right, so it was a pier on a quayside
-
“Wigan Pier” also means the area, just to add confusion but this is an early 20th century (pre 1920) postcard pic of the legendary “coal tipper” structure as you can see the structure was bigger than the “modern” reconstruction but the site and quayside are essentially the same Still doesn’t clear up which is the best word to use for the damned thing Even the postcard printers weren’t sure, putting the word “Pier” in quotation marks

quay, wharf, pier, jetty - all kinda similar, but different… I guess I’ve never really figured out the differences properly This is George Orwell’s famous Wigan Pier, but I reckon old Georgie boy got it wrong cuz to me it looks like a quay pretty disappointing really This pic’s a tad more interesting with some local lads having a bit of a frolic

Sadly modern reality is that true conversation (that’s physical and face to face) is an increasingly rare communication mode. It got ridiculous in a previous work role when colleagues, sitting just feet apart, were sending each other emails instead of putting down that pie/pizza/doughnut and walking the yard or so to have an actual conversation

Bad Duck - stealing Porky Pig’s chocolates a delicious selection of sumptuous, scrumptious choccies - possibly intended for Mrs Porky Pig (but more likely for Porky to scoff himself…)

…which are “common in the southern and western United States“ but Encyclopaedia Britannica’s T&C don’t actually guarantee they’re not also happily nesting in other parts of the US (including behind your cupboards)

meaning is always about context + intent “that baker’s got great buns” could be just a compliment about his luscious bread rolls 🥖

don’t think that duck’s helping the cook it’s just looking for titbits to steal

yes but those nests are everywhere including behind those cupboards in your kitchen and under your bed

as far as I can see there’s no option on this site (and likely GA and others too) to access multi-chapter stories in a single file (eg pdf) which means each chapter would have to be opened+copied individually then pasted over to a wp file in order to create a single story file “book” - quite tedious and time consuming if you have a lot of favourites, unless there’s a better way?

https://tedlouis.com @Paqman alerted in the CRVBOY thread that the “tedlouis” gay story website is going to disappear soon. The home page contains this message: “While my site will technically go away, some long-time friends of mine have been busy working on an archive of all the stories on my site. The archive will be available to all of my site's readers. I will post more info as I receive it.” It’s good that there seems to be a rescue plan underway by the site’s readers for this particular gay story website, but other websites may not be so lucky eg if the domain holder is elderly, suddenly dies or becomes seriously ill when it may then be too late to launch any rescue plan
