More than acceptable! As @drsawzall said, a delightful chapter. Enjoy the sun @Robert Hugill and uk residents. For fans of “My Fair Lady”, the rain in Spain is indeed staying on the plain. Exactly where I am on holiday 😱Snow tomorrow……

For fellow mega fans of Lord B, I am only an hour from the ducal palace of Medinaceli and, weather permitting, will be visiting the home of two v close friends of Granger, as he then was. @Mark Arbour should be proud of my dedication and reward me, perhaps, with a new chp in Paris. 😜 ps Gosh it’s bloody cold here in central Spain ❄️

My sister lives in a road called “Blackstitch Lane”. Sadly it’s an executive housing estate’s attempt to invoke the countryside in the heart of suburbia…. rather than those traversed by our hero. -

Congrats to @Robert Hugill, especially for the wonderfully authentic feel of the chat between the two lads, down to scuffing of the shoe. Such good writing. ”Anyroads”, wow, a word long disappeared from my northern vocabulary!!

My goodness… those trousers!! Almost R ratable. Thank you @Summerabbacat, just catching up on this great story, and, as ever, I love your comments. Hugs from a very damp Valencia…

Poor you! Had two ex-colleagues for lunch Great to see them (and the wine they brought!) but so happy I don’t go back to school tomorrow leaving at 06.30. Been there, done that…. 🤗

Stefan Schools the Class

Anthony Bolton at Fidelity Investments? My, sadly very small, company pension has grown 1,100% in 23 years. My Spanish pension 0.25% over same period. At least here in Spain the issue is 5% commission, which really screw investors if not in a long bull market, and the refusal of controlling banks to let you invest in funds that pay out only 0.75% or less to intermediary. Oh and in Spain you can’t buy directly in many foreign successful funds.. -
In the midst of readers bitching about Will or Jeremy (and I am one of the worst), comes a comment that connects us with the real world. Thank you so much @Daddydavek for sharing your story. I felt privileged to read it. 🫂

I strongly recommend them to you. The language is wonderful and, interestingly, they were published by chapter and the author, like Dickens, received huge amounts of mail trying to influence the development of the story…… sound familiar? warm regards

@PrivateTim this has to stop! Yet again, I totally agree with you! @Mark Arbour has many skills but the greatest, for me, is his ability to make the change from young JP or Stef’s, etc., totally coherent if you look at them a decade later. I do hope things are improving faster in SoCal after the fires than Valencia after the October floods. The regional president is still refusing to say exactly how many hours his lunch lasted with a certain lady he had chosen to head regional TV station. Meanwhile, 227 people died from a lack of warning….

Is it called, “There’s no flies on me!”? You are amazingly productive!!! I’m so jealous

Totally agree 👍 these people are actors, they act… if we say only a gay actor can play a gay character then the reverse is logically true. The question of the still awful discrimination against non heterosexual identifying persons is an inditement of the industry.

Ummmm as the saying goes, “One swallow* does not a summer make” * bird not a verb……

“Cajole” is what wiener dog owners spend most of the day doing…. Without success, unless large treats are included….. 😭

Chapter 172 Welcome to the Real World

Umm. A friend admitted to me that in a 22-yr-long relationship his partner had never contributed to running costs…. Or holidays…. -
Enjoy! 😊

First day back she defeated all high security measures and cut cables for tv, wifi, router etc……. 😱🥲

This is spooky, @CassieQ. I was just trying to log in here and mt useless tablet wouldn’t let me and, literally, seconds later I got an alert! SPOOKY. Sad your week is “shitty”. Here I have a dachshund trussed up like a turkey joint after her snip snip operation this morning. I know it is the best way to avoid various illnesses later but I’m feeling like a monster.,,
