This is about me and my first novel Selfish Jean. I'm trying to increase the audience for a book like mine, and promote discussion about marketing so-called "women's" fiction, when I think it's just about life.

Conversations with strange Men part Five

Well I´ve spoken to lots of strange Spanish men at Vaughan town here´s a random selection of different ones.

1.
Me: Hi. So are you enjoying yourself?

Him: Yes. But I no more speak. My only neurone is full.

---------------------------------------------------------------
2. Each Spanish person had to do a presentation in English.

Me: Have you decided what your presentation will be about?

Him: Safety in Scuba Diving.

Me¨: Interesting. So you want to practise it?

Him: Pliz. You will hear me.

Me: Of course. Do you want me to just listen or correct you as you speak?

Him: Oh correct me pliz.

(He begins is doing great until......)

Him: In Scuba diving it is safer if you have a good body.

Me: A good body?

Him: You need a good body no?

Me: Probably, but do you need a good body?

Him: A goooood boooooody.

(We are both hysterical with laughter by this point)

Me: Oh you mean a good buddy?

Him: A good buddha?

Me: No buddy, buddy.... my accent is from the North.

HIm¨: Ok OK I got it a gooood baddie.

Me: OK that´ll do then.

Every time we passed each other after that he would laugh and say: " Do you think I have a gooood boooody?"

    Brits who hang about the Costas in Spain drinking and ooooh all sorts of hedonistic things I´m really rather jealous of perhaps?
