    Chapter 22

    Brilliant plan. He's thought this through and hopefully everyone will come out on top (so to speak). Patrick's reaction could be interesting..... Another great chapter with characters developing as the story progresses.

    Buttered Balls

    hmm, yes, the sandwiches, that's what we'll go for...... 😇
  3. wholeheartedly agree. Just started this story and for a first chapter with so many characters/locations/friends/families/back story after 6k words I realised I wasn't reading I was skimming. And while its not all about me (well, not all the time) it annoys me when a story I want to follow makes it difficult! Hopefully I'll calm down and enjoy the rest!

    Buttered Balls

    Families and their attitudes to nudity.... I recall as an 11 year old staying with a friends family at their beach house. all the men were naked and the women wore small micro bikini bottoms. My family weren't prudes, but for an 11 year old me it was an eye opener! As for our hero; good sex, great job, boyfriends family accepting, being able to talk techno-babble as if it means something! what a life! I know he has rationalised the workplace relationships situation, the problem there is if someone decides to cause trouble the spin they can put on such things makes it very bloody difficult for those concerned..... he needs to be careful. thanks for the chapter!

    Settling Dust

    Amazing journey, well written, with amazing understanding of characters going through significant trauma and change. And the end, yes there will always be calls for successful series to go on and on and in US authored series it often happens, but sadly this leads some (but by no means all) series simply dying of ennui. This series ended on a great note, not everything tidied up, but a level of resolution. Very enjoyable. Thanks.
  6. So Jerry's helped 5he family sort out Don, then Jerry's gone home and told his son to stop being a dick.... All we need now is for Jerry to sort the Corbin/Leah issue and he can move on to World Peace! Seriously, Corbin needs to come clean with Leah, if only about his confusion...the only problem there is the deleted text and what Leah saw.... it goes to show that procrastination may be right 80% of the time, but losing control of the timeline and conversation that other 20% of the time can make things really difficult.... Coming out is generally not easy; doing it Corbins way is especially hard.

    Chapter 14

    "Not bad looking, nice body nice arse"; that's not being forward is it!!!!
  8. Yes, very satisfying: while t,he"conversation" with Don was inevitable, the clearing of the air with Troy, and the clarity around his relationship with Leah has improved Corbin's mental health immeasurably. Great chapter.
  9. If Don is the father from hell, then Jerry is the complete opposite. And I am not sure Zoe is as naïve and fragile as her mother would have..... not that a break up of her parents won't affect her; I suspect she will spend more time with Diamond.... I wonder if we find out more about Corbin's biological parent? Billy Saunders - sounds like a nasty back story there.... Great writing. Thanks
  10. Amazing bloody writing. Thanks.

    Chapter 21

    What a train wreck. An incident from which every perspective is right, even when they are contradictory. This is why prescriptive, black/white laws fail. Hopefully Will (with Mr Arbour's able assistance) can steer a way through this minefield laced with icebergs...

    Heaven to Hell

    Corbin is going to need serious help, and I feel the only way that's going to happen is if Gerry speaks to Corbins mum. You really have created one hell of a tortured character. I am sure Corbin will be told that he has to resolved these issues one step at a time however when the "issues" go to the core of who he is, it's going to be a long road. Great read, thanks.

    Pool Party

    I am not sure I have ever come across anyone who has completely opposite musical tastes to me..... Sting and the Police are about the only point even close to overlap!!! looks like JJ has fallen on his feet.... look forward to what comes next (apart from JJ and Shaun, of course!)
  14. I am not sure I have every used the "angry" emoticon before, but Corbins father needs to be taken aside and sorted out. He is despicable lowlife and while I get Corbins mum trying to calm things, all she's actually doing is facilitating. I sincerely hope there's a bit more of a glimmer of hope, and soon!

    Chapter 8

    Sounds like an amazing find! Attaching in to modern "necessities" like water, sewer and electricity will need to be done carefully if he wants not to destroy some of the charm. A great project!

    Driver’s Ed

    JJ's analysis of the electric cars was so teenager-meets-mr-practical! I am confused by his "Ionic's 100 mile range" - I understood the range is just under 400km - so not world breaking, but if my conversion is right that something like 230-ish miles, and if it is going to be a commuter vehicle then that ample.... I am always amazed at people who want 700/800/1000 km range in their electric car because "once two years ago we visited Aunty Marge who lives west of whoop whoop..." even in car centric cities people don't drive that far on a daily basis.... Great read - looking forward to how far our wunder-kid goes!
  17. Corbin takes naieve to new levels!

    A Picture of Me

    Hmm so Corbin doesn't get the vibe... OH! Well, he will soon, I think. Enjoyed the chapter even more because that no hoper of a father was absent. Enjoying the read, thanks.

    Chapter 7

    There's buying a house "sight unseen" and then there's Marco's way of doing it. Bloody stupid way; he literally has no idea.
  20. Toad-in-the-hole is a recipe that a includes sausages in pastry-not individually as a sausage roll, but like whole sausages in a bed of fluffy pastry....
  21. Jerry Winters.... I think this man could be good for Corbin...

    Chapter 55

    "Trouble"? Our hero never gets into trouble! Just occasionally he finds himself in interesting situations, usually involving some one else's hard cock.... other than that he's a magnet for other men's issue(s)🤩

    Arrival

    Ah! Troy: is Diamond going to be the horse that breeches your defences? Or is Corbin going to be your white-armed Helen? Not sure this small town is going to be as dull as Corbin expects.....
  24. Corbin's "contribution" is to be not what his father wants. Not exactly something that's in his control unless he loses his self and becomes all that his Dad wants or expects. That path is the road to complete mental breakdown. Corbins father is an appalling piece of work; utterly selfish. He likes Zoe because she is his idea of a daughter.

    Chapter 55

    Grainger and the Tsar do seem to have formed a somewhat unique bond. Grainger experience outside Russia seems to have been lacking in any/every other of the Tsars advisers. A pattern which continues in Russian History to their detriment. The Chartley/Batu situation is going to require care handling..... the depth of India would seem to be a logical place. Looking forward to another Nelson/Grainger exchange! Thanks for another intriguing instalment.
