Arthur James Blimp esq. (writer)

Two questions:

When did A.J. Blimp pass 2,000 comments (he's on 2005)?
and...
Did anyone say anything about it at the time?

like...

Congratulations!!!



Blimp's stories distill the essence of an Englishness of yesteryear for which the word nostalgia might almost have been invented. They include some of the most alluringly elegant and irresistibly dominant women you'll find anywhere in the Library.

He has and always will be one of my favourite authors.

His mastery of capturing the quintessential essence of female domination in Boarding School scenarios is, in my opinion at least, second to none.

I don't know the guy personally, but he has always come across as a true English gent and the fact that he has commented, and therefore tried to help and encourage other authors so often, comes as no surprise at all.

Well done AJB and please, keep battering that keyboard.

Congrats, blimp, on a job well done! (even though I let TEM scoop me on the announcement).

May I add to the accolades. Blimp is the Master to whom all the aficionados of schoolboy spanking should bow the knee. In a series of sketches, he has created an alternative world as real as anything conjured up by Frank Richards with Bunter & Greyfriars or Kipling with Stalky & Co. As for his ladies, I cannot better the description that The English Master (appropriately) has given above.

I always read Blimp's stories in black and white because they seem redolent of the era of the forties and fifties, when svelte actresses like Kay Kendal, Joan Greenwood (with her gorgeous smoky voice) and Barbara Murray appeared in the Ealing films.

Blimp has been feeding us treats for many years now and deserves our thanks.

A great job and well done.

AJB, is one of my favorites, I extend my congrats. He is a terrific writer, thanks always to one of the best, T

Might I add that he exemplifies eloquence? Congrats and thanx, AJB.

Congratulations Mr. AJ Blimp not only on achieving 2000 comments, but also for the quality and (dare I say it?) grace of your work.

That is so very kind of you. Thank you dear commenters for all the encouraging words. Miss Taylor might easily blush (if she actually existed outside of my fevered imagination) after such compliments TEM! Thanks are due to Flopsy, Februs and their team of validators. Is it my imagination or am I starting to sound like an Oscar awards ceremony? (Just wipes away a manly tear!) As I said so very kind!

Such congratulations are well deserved. The skill with which you conjure your characters into life from the cloud of letters is a lesson to us all (though perhaps not so memorably as one delivered by Miss Taylor and her ilk).
