just a comment on rounding cape Horn - my father did it 20+ years ago and has photos of what could be of a mill pond! there was a gental long swell, but otherwise not a riplle to be seen. the blokes he was with, who had done that sam journey may times, said while they had seen it calm they had never seen it that calm! I, too, enjoyed my Grainger fix. my beloved says I sleep better when I have had my Grainger fix........ :-)
-
My sleep will be better now that my dear Grainger has returned. I'll even forgve him his second of perhaps undue harshness, just to have him back where he belongs: on my tablet beside my bed!
-
Great beginning to an interesting premise for a story. christine's coming up to marcus may hakve been a little quick, but given her subsequently revealed circs, perhaps justified. Lookingforward to more

Good god! I can honestly say that was all totally unexpected: Will, Tony, girlfriend, Brad, Wade, Will, Tony...... The consequences of this will make Krakatoa seem like a bump in the night!
-
just once, I thought just once you'd give us a great chapter with no sinister overtones, and the that call...... what a bloody great downer! until next time...... many thanks!
-
beautifully written as ever. Stef is certainly a masterfully written character - what transpired was so perfectly in character and yet surprising - and this surely is what good writing is about. Effectively which ever way it went for him re the sale of the company Stef would come out (unusually, methinks) on top. I look forward to the next stage (almost as much as I look forward to my other main squeeze - Granger! :-)

Machiavelli for guidance on being a parent; kinda unexpected! Robbie, however seems to use a completely different manual on raising children, fortunatley he owns the only copy....
-
That he has had the thought that he could have the same or similar affliction as his mother means that he is much closer to any recovery than she has been throughout this entire story. Great story, excellent writing as ever

Circumnavigation (99+46) Now It's Personal
Canuk replied to C James's topic in C James Fan Club's Topics
Reading this on christmas day in australia! Bridget could not possibly get an eviler. I am so much not a believer in capital punishment, but i could honestly make an exception for her; preferably strung out on a beach, naked, to be feasted on by crabs.... slowly! -
To you too, your hard work is much appreciated C

The "typical" australian christmas meal is prawns and crayfish, however my family having done this once or twice have reverted to turkey this year. Always too much of everything. This is the fifth year of my boy being in Oz for christmas. Hes still not happy with the no snow, swimming, tropical thing, but i make sure he enjoys himself :-)
-
Somehow i left that chapter feeling completely manipulated. JJ has become so self centred even by the low standards of most teen prodigy sportspeople. Robbie is just plain weird. And Darius is "involved" in a way i find exceptional. And the "what about madie" seemed like a bolt from the blue. i feel al the pieces have been scattered and i have yet to reconnect them. Perhaps its too many tropical christmas parties!
-
To say the end was unexpected would be one hell of an understatement. Did not see that as even a remote possibility. Well written. Congrats.
-
great to have the two boys back. particularly with bridget that much closer to her comeuppance. sad that bridgets evil influence is spread so far and so wide. julie seemed such a sweet gel..... not looking forward to the end of the series and its completely wacko time sequencing! thanks for the entertainment.

Being best man at the wedding of the dude you're in love with
Canuk replied to RyanWhite's topic in The Lounge
many years ago i had a severe crush on a married straight man, i eventually sort of got over it. then a couple of years after i last saw him, i heard that he had left his wife and come out as a gay man..... bit of a bugger really, in the scheme of things! -
the weird thing is that my partner and I have friends that have almost exactly this relationship. Their friends don't understand them - and I have this inkling that they don't fully understand it, however it works for them and they are exceedingly happy!
-
it's all just going too bloody smoothly - I feel like I am in the movie "Jaws" and that music has just started.......
-
Mr Arbour, you certainly have come up with one hell of a family. i suppose there may be many families like this, just very few with the money to make it to the levels this one does! great writing.
-
I find it amazing and truly interesting that at parties I went to in 2000 girls kissing to turn blokes on did not reach my radar....I wonder why?????
-
I also completely missed this post. In fact the header to the story still gives 30 Oct (in the normal western calendar) as the date of last posting!

best wishes to you all. From here in benign Oz it looks one massive bloody storm.
-
I am relieved that our dear George has bee relieved of the company of Mr Conway. May the ship sail on, happier in his absence. well written as ever - the time off has done you well, Mr Arbour!
-
awesome! I actually liked the very short chapters - punchy but enlightening!
