  1. Take v good care of yourself. I tested positive for COVID yesterday. My partner has been v poorly with it for 5 days. Check out your symptoms. Sending a COVID-safe 🤗
  2. Ah, the gay bars of Brighton……. 😋

    Great imagination/prediction. @CincyKris get writing, we need your stories. 🤗

    Grandmother

    Gosh, I grew up in Maidstone- slightly nerve wracking to read this in one of Lomax’s stories…. Will my childhood memories be ruined? Another excellent chp.
  5. Exactly! I was once smuggled on to a USAF nuclear bomber base near Oxford ... perhaps I should tell the tale one day.. 😃 Sadly, the story I was writing for today is on hold. COVID has struck. P is rather poorly; I’m awaiting my turn….
  6. I note 11 wasn’t rejected out of hand by Cia…..

    Nurse Whore

    Yep, me too. An Anglo- Irishman who isn’t a beer drinker…. Am I a freak? (A rhetorical question, no answer required!)

    Nurse Whore

    You are the BEST! Thank you 🙏
  9. Wow 😮 A bit different from the Essex lads!
  10. I only buy corn-fed, free-range chicken. The problem is it’s about x3 the price of the awful white stuff that most supermarkets sell. Yrs ago a school friend studying agriculture at university had to visit a battery farm. Turned out that the poor creatures were fed fish-based feed until last couple of weeks. Need I say more. Yes, I believe those of us who can afford it should always buy the free range etc. option because that is the only way the price will go down for those less fortunate. apologies if I have offended anyone.

    Chapter 2

    Powerful stuff. V moving.
  12. There should be a yummy 😋 option to click on! We had a wild mushroom and seafood risotto for lunch. Mr “I never give compliments”, was actually v happy with my 2 hours slaving in the kitchen…..
  13. You too! Here yesterday I had to drive through a flash storm and incredible rain… in the middle of the city (Valencia, Spain). Temperature dropped 13°C in 40 min. Today ironing mission. Do two guys really need 60 polo shirts? All designer labels? We could have gone around the world for that money… if they weren’t from outlets 😛. tomorrow, its mission impossible, finish my prompt story that is driving me mad in my head. Watch this space tomorrow! Have a great week everyone. Gary x

    Chapter 22

    I’ve worked in an incoming call centre for a major US investment fund and the word ruthless certainly applied. But when a friend added a zero to a deal selling 12.5 million dollars instead of $1.5m, it was the call center director who was escorted out and not the dealer. Top dog’s view: anyone can make a typo error, where was the security against such errors going through.

    Chapter 21

    Having read a few of the critic’s acidic comments elsewhere, my advice is to ignore his comments. Trying to explain how these guys have got themselves in this awful mess was always going to be a tough call. I, for one, am v happy (although sad) reading this fourth story.

    Chapter 17

    He sure should be feeling guilty as shit but I fear he doesn’t have that emotion in his make up.

    Forgiveness

    Wow, I didn’t know Will was becoming a lawyer?

    Prologue

    A powerful start. New territory for me as I start the fourth volume. Great stuff!
  19. Yep, all is looking good after the scare with Venetia… Can we relax, I wonder 💭

    Forgiveness

    Yep I’m on the edge of my seat… is that what @PrivateTim meant? 😜

    Hospital

    Love it, love it, love it. Thank you @lomax61, you never disappoint!

    Chapter 1

    Yes, I had read that English isn’t your first language but your comment of it is such that it is hard to believe. Impressive stuff!

    Chapter 1

    Try that world in Spain where “marketing experts” insist that adding a word in English is better marketing. Thus we had the delights in my educational partnerships of “las schools”, pronounced “eschools” as in España, “las Nights” etc etc.

    Chapter 1

    Totally agree. I’m hooked. Also, any writer who knows their countable/non countable adjectives gets a bonus in my view: Three words or fewer. how many would have put “less”?
  25. Thanks @Valkyrie, I was about to write to the Penguin Protection Agency (PPA).
