Popular Post rec Posted August 29, 2020 Popular Post Posted August 29, 2020 Over at AwesomeDude.com, a fine story by Nigel Gordon is beginning today--one I helped edit, by the way, to its end. The ex-wife dumps her gay teen-age son at her ex-husband's doorstep after a long estrangement from him. This starts significant changes in the ex-husband's life involving well-rounded characters. Highly recommended. 7 1
Paqman Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I've been following it. I'm not sure if the narrator is writing a book on metrology, meteorology, or combining both (a book about the science of measuring metrological phenomena). I thought of emailing Nigel , I did a couple of weeks ago as he left a suggested edit in ([ brackets, suggestion), but didn't want to appear as if I'd missed something in a chapter explaining why the book on measurements was about the weather. 2

Site Moderator drpaladin Posted February 25, 2021 Site Moderator Posted February 25, 2021 I've been reading this one as well. It is a good read 2 1
chris191070 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 It's a great read. He's written some fantastic stuff. 1 1
Paqman Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'm trying to guess at which trial Johnny reveals his mother used to pimp him out . The criminal one, as a prosecution witness, but behind closed doors, or the libel case, with more publicity. Either should destroy her career, and possibly get her imprisoned. 2
nickbor34 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Can you link to this book? I can recommend you a well-known book about human friendship and kindness. This is a novel https://samploon.com/free-essays/romeo-and-juliet/ "Romeo and Juliet". I think he can teach us to feel each other correctly. A lonely person is an outcast who needs support.

ancientrichard Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I read the last chapter and the epilogue today. I've enjoyed it very much. It includes one of my favourite characters, Miss Jenkins, and as a bonus mentions a number of towns I know. The story is supposed to be the first of a trilogy, so there should be a lot more to come. Johnny is supposed to receive a medal so royalty may be involved eventually. Edited March 17, 2021 by ancientrichard correction 2
Daddydavek Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I too finished the epilogue at IOMFATS today and have enjoyed the story and its large cast of characters. I've wondered if Johnny gets his medal; if Bernard comes through his bowel surgery for cancer; if Trevor survives; if the rags get their bottom line impacted by a lawsuit and a hundred other questions! So the idea this is the first book in a trilogy is very welcome indeed! 2

We get Arthur's speech in Chapter 60 of book 2. Edited March 18, 2021 by chris191070 2

George Richard Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 And me as well! Book 1 ended with unanswered question. 2
Daddydavek Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 A recap and Chapter 1 of the second book went up yesterday at AD. https://awesomedude.com/nigel_gordon/being-johnny/index.htm 3
George Richard Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 First book was great, and the second looks to be too! 2

I really like the story and the characters and the whole crew at the Priory and the farm. After the first chapter we are still wondering about the fate of Trevor despite him coming through surgery. Johnny seems to have plotted with the gardeners about planting some misdirection with the newspaper people and hopefully that will work out. Still no report on how Ben is actually doing and a million other questions to answer. 2
