Can Stuart drop dead on the gym, please ? Unlike @droughtquake I can do without the drama he can create, and the potential damage to Geoff's vulnerable ne confidence in his relationship. Helen and Geoff dissecting the concert made me laugh - but how could Geoff let his phone die ? What if his mother tries to call him ? Or is this a sign of him cutting her loose ?

I'm glad Rory has a nice time at Rory's place and has come to appreciate him as a good friend. I can't understand why he doesn't tell Rory's parents about his bigoted stepparents or simply pretends that he has. It would be a great way to exert pressure on Don and Sue. He could casually mention at the dinner table how Rory is a great friend, and his parents have said Robbie can visit any time. Then add: "But of course I had to tell them you probably won't let me, because you're convinced Rory is gay, even if he isn't, and you're quite homophobic and trying to force me into conversion therapy." I'd love to see their reaction. I'm particularly glad Robbie gave Sue a piece of his mind. I'm not going to worry about Alex, Nathan, Conner or any of the possible drama. The important fight is the adult and i wish Robbie would sit down with Nicola and plan a campaign. I bet she would love to come up with suggestions like the one above. It would let her rebel against her parents while keeping the spotlight on Robbie.

Come on, Nico's only been in the house for two days. You can't really expect D to roll over like a dog and go all soppy. And how did refusing to spar with Nico become a brush off? Maybe D doesn't want to risk them hurting each other, or he doesn't want to be reminded of the time he used the sword to kill the enemy who poisoned him. Give him a chance to get used to his mate being with him, I bet he still thinks he's dreaming. But of course I'm all for Nico flaunting himself in sexy outfits.

I think it's better for Daniel not to go through all the thing which would result from telling the police about Loz. But there should be a deal about Loz having to come out to his family, who should be made aware what their homophobia has caused, and staying with his therapeut for a long time.

Your First Line Prompts have certainly inspired me.

Yeah, I can totally understand why he lets her bulldoze over his life. If she'd been a caring mother it would have made a lot if sense.

If he didn't have his PIN code with his card, how could they empty his account ? In Denmark, I think he would get his money back either from the bank or insurance, maybe minus a small amount. Also, he'd not be able to leave his flat without giving notice - and the deposit he paid when moving in would cover the rent for the next three months. I can understand him not being able to think clearly just then, but hopefully he can reverse the stupid decisions by his mum when he's ready to leave the hospital.

Unusual First Line prompt. Especially with 2nd person POV. God Bedring fra Danmark (= get better soon)

how could I forget rabbits. They're a pest here too, but not as bad as in Australia. Yeah, I know what you mean, Gary. Horses are introduced in North America too, but no one considers them a pest. And they're not as bad as the really invasive species.

I hope Aron got caught and put into prison for assault and hate crime. Since this is UK, I have faith in the authorities taking the case seriously.

I saw the picture, not nice. On the other hand, horses are not native to Australia, same as pigs, toads and loads of other introduced and invasive animals. If their numbers get decimated due to heat and drought, it might be good for native species who are more adapted to extremes ?

Don't they have a concept of (benevolent) ghosts ? Much easier to believe than people coming back from the dead.

I'm glad he manged to tell Lewis and Stephen, but now they have to face a difficult decision on how to proceed.

You did mention it in the chapter, but I wasn't sure the restriction would be enough in today's global social media world. All it takes is one of Mason's friends knowing someone who knows someone who is gay and into Australian Rules football. A chance remark would spread like wildfire on social media and quickly be caught up by the regular media. If Jose can overhear their discussion, so can others in the bar, and some of those would definitely be interested in the combination of football, gay and Leopards.

Hmm, does this mean I'll have to avoid speculating ? Or perhaps use spoiler boxes, so you don't see my guesses before you've written the last chapters ? Andrew was really stressed - I laughed at his request for Ben's dad to lower his tone. Would it help if he growled in bass rather than tenor ? José must be very handsome. He had a girl inviting him to have sex right after meeting him, and now he gets hit on by a number of guys. Shame he's ugly on the inside. Is Ben really OK with Mason letting all his friends know about their relationships ? Jerry, Dexter, Kevin, who else can see his Instagram account - do they all know about Ben's fear of his father ? It wouldn't take much to slip up and for someone to overhear and tip off the media about another gay player having joined the Leopards. I wonder why Dexter was worried about the idea of Deon being in the parade. No one will be able to harass him with questions as long as they march and afterwards he'll be with Clarissa and all the others.

I guess Shaun hadn't learnt the meaning of one night stand or that clinging scares people off. I hope he didn't keep trying to get a boyfriend via app.

I hope Kieran keeps the opal on, and that Rhys touches him while they sleep, to keep the bad guys away.

Let's hope all the practice will make them too strong to be influenced again.

Parents can do such bad things to their children without even realizing.

I'm very pleased Jerry told Brandon and Zack exactly why he's uncomfortable around Brandon and the price he's paid. Hopefully, they'll leave him alone, or Zack will stop inviting Brandon around, when he wants to spend time with Jerry. I'd be very surprised if Brandon isn't the friend who came out, but he would have a lot to make up for if he wants to be friends or more with Jerry. After all, Brandon has been comfortably in the closet and when he decided to come out his friends didn't abandon him.

And the gallery feature has gone missing again. Weird

Tillykke, Gary. Do we get to see a picture of the new dog ?

I guess it's tomorrow here, so Tillykke med fødselsdagen fra Danmark. I'm glad Nestor grew up enough to admit his wrongs and that he has a mate who confident and calm in spite of his size. Avion seemed to benefit from the example.

it looks fake...

I'm glad Eric has taken this important step. He seems like someone who is careful about his money, but hopefully he'll spend hours enjoying himself with garden and gay sites so he feels he's gotten value for money. It will help with both boredom and loneliness.
