Dear reader

[Bruno Dante]

I suppose it's only polite to say hello to you all. I'm a big Bukowski fan having read the novels, many of the short stories and a bit of poetry too. I'm more into prose than poetry though, if truth be told. Always looking for new things to read in a similar vein. I've read both the Fante's, Knut Hamsun's 'Hunger', Hemingway and stuff like that. I like a good laugh as well and, being English, I do do irony :p

Bruno Dante in Chump Change.
Great novel.

Welcome.

 

[Lolita Twist]

Welcome, from across the ocean but with a similiar sense of dry humour (I'm assuming. I also use the 'u' out of habit... I learned to spell online and used to have a bunch of English/Irish/Sheep-shagging [Welsh] friends who always used it, etc). Now I can't see well but I see the outline of what I'm thinking is a very beautiful woman in your icon? Is that you? Or do I sound like an idiot because it's someone famous? I can't see well :(

 

[Ambreen]

Welcome here, Bruno Dante :)

(she looks like Monica Belluci)

 

[hoochmonkey9]

if that avatar is a picture of you, I'm leaving my wife. I asked my wife, she said it was ok. she seemed kind of happy.

enjoy the forum.

 

[Bukfan]

Welcome aboard, Bruno!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Welcome Bruno. I think we are nearly up to our quota of English British people.;)
We can't have too much of a good thing.

 

[Bruno Dante]

Thanks people. But I'm male and that is Monica Bellucci. Sorry about that ;)

 

[Mark73]

Welcome, you male! I'm male, too, who else is? :rolleyes:

 

[Bruno Dante]

German humour, eh? ;)

 

[Mark73]

You got it.

 

[Bruno Dante]

I didn't, actually.

 

[Mark73]

Is that a reply in British humour? Because I'm confused if I got it or not.

 

[Bruno Dante]

We're both in the same boat then sailor.

 

[Mark73]

O.K., explaining a joke that didn't work is useless. Nevermind.
Welcome again and have fun around here.

 

[Bruno Dante]

Don't apologise mate, I was just joshing with you anyway. I didn't really get your joke but that's probably more my fault in any case. And your English is excellent, unlike my German so I wouldn't ridicule you in anyway on that score.

 

[Mark73]

Well, thanks. I didn't feel ridiculed, you seem to be a nice person.

 

[Bruno Dante]

:D Cool

 

[LickTheStar]

Welcome.

But I'd be remiss if I didn't inform you that your signature is misspelled. It should read "bon't try" to be correct. Regardless, enjoy your stay!

... It should read "bon't try" to be correct...

Did you know, in Spanish, the word 'vino' (wine) is pronounced 'bino'? (really!)
So maybe he was in Iberia last summer.

It's a reference to his tombstone. I'm saying I won't try. Just a little joke, albeit a shit one ;)

[roni]

[roni]

[strangegirl]

Thanks people. But I'm male and that is Monica Bellucci. Sorry about that ;)

Welcome Bruno. Just a note I am a girl, woman, sheila, bitch, sista, etc ... :D

 

[Billville]

Welcome Bruno. (Wish we had bigger avatars.) Maybe you could ... um ... uh, post a bigger pic??????
