Great chapter. The boys banter was really well written and very believable. Thanks

"Hopefully"? Why any sense of doubt? He has never failed in the past!😆

! A ruined classical Roman compound in FNQ. Hmmmmm. I love the idea of a gated community...i just wouldn't want anyone else there. And I do like how Mort finds people who like working naked. Intriguing...i have a sense of disquiet about this chapter...not all is as it should be.

Very happy for gripping.... installments 😊😋😍 As for pruning fig trees.... nope, recalcitrant or otherwise, if the fig wants to it will, if it doesnt, it won't... with peach or citrus leaving the axe against the tree, tells it who is boss and that there are consequences, figs are like cats, they don't give a fig... As for following Mort, I just do it to see what sexy bastard he picks up next😗😇

Archibald Lintel...what a name! He does need to wise up on how to get out of a disasterous marriage. Cunning lawyer, cunning financial adviser, cunning PI; collectively they could get him out at small financial cost. Of course, there is the alternative, wait for Mort, plan the funeral. Arch seems a nice bloke if easily led. He needs Mort to keep him on the gay and narrow, I'd suggest... Great story to read as I drink my Saturday daiquiri..😆

No, a cliffy is a cliffy is a cliffy. There are no "grades" of cliffy!

Communication...says it all!😆 Interesting that as far as i recall Massimo is the first well hung "good guy" in this story! I liked the way you described the women's reaction to the mens nudity; shock, then amusement, then recognition and partial aceptance. Of course this progress towards enlightenment was then shot down by that stupid girl who said how she couldn't wait to get to school and tell everyone about the cocks and balls she'd seen and how big Massimo is. If the boys did the reverse (run commentary on the girls less than perfect features) they would be upbraided for being sexist pigs. So sadly the exercise and lesson in toleration didnt actually sink in very far. Despresssingly like "real life". Thanks. As ever a great read.

The pleasure is all mine! Thank you.

BLISS! Oh! To have an evening with Grainger on the high seas! You made my evening absolutely perfect Mr Arbour . Our hero is in command, his realtionship with his wife and Cavendish has been restored, he has had a few weeks of blissful sex: the world is as it shoulld be. We are happy😍 Thank you for the pure and unadulterated pleasure.

You make me smile. You are a true revolutionary; send out the message, when everyone agrees and thinks it was all their own, some one turns looking for the person to blame/credit and there you are, smiling innocently, "what me? 😇". Really great story. Having a great time😍😃😄!

It is amazing how Karma strikes so accurately. I sincerely hope Karma's instrument had the wit and wherewithall to make them self/ves untraceable and all relevant people have cast iron alibis Dennis sem to be a classic case of a child that has been encouranged not to communicate anything at any time. Very sad and a lesson that takes so long to get over. His mothers religion in this case seems to have been a major problem. And people wonder why others hate organised religion so much. Great read. Thanks.

not good... Eric needs one of those alarms. have to hope Andy is there in time.

Well I can see that sermon on human relations going down well at St Pats, St Pauls or St Mary's (the only cathedrals I can think lf at present!)! Would certainly change the path of organised religion. They may even get a few parishioners under the age of 60! Very entertaining, I like the way you entice us readers into your world view! Its certainly an interesting world😊

For "pearls of tajikistan": definitely!😆

Well, apart from needing a towel to soak up the sarcasm re organised religion dripping from my computer, very enjoyable chapter! Hale is one impressive bloke! Interesting the description of his act and why he shaves; i once saw a piece of Greek theatre where all the actors were naked, they too had shaved and acquired a mild all-over tan and it is true once you initially saw the 15 or so naked men with masks, you ceased seeing them as "naked men" but as the characters. Thanks. good story! Sorry forgot to add - "Pearl of Tajikistan"? very unique....

i was trying to keep the politics subtle

well I suppose better than my initial thought...they are hiding out at 725 5th Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA.....

Beautiful "recovery" chapter, with a bloody awful cliffy.... how about a hint? Please?🤔😍

Your ability to write seemingly effortless banter that is entertaining and enlightening is magical! While i was extremely concerned at Mort's uncharacteristic surrendering of control by getting into the car, it seems once again he has landed on his feet. Hales house sounds wonderful; there is something about a place with books and comfortable (rather than showy) furniture that does say true civilisation. Imagining the two very flexible athletes in bed..... 《grin》 Thanks!

Point of confusion; if Olek is King then Peter is (currently) the heir to throne, not second in line? Or have i missed something.

Yes, one hell of an exhausting chapter. Our Mort does have a hell of a time catching a break, any break, anywhere, any time.... And rather than hitching, couldnt he use some of his hard earned money and spend 300 to 400 on an airfare? He may even meet a cute steward. ...?. But he won't, will he? Just not in our heros make-up.... 😆

Families; can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

It is sad that "assisted suicide" is not yet quite legal in Australia. It is here in Canada. I know it is done regularly in Australia, but it needs the cooperation of a friendly doctor. It releases people from so much unnecessary pain and suffering. Once again religion managed to create an unhappy familly. Fancing denying yourself a very natural part of the human condition as sexual relations because someone said your god put conditions on it. That is pure cruelty. I hope Morts contact in FNQ proves usual, kind and accepting. Not sure yet where in FNQ he's heading but to me Cairns and Port Douglas are pretty close to heaven! They have a great and fun gay community! A very bitter sweet chapter; sadness of illness, the regret of a life not lived because of "others" opinions, the hope of new life, the celebration of a close friendship, and the pleasure in bringing Karma to a wrong. Thanks

So karma strikes again... almost literally. Perdita will be no loss...that she had accumulated $300k implied she had some idea, but this to me makes her life even more of a waste... Morts exotic dancing seems to pay well... 1300 a week for four nights work...if i was 45 years younger.... 🤓 Mort seems to have a plan, he's also growing up mentally. Coping with his friends cancer, not immediately moving back, sorting his mums place and his own inheritance. All good signs our boy will make it.....

Great chapter. Richard has got issues. And this is not about gay/straight, its about who he wants to be with. That the two choices are different sexes is just a fact. But he needs to choose a partner, then make it work. Otherwise he will be just your typical thrice married, hookers on the side, sad bastard who takes it out on everyone else.🙃 I get the feeling Jimmy and Drake will muddle their way through. Wont be smooth, but they'll do it.
