    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hey Albert, hope your visit to the doctor goes / went well.

    Getting There

    Timothy M. commented on Ivor Slipper's story chapter in 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.

    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.

    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.
  13. Timothy M.
    Yup - I thought so - but I hadn't thought about the Jumbos.
  14. Timothy M.
    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).
  15. Timothy M.
    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.
  16. Timothy M.
    I'm pretty sure Andrew won't want to tell anyone why Billy punched him. But let's hope George has a good answer. I bet he's proud of Billy for telling him and asking his advice.
  17. Timothy M.
    Malcolm seems a decent guy, even if he does have naughty pictures of Chris. But I guess we would think differently of him in this day and age.
  18. Timothy M.
    I like that the boys appreciate what George is doing for them. The caning at school brings back memories of reading books where the story takes place in English boarding schools.

    Settling In

    Timothy M. commented on Ivor Slipper's story chapter in Settling In

    George is a good guy and very progressive for his time - we have to remember this was when homosexuality was still illegal in the UK.

    Getting There

    Timothy M. commented on Ivor Slipper's story chapter in Getting There

    I liked the matter of fact tone, but why on earth are two British boys circumcised ?? To me as a European that came across as really strange. Is this because you originally wrote the story for a US audience ?

    Story

    Timothy M. commented on Greg_A's story chapter in Story

    I actually agree with you about Liz in general, as I don't like pushy extrovert people, who don't respect us introverts. But unless she actually jinxed Adam's car, she didn't play matchmaker or set them up. She only encoutaged him to go for the guy he liked anyway, and she kept his secret and didn't tell Gary. So maybe I shpuldn't have given her that much credit for introducing them.

    Story

    Timothy M. commented on Timothy M.'s story chapter in Story

    LOL, you have a point, but in Ken's defense he didn't have that many options, since Colin didn't socialize with colleagues. I suppose he could have started to volunteer at the shelter, but I think that would have been even more awkward and probably more wrong than woeing Colin at work. In Denmark at least, quite a lot of people meet their partner through work, if not at college. PS From you comment here and on another story, I'm guessing you may have witnessed or experienced some bad examples of work place romance. Did you notice Colin had the same opinion at the beginning of the story, but he decided he and Ken were not working so close together, that it mattered.

    Ugh, that pastor is too clever, but at least Robbie has the right attitude about being gay, and Sue even backed him up. I hope Robbie gets back together with Nathan, just to spite Don.
  24. Timothy M.
    Yeah, that part had my heart pounding, when I first read it.
  25. Timothy M.
    And leaving some great comments. I'm not leaving comments, because I've edited several chapters ahead and I'm afraid to make spoilers. I bet you can relate to the old cottage parts , they did make me think of you too - I thought you were already reading the story, or I would have included you too in my plug for the story.
