i pity the poor bastard that is going to break that drought!!!:snork:

if you know all their names its a "-some", if you don't it's an orgy........ nb if there is only two of you and you can't recall either your name or theirs you are simply a drunken slut! Now, Back On Topic: what does Lou mean "I hear you are available"? - will he have heard through the family or from and outsider........ Great ep Mark , There is talent in that misbegotten soul of yours..... the ep was almost as good a Grainger ep......

Mark , I think you treat death much the way it was treated at the time; as an unavoidable consequence of living. It is only since we developed penicillin that death came to be seen as avoidable-until-old-age. In the 18&19th centuries dying of a sore throat ("a putrid sore throat") was common, without antiseptic ANY cut could kill you, let alone amputation, trepanning, splinter removal and so on. So on balance Mark , I think your characters die appropriately and in sufficient numbers that neither overwhelm or ignore the issue...... speaking of which....next chapter..... anytime soon?? (and none of this "Real life" excuse - you have used that one already!!!! )

I agree, and like Mark, not admitting to any personal experience, I think 3somes may be one of those things that improve as time goes on: the longer ago it was, the better it seemed..... also, still not admitting to personal experience, alcohol helps - it blurs some of the inconvenient bits! But back "on topic" (there doesn't seem to be a thingy for "back on topic?"), this last chapter does give me some hope for the two of them - I was starting to despair. I worry that Carson is going to get really nasty when this all blows up - he was probably told that his "reward" in all this was his new lover. He doesn't strike me as terribly smart, so I think we may be in for more tears before there is any resolution......

Boy Toys: How Old Should They Be?
Canuk replied to Mark Arbour's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
I have met way too many 50-year-olds that could only be described as a "work in progress". while i agree in terms of % of age group more late teens/early 20's are "works in progress, than those over 50, but in all sincerity age is only a very aproximate way of assessing maturity and self knowledge...... -
Boy Toys: How Old Should They Be?

interesting that you quote the drinking age - here in Australia the drinking age is 18 (i think it is that in all states - it certanly is in all states I have lived in). ALL that to say that does that mean, methodwriter85, you'd pick'em younger here (f'rinstance, if you just happened to be on Bondi beach, saw an 18yo tanned bloke with a deep tan, in budgie-smugglers, holdin' a tinny and looking at you with the same look on his face that the wolf had when he saw RRH??? -
what a bizarre concept...... for me "life" is what you do when you run out of fantasy.......
-
re your first point: I have to disagree there; the word "doormat" comes to mind! - no basis for a relationship. 2nd point - yes I agree - I think they are more similar than different - the differences are exacerbated by Brad being the narrator. 3rd point - whole-heartedly agree!!

I have a son exactly your age - and I'll have to admit nothing (and I mean NOTHING) made me feel old as when my son said to me in one of his (rare) deep-and-meaningfuls that he thought now that he is "old" he realises "old" is better....... I asked him what that made me - he said "my dad"....... Youth is so wasted on the young - but then it also gives us "oldies" something to lust after!! BTW in response to the poll, I firmly agree in the 1/2 + 7; a body you can keep up with and a mind you can engage = perfection!!! -
While I agree whole-heartedly that there are Tim-like ministers/priests/church-figures, there are an awful lot of the other of the "religious asshole" variety. I, too, like that your Tim is a liberation-theology character. I never understood why the mainsream catholic church didn't take to this stream; of all the ways to attract new accolytes, freeing them from political and/or economic tyranny would seem to have no downside. I would imagine that Tim is going to run up against his church heirachy in a big way - which could cause a crisis for him; making him leave the church and fall into the arms of a waiting man.... and which man do you think will be there waiting??????

I know what Mark M means - Granger chapters may be as long as Millenium, but the Granger chapters are more dense. They do take longer to read.

Would You Follow A Straight Narrator?
Canuk replied to methodwriter85's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
I have no problem with Mark , having a str8 narrator, and the str8 sex is neither here nor there for me (been there done that prefer the alternative), I still would like it to be about the relationships betwen the gay characters. Now no matter how great Mark is, I am not sure a str8 narrator could be belivable or interesting about the gay characters. that is to say the narrators interest in the others would be as relations etc and not in a "gay" sense...... I have a feeling I am not being clear or getting my point across here. Also, all I maybe demonstrating is why I am not an author and Mark , is! :wacko: so I think I'll just leave this discussion tomothers and ahould a str8 narrator turn up be prepared to be impressed, as ever! -
I think that brunette in front needs to be punished for not being appropriatley dressed. (he has a button undone ..... send him to me and i will look after the punishment...... I may even send him back afterwards......

I think you have hit the proverbial nail; re Matt, and it also explains why so many teenagers and 20's consider themselves bi - physically they enjoy sex with all and sundry. as they get older they realise other things make one sex more attractive that the other. Of course, some are attracted by the person and not their sex..... It is interesting to speak of people of JJ's generation (ie my own two sons); "gay" is like "sick", the former has no reference to sexuality the latter no reference to health. Given both my boys went to all-male boarding schools where you'd expect homophobia to be rife, the school made sure it was a non-event. It may be the same for JJ & Will - if so Mark , would have to find some way of juicing their stories up!!

I admit to agreeing with Tiger re labels and Mark re Matt. the "bisexual" label has always confused me. If someone uses it about themself, it gives me a some understanding of where they see themselves, however when it is applied by someone to a third person it tends to tell me more about person applying the label more than the person labeled.
-
I share your concern. And I can imagine that it will be a horrible ending: Carson's going to be revealed for the snake that he is. For all the reasons you mention Brad will find himself in a spot that he is really enjoying physically, emotionally and physcologically. The dark side is that Robbie is neither part of it nor offers anything more other than history and as the children grow that history will become less relevant to his day-to-day........Brad will realises that the priest offers a mature friendship with benefits, an dthat he can get everything else that he wants elsewhere. messy, messy, messy.

My very dearest Mark, , you have excelled yourself!! between the latest Granger (he's really establishing hinmslef a good network in the fleet, isn't he?) and the "other" story, you are bloody marvellous; how does your beloved cope with all these comments which must swell your head...... .. As far as Grainger, I think he may need to get a note back to his wife to "fix" the political mess he is obvioulsy going to create while under Jervis. I look forward to 31.... and I agree re Tiger's image.....

Sorry, just googled "Johnny Weir" and that was one of the images...... as I have no idea who JohnnyWeir is I had to trust the technology..... Is JJ still only 13??? I imagined he was older....... You'll see I have deleted the image....
-
If JJ looks like Johnny and they skate against eachother, won't it look like identical twins on the ice?
-
Image deleted......... I had forgotten JJ is still only 13..... he seems to have been around for longer......
-
I do so love the young - they are SO open to guidance...... dear dear Mark M..... where would be be without you.......
-
yep, carbon copy of every minister I have ever known.....
-
I am sorry I didn't get to see these "racy" images - I am presuming we are not talking about full on penetrative sex involving several people of varying sexes are we? and anything short of that can been seen any and every day in the "straight" media.....

in Australia we have BongBong - and the picnic races there are bloody marvellous! I don't have a basement either; but then neither do 80% of houses in Australia!
