    Like every other narcissist except for the immense wealth…. The story telling by @Mark Arbour continues to develop at such a high level. Even if you hate Jeremy or, dare I say it, Will, those feelings are a credit to the author and his skill. 2024 has been a bumper year for your fans, Mark. Thank you so much, and I hope Santa or whoever, brings you some nice goodies. 🤗 gary
  4. Christmas Challenge for @PrivateTim and other confused persons: who drives you most mad 😡 1. Zach the waste of space 2. Jeremy the utter waste of space 3. Will the Wonderboy, saviour of the GA universe, etc etc. BTW, anyone choosing the third opposition is automatically eliminated from the count…… Happy Christmas/Holidays/St Grinch Day etc.

    Sociability

    An excellent bonding session by doing simple things together. A recipe for happiness. Another great installment.
  6. Amongst @PrivateTim‘s myriad of anti Will rants, this has to in my all time top three! I salute thee, sir! You have surpassed yourself. Thank you! ps, of course deep down you know you are wrong and admire Will and all he stands for……. 😜
  7. A great year for GA,a heart-felt thanks to the leadership team.., you’ve done a cracking job!
  8. “Wandering hands and risqué pictures“ irresistible chp title!
  9. Nope, encouraged by my mother, I gave up working in the investment industry and came out here.
  10. We did actually buy some lovely bowls for like individual salads. The rest of the stuff was a little disappointing….. many thanks for your encouragement!
  11. Lilebeth was suggested by my other half. Her crimes increase almost daily. Today I came home after a quite visit to village shops to find the living room stank of stale coffee…. The floor and their bed were covered in coffee grinds. My (expensive) weinerdog-proof recycling system failed……
  12. Yep, the “facts” about Jack leaving for Spain are based on me. I met my “Joan” (Catalan name with two syllables) in Earls Court in May 1999. I’m in Spain since 2003.
  13. Fortunately, the standard funeral insurance everyone pays for here covers repatriation costs, luckily for her…… 😭
  14. Thank you all for your nice comments! facts: the village exists and there is indeed only one pottery left; the eagles over the viaduct - an almost spiritual moment; Greta the dachshund who will be joined in future adventures by Lilebeth AKA Spawn of Satan fiction: Juan and his mother, although I saw her and she scared me to death with a look!
  15. The high level story-telling continues. I fear Damian is in for a tough ride despite Ludo’s unconditional love.
  16. On the Xmas list!
  17. God, it cost me to get this out of me! Thanks, my friend xxx
  18. Juan groaned half-silently as the harsh bell on the old alarm clock rang out in his dark and spartan bedroom. No snoose facility was available, and anyway, Mother would have a few things to add to her ever-increasing list of his inadequacies if he thought he could get away with a lie-in one day a week. “The devil makes trouble for idle hands.”, was one of her refrains, to be supplemented by pointed case studies of those who had indeed had idle hands and who had fallen by the wayside.

    But we need to be aware of what Churchill said of uk and usa - two nations separated by a common language… My (American) Latin teacher used to scream, literally, at his fellow citizens, “You guys don’t know what a past perfect is. How can you learn Latin?” His grades indicated they couldn’t…. But spelling variations are another matter and we just have to be consistent. BTW his hobby was to translate the overseas Times Herald Tribute into Latin each day. He was the guy who invented new Latin words for the 20th century inventions, and finally, he once got away with starting an official translation of a papal document thus: “Once upon a time…..” No bigwig noticed. Father Reggie was unique!

    Not quite…. Teetotal, perhaps. My comment was intended as a joke about a typo.
  22. Let’s hope Robert thinks you are 🙃
  23. Before the good @Summerabbacat asks, this is a totally new one for me! Great ideas planned out for the future. No pressure, of course, but sometimes writers do have to make sacrifices for their avid fans….. so @Robert Hugill, celebrate Christmas well, but wisely…. Your Australian fans and others are v demanding! 😥
