    T*ts up

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in T*ts up

    Totally agree. I love his take on the youngsters who appear in the stories. They seem really authentic and well-drawn.

    Short and bitter-sweet. Drawing on their own experiences, the writer shares the intimate moments as a parent’s end approaches. So much emotion is packed into a thousand words, beautifully written, of course. “And at the end, peace at last.”

    I’m sure this resonates with many of us. Thank you for putting this story out there for us. And, of course, it is exquisitely written.

    Well up to @northie’s high standard of writing. Present hopes and doubts mixed with an unresolved past. Also starring the great British express bus in the rain and an inability to sit comfortably ….. Written with sympathy and humour. Another great read for a maestro.

    Great chp to conclude my catching up with Ralph. A very useful chat with the uptight Nolan. It showed the guys are still in the early days. Another enjoyable story sails along nicely…. 🤗

    @Summerabbacat, you still manage to shock me from time to time! This is one I am trying to erase from the memory banks……. Naughty!

    Dont think I will ever be skinny again, but need to lose another 4 kg (8.8 lb) to get drs off my back…. With the weiner dog monsters I seem to be losing hair faster than grams…

    @Ron, This is freaky. I’ve never heard of this disease and the physiological issue behind it.. the Wikipedia photos made me feel ill. And now, here in Spain, Netxflix episode of The Resident features a fractured penis. Serendipity or NIGHTMARE!!!!

    These medical words are stressing me out. And now I need a wee…..

    The Price

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in The Price

    Yep, perhaps we should do a crowd funding (or whatever it is called) to put @Mark Arbour on a retainer, v generous of course, so that he can dedicate himself exclusively to his thousands of readers and their addictive needs……

    Yep! There is some quality reading here.

    Older Men

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Older Men

    I’m just enjoying the peace and quiet without the ex-son and ex-brother….. Unlike @PrivateTim, I do not like this Fabien guy. He is trouble and, I fear, toxic. As my Nan used to say, “there’ll be tears before bed time” with this one…., “Mark my words!” An unquieting chp for me…..

    A brutally honest look back at a dead relationship which is steeped in a literary background. Even the pets’ names have a coded message for the reader. This was a joy and a heartbreak to read. Magnificent.

    This is a wonderful piece of writing, utterly breathtaking for me. It is also very clever as in one sense it could be taken as pure nostalgia but there isn’t the regret, it’s the brutal honest looking back that took so long to achieve. Wow.

    Loneliness

    Gary L commented on empath's story chapter in Loneliness

    Sorry, Catullus was the poet and is quoted in a beautiful piece in the Anthology.

    I’m lost but intrigued……. @drsawzall!?!?

    Loneliness

    Gary L commented on empath's story chapter in Loneliness

    First up, you have beautiful writing skills to be proud of. Secondly, the intensity of feelings, often contradictory, that you fit into three short lines is wonderful. I’m in awe. At UK grammar school, poetry was a nightmare with weekly tests on memorising verses, rather than trying to enter into the poet’s world. And then in Latin, one year, we hit Ovid and a two-liner that I more or less remember 50 years on: I love you and I hate you. How is this possible? I don’t know but it’s tearing me apart inside. keep writing!

    Let Freedom Ring

    Gary L commented on empath's story chapter in Let Freedom Ring

    Story is worthy of the excellent comments above. Well done, @empath!

    A very compelling read. This is a really good take on the coming out story and is very well written, indeed. In a way it is perfect as it is.

    Unfortunately, they are not popular with my sister’s dogs who spend hours on guard duty waiting for a grey squirrel to attempt to get past “anti-squirrel device” on bird feeder…. All hell breaks out! As vermin, in the past you could get a reward from the police for producing the grey squirrel tails in a police station. Sadly, v hard to see a splendid red squirrel now in uk.

    An amusing tale which left me slightly queasy until the end! Nice (?!?!?!) humour, Lee!
