Pop up books and get a literary tattoo.

The tattoo is part of the next challenge? Or a pop up tattoo?

To give you some inspiration for a tattoo:

Pop-up tattoo? Sounds like you are being rude. :0

I have an idea of the tattoo, it is based on my favourite poem.

Going to be expensive, so all depends on how much I can save this year.

My thoughts too. Jason. Lucky boy if you can have it tattooed there, painful but you are boasting!

This sounds like a challenge I want to read about!! Impressive target you're setting yourself there.

I also want to get a tattoo next year which is loosely based around a book.

I have read a lot of books this year by indie authors self publishing their books, the best books I've read have been amongst them so I plan to read more like that.

I also plan to read more Harumi Murakami too.

I also set myself one epic novel to read a year, this years book is Infinite Jest.

I also plan to read the second book in Iain Banks culture series.

I hope I can fit all of these into Paul's next challenge.

Any Murakami novels in mind Jason?

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World will be the first one.

I've not read that one, but it's on my list.

Yay finished Infinite Jest this morning, that's my big book of the year done.

Well done!

Cheers Paul, celebrating with trawling through harry potter 3 next. :)

Are you converted?

nope. reading it as part of a massive reading challenge.

Did you get a tattoo yet?

Nope. :-( no money this year, my wife worked for BHS and that was a disaster, she got a job at superdrug with fewer hours, but that has been a horrible place to work. She has just got a job at Dunelm, starting on the 24th, so far it seems much better, more hours, more money, so looks like the Tattoo saving can start next year. yay!

Was also wanting to buy a bike this year, saved £0 for that. haha

Hope all improves Jason. I hate tattoos anyway.

Thanks Pat, hopefully she'll get settled down now, working in the fitted curtains department.

The tattoos go well with my beard Pat

Motorbike or pushbike?

Or a Vespa? those are cool

A pushbike. I'm after a Pashley Parabike, have been for ages. The bikes also have an amazing history, cos paratroopers in WW2 jumped out of planes with them.

I hope it's not one of those hipster beards. Looks weird on the young, but the young can get away with anything so that's okay. Older peeps. Looks sad. Not that I'm suggesting you aren't young btw. Young in this context means teen or early 20s. I'm sure you are in spirit Jason but with children I hope you are a tad older.

I'm on middle ground age wise and beard wise I am at young Viking level.

fine. Must have a tattoo then...

Young viking = aged aunt with respect to beards

That's what Hipster looks like to me. There again I'm old
