I was writing my flash fiction response to Al’s photo when my mate Tackas walked in.
Hey now Clancy, what the feck you be doin’ now?
I’m writing a story to this photo.
That’s a photo you say. Looks more like a mistake.
No it’s a photo from a very good photographer.
You don’t say say an what would the fecks name be then?
Al.
Al?
Al’s a good man.
Well I’ll be takin’ your word for it then. Are ya sure all this writtin’s good for ya now?
Of course it is, it’s an intellectual exercise.
Ah, now that’s ya trouble you see. A feckin intellectual you think you are, what the feck. Most days Clancy yur a feckin idgit is what cha are.
Shut up I have a word count to adhere too.
How many?
150 – 200.
How many of the fecks you got now?
148.
What happens if ya go the feck over?
Terrible things.
Terrible things, like death ya mean?
Quite possibly.
Do you want me to go round and sort him out for ya?
He lives in Scotland.
A feckin’ Scot?
Yes, though he worries more about maximums than minimums.
How many words now?
200.
Feck. Oops!
Morpethroad 
HAHAHAHA I love that 😀
It’s really funny. BTW – only half Scot, which means they don’t let me live there 😉
Drats Al, oh well, actually I have a scottish grandfather so I’m a bit of a Scot too. Thanks glad you saw the humour in it.
It’s brilliant. I also really liked the comment on maximum/minimum word counts 😀
Yeah well that was my intention, I wanted to have them argue over the count as to whether or not numbers as such, like 1,2,2, 4…counted as words but the word count beat me…could have been fun, Tackas is a character who is a lot of fun to play with.
He certainly seems to be 🙂 I’ve started following your blog now so I look forward to more of his encounters
Thanks Al, he has had a few already.
Yeah, I saw that in the “related” at the bottom. Getting ready to hang up the blogging for the night, so will look tomorrow 🙂
This is very good and creative.
Thanks Anja, bit of an in-joke but I couldn’t resist
I took out AnElephant today….all things can be done. lol
So I saw and with style…lol
Well….I do kill kindly…and nicely
As I would have thought, in the nicest possible way.
This made me grin, the comments on the photo and the word count and of course Tackers – made up for a humorous read my friend. 🙂
Thanks Jenny, he’s a bit of a lad is our Tackas.
that he is 😉
hmm Tackas…lol
Ha! Love the dialogue and the arguing. Great work!
Thanks Jeremy, I appreciate your comment.
LOLOLOL!!! Classic!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Helen, gotta a love an Irish wit haven’t you.
lol….nice way to greet a morning with a Tackas’ laugh…
Thanks Georgia, happy he was able to give you a laugh.
Love that lad!
He may well appear from time to time.
He’s a winner, I should hope so.
