    Yes, the Wimpy didn't last long once Ronald arrived. In the same way as British soft drinks sunk under the onslaught of Coke & Pepsi.

  7. Blowing Me, Blowing You. I saw him on the first morning that I walked to the station to catch my train to Waterloo. We'd just moved from the more inner suburbs of London to a village in Kent. By 'we' I mean my parents and I. I was just over eighteen and had been working with an insurance company in the City for the past year or so.

    @Timothy M. I'm sure from an earlier chapter, that Lex has had a lot of experience of sleeping on his stomach.

    Chapter 1

  12. Nurse Wretched more like. Listen to Cynthia, Tyson!

    Chapter 8

    OK? That was way up at the top of the Richter Scale!!

    Cruel author! But you can be sure your readers will be waiting to pounce when the next chapter arrives.

    Part 2

  21. I guess as Snuggles hasn't appeared yet, I can't really say it was a 'purrfect' start.
  22. Not just different, but totally so.....

    At least they had something to do

    Chapter 1

    Always interesting to know. I post in the same way as Geron in that I use Blue Griffon to convert a story into Html and then post as Html. As for reading, like Paladin I use Chrome & Windows and never have any problems with any stories on here.

    Chapter 1
