    Chapter 11 - Adam

    Just wondered, as I've had a burger there with beetroot, pineapple etc. That type of enormous burger is mentioned in Circumnavigation; it's an Aussie speciality (along with pie floaters).

    Is this before or after the Aussies have been over? Because that burger sounds very Australian.

    I'm a WHAT?

    I know it's 6 years late but is the other one Johnny nor Darren?

    Very well sir, that will be fine. the second half of that sentence to a superior officer ? Sounds suspiciously like insubordination, it's not up to Benning to decide something's fine. Just something that seemed wrong.

    They move to the farm after college. If I remember correctly, Zander had qualified as an architect.

    If only Louis had his shake at hand when he opened the door, Miriam needed a chocolate shampooing.

    I'm trying to remember , but what was the name of the boy who ended up living on (or in, rather) the island in one of your other stories? Wasn't he Tom?

    Have I missed something,what happened to the lost grammar school boys? Are they still wandering around the outback?

    I think their original job was to tunnel under castle walls, fill the tunnel with gunpowder, light the fuse and run like hell.

    Sapper isn't a name, it's a job title. Sappers build bridges, roads etc.

    I've read this before, but where?

    Cairo

    You've got to feel sorry for Morsi, the top of his head is coming loose. " he was human, as his head was showing signs of losing its grip with his head on top." :-)
  13. "have a good meal that doesn’t cost someone or something it’s life. We’re offering a way out.” Only if they become vegetarian vampires :-)

    Any significance to the underlined words ?

    Faggots?

    Oxford Street, along with IKEA, one of the circles of hell Dante forgot. :-)

    Faggots?

    I haven't either and I live in London.

    Faggots?

    I've only seen frozen faggots in shops, never on a menu,it would be a very specialised restaurant to serve them . Being British I know what they are. We burn the other kind (bundles of sticks).

    The Brat

    The boiler's knackered, no central heating and they're replacing it with an immersion heater? That won't run the central heating very well.
  19. Well have you tired apologizing. Tried. are trying to pick at woulds that have barely begun . Wounds. Ruin in the last line should be ruined. Falling fast first onto his bed he . Fast first seems superfluous. Two "for the night"s in the same sentence, the second wasn't needed. Sorry, I seem to be allowing my inner editor out, I'll try to rein it in.
  20. Line 5, conscience not conscious , common mistake,spotted it a few times in stories. Choking up, not chocking up. "He didn’t want to believe that this may be the last time he spoke with him." As this was about his whole family, surely "them" , not "him"?

    70s Culture

    Actually, re the hair, I remember going to Jersey zoo, the one in the English Channel, a New Guinea Pink Pigeon kept trying to give me bits of straw through the glass, I think it thought I had a nest on my head.

    70s Culture

    No dungarees, but had that hair. Spotted a teenager who looked like a '70s escapee on Thursday.
  23. Damn those trigonometry terrorists :-) (autocorrect seems to have changed what the terrorist was spreading, I doubt you actually typed cotangent!)

    Chapter 13

    Oh, your and you're doesn't annoy me, loose instead of lose does though ( therefore I spend too much time gently simmering ).

    Chapter 13

    You're occasionally getting your and you're mixed up, and in his dad's text message in the previous chapter , he seems to describe the in-laws as sandwiches ( they're in bread). Like the story. Conceited,conceded.
