that?? But, I like fishing!! And my skin turns blue after awhile to match my skimpy suit… don’t show the pictures you’ll ruin me…
Okay - send 100 Million in unmarked notes to the usual place
BUT…that is just as much as I have saved up…you will be taking everything from me….
