Mancunian

Definitely not a City fan. And only loved, as in the past tense? I hope you still love them, there is more to come in time and when I can get back around to it @raven1 and I are doing a re-write of Thr Boot Three Years On. It got put on hold as I've been ill recently, I'm happy to say things have improved some over the last week or so.

But you know you love us really.

Why would any of us want to put the reader's guesses off?

One author I'm sure about, another I considered didn't take part. For obvious reasons, if you read the lists, I'm not commenting on one, I may leave a few guesses later.

Ditto, I think the review I left can still be viewed. While it isn't a 5* review it is still a favourable review at 4* and I did recommend it.

Now the guessing game gets more interesting. 🤔

I think it is a shame as the story has its merits and did find it an enjoyable read, but I do accept and respect the author's right to make their own decisions.

I finished reading the latest SA story, Dangerous Activities, left a comment and review and now it has been permanently removed! I must confess that I am left wondering why. I know from reading the comments not all were flattering but as authors we have to accept that. Is there a reason for its removal? I am curious to know why.

Sven and Brett got it on, and Bill and Teddy got it on, but did Joey and Ricky get it on with the dancers? You never did finish what was going on in that hotel room. I'm not surprised that so few turned out for Randy's funeral but it must have hurt his parents and I think it's a shame they felt so embarrassed by their son's actions that they sold up and left New York, they are not responsible for his actions and should not feel the need to move away.

Samantha does have her suspicions, but she is just keeping them to herself for now. Jason may have some suspicions, not because he has seen anything other than Tim's reaction to their dad's comment and like a typical younger brother he's checking what mileage he can get out of it. As for mum, well she is a mum and mums know their children. It looks like both couples are enjoying letting things develop between them, Guy and Tim are heavily into each other as are Ben and Samantha.

I'm a bit late coming to the party with this chapter, but I notice that my fellow readers have covered just about all there is to say about what has come to light. After what the kids have been through it's a wonder they can talk to anyone about their experiences, that being said, I'm sure there is a lot more still to be brought out into the open. I'm wondering if the reason it took Nick so long to land on his uncle's porch is because he kept trying to go home until one of the older kids told him about his uncle and where to find him. I'm hoping it's something like that and not because of being in a daze after being assaulted by the kids at the burger joint. All of the kids need thorough medical examinations and a lot of ongoing psychiatric treatment which will take some time, possibly into adulthood. If the justice system doesn't pay for it then the POS parent's house and other assets should be sold to cover the cost.

I hope your appointments went well. I went to my hospital appointment on Tuesday and only got home today! After a bucketful of antibiotics from a drip and keyhole surgery to remove stones, I'm home with a big bottle of anti-biotic pills (to add to the daily mountain of pills) and a few stitches, I'm at home recovering. I should be used to it by now, but I just wish it would all stop. Sorry guys, rant over. I just needed to get it off my chest.

We go on a cruise and watch two couples as they face a pressing issue in their relationships. Each couple is different and although on the same cruise, so are their journeys. Read and enjoy as each couple discovers the true meaning of love and relationships in this smoothly-written story.

Love doesn't have a chance until you give it a chance, then the world is your oyster. This comes through loud and clear in this wonderful story where two couples have their issues to resolve. Each couple has their own journey before realising this. It's not the cruise that opened their eyes, it's the opportunity it gave them to see what was in front of them. I come away from this story feeling good for these two couples who no longer hide their love.

I'd say that I'm sorry to hear about Randy, but I'm not. What happened to him was bound to happen with his attitude. It's good that Joey and Ricky have been honest with each other about their encounters, I hope it doesn't cause problems in their relationship but I fear that Bill's jealousy could rear its ugly head unless he falls for his blind date or another guy.

I liked the atmosphere of a nice romantic evening, out in the open getting close and...well you get the picture. The come down after arriving home would be enough to scare anyone shitless, but I'm sure it's not Tim's dad or brother because he locked his bedroom door. My money is on Ben wanting to talk after the revelations earlier in the day.

I'll second that. 😃

He is an English man living in Canada, hmm 🤔

Marty's contacts from Lost Soul - The Ox were serving military men. These contacts...let's just say they are not serving in the military, oops, I may have given something away.

Has he followed an author in from the secret author Sci-fi stories? 🚀

I hear you, but

I dread to think about what these kids have been put through, my concern now is what else will be revealed. From some of the kid's comments, I don't think we are going to like any of it. Sexual abuse is one fear that comes to my mind.

Having seen how Social Services work in the UK I know how fast these things can develop and be dealt with here. In this type of emergency with no other alternatives They would allow Brendan to take the kids home on the condition that the children have the bedrooms and he sleeps on the couch. But they would only accept this as a temporary short-term solution. It sounds like Rich, Brendan's brother, is a godsend, I hope he can get things moving quickly so the kids are not taken away and split up.

Aloha Albert. I'm still trying to stay awake long enough to do something useful, but I keep nodding off.

i am. I love this confusion, and just to clarify the point, my only connection with Canada is that my godmother lives in Vancouver. I am very definitely British and live in Manchester England, hence Mancunian.
