    Chapter 12

    Hey Krista - since you're going through the chapters, why not fix the problem with the extra, empty lines in the text ? It would make the story much easier to read, and I'd like to read it again (and maybe leave some more comments).
  2. Oh yeah, aarhusianer jokes were the thing when I was young. For some reason, people from Aarhus were supposed to be stupid - or maybe simple-minded. Such as: Why do people from Aarhus walk in the middle of the road ? Because they're scared of the wild flowers along the edges. But today you never hear those jokes, they're old-fashioned and outdated. Just like Molbo- historier.
  3. Aarhusianer (don't know what that is in English)
  4. LOL to the flag sketch - now I have to post this SATW comic: https://satwcomic.com/epic-battle and also https://satwcomic.com/english-flag
  5. Tillykke med fødselsdagen fra Danmark @Marty waves Danish birthday flags and digs out the SATW comic on the topic (read the explanation below the comic )
  6. It's still Sunday morning here in Denmark. And I may have to go make some eggs and bacon for breakfast, now that you're mentioned the B word.

    Endymion

    The butterfly emerging from its husk is such a wonderful image to give Endymion hope.
  8. Hey Gary, Thanks for leaving a comment on my story review. I hope you'll like the series, if you ever have time to read it.
  9. I enjoy role playing games, and I've always liked the fact that Tyler used his knowledge from this to answer Jon's questions.
  10. Just after nine pm in Denmark, I finally had time to drop in. So good evening or good night fits for me.
  11. Someone must have given Magi a good resume of the main characters in the family. I'm glad Brad and Jake are on the same page concerning their relationship. And I'm off to update The List.
  12. I'm happy Daniel is ignoring Don's stupid edict about Nathan, but I wish Robbie would ditch Conner and get back together with Nathan,, who needs some love.
  13. Thank you. To be fair, the harsh evaluation hit so hard because it was quite accurate and focused on weaknesses in my writing, which I was already aware of. It was meant to help me improve, and it was just bad luck the comments came at a time I was vulnerable and caused me to lose heart. They were very sorry for it, so I don't blame them for the result. And it's been so long, I should certainly be able to pull myself together.
  14. I like it when you tell us what you've been doing. It's always sensible and interesting, and very soothing to read. It's also fun to see a lot of the pictures posted here. I just wish everyone would remember it's possible to edit quotes to remove large chunks of text or pictures or video links... (I applaud Marty for sticking his lovely pics in a spoiler box, since this helps.) I know I'm a grumpy guy and I've complained about this numerous times. But for the next month or so, you need not worry about this, since I'll probably not be here much. As always in August work shall keep me very busy. So if there's anything important I should know (like Gary needing his editor), it's best to send me a PM.
  15. I'm glad Brad is getting into a good relationship with Jake, but I hope they decide to be exclusive fairly soon. I think commitment will work for them - and as a bonus Will likes Jake a lot.
  16. For once I agree with JJ: Carullo must be a really good person - since he's able to put up with him. But JJ does have a point about the whole money thing. For once he's doing something nice for somebody else with his money, something Will would approve of, and he is right to be pissed about Carullo's reactions.

    Guests

    I agree - I had tears in my eyes when I read about Turing in the part of the exhibition at Bletchley Park which was devoted to his fate. At least the British government did finally issue a public apology.
  18. Hey Albert, hope your visit to the doctor goes / went well.
  19. that's so awesome. Next fun number will be post no 44444.

    Getting There

    I'm surprised to hear that, but I admit I've not seen that many British guys my age naked. The few I've been up close to where nice and whole.
  21. Well, I finally managed to read the story, and I enjoyed it. I spent several holidays in England as a kid and a a teen in the seventies, and it was quite nostalgic to read about those times. My only objection was the unlikely bit about the boys being circumcised. That would be quite unusual, since they were neither Yanks nor Jewish. Oh, and I can relate to the difficulty of writing dialogue.
  22. It was good to see them ten years on, settled and happy. Having George living with them sounds like a good solution, and Brighton is a nice place for older people.
  23. Yup - I thought so - but I hadn't thought about the Jumbos.
  24. Ah, so that's how Billy knew Andrew's dad. Makes sense. George really is a good person, and his reward is having two sons who love him. Hopefully, he'll live a long time, because they still need a father in their lives. And didn't England win the World Cup in 1966 ? (Now I'll have to check the other comments to see if someone else says the same).
  25. I'm glad Andrew turned out to be a friend, but I can't believe you stuck another snipped boy in there ! So unnatural. But I guess that explains the baby oil thing. I wonder where Billy knows Adrew's father from. It can't be the orphanage, since that was up in the north, and the family has been living in Margate for years, or Andrew would have been new to the school himself.
