    Thanks @Gary L I'm hoping readers will have a few laughs while following Martin's turmoil.

    Thanks @Cane23 for commenting on the fun aspects of the chapter. I probably should explain that here, the age of (sexual) consent for both heterosexuals and homosexuals is 16. The legal age for consuming alcohol is 18. Yes, legally, you can be fucked before you can be drunk. So far the kids don't know about Martin's changed circumstances. Martin stopped Rick disclosing their familial relationships. Time will tell if they want to change their surnames.

    Expect turmoil! Benjamin (and Justin) could always rely on support from Rick and Simon.

    The polls here, for some politicians, provide recognition of just that.

    Of course in Australia the Tab is a betting agency, and politicians consider polls and betting statistics, recognition of their popularity and re-electability.

    Exactly, regarding Natasha. Two brothers and four ex-sisters in law! Multiple questionable tastes in wives?
  7. Paladin
    Recognition is important to politicians and in recognition of that we could have a political tab.

    More on why Natasha allows Benjamin to spend Friday night away from home in the next chapter. She is very self-centered. Remember she dumped all three children on Martin so she could have a holiday in Cambodia, despite being so negative towards Martin. The world is as she sees it, or in some cases, how she doesn't see it. Keep speculating @Summerabbacat some of it is very close, and I agree, she has no intention of making life easy for Martin. Given that, is Martin likely to let her know much about himself?

    I'm not going to try to guess who was the more shocked. I think Martin would have been more shocked if he hadn't enjoyed his times with Simon and Rick. Certainly is and surprisingly, it worked out OK.

    You are so right @Davide. Simon's comment "We're not having a lot of luck with gay venues." is not generally true, and only regarding finding a lover for Martin.
  11. Paladin
    All good questions, @Flip-Flop and yes some explanations in the next couple of chapters. Martin sorting out his sexuality will take longer.
  12. Paladin
    Yes the business side is under control. It's just Martin's personal life that's out of control.

    The limo dropped Martin at his house and the driver helped him with his bags and duty free purchases. As he entered the house, Martin turned off the alarm and reflected that it didn't provide much in the way of real security and was only a simple deterrent to an indecisive thief. However, it did decrease the house insurance premiums. He stood in the entry and breathed in the familiarity of the house. He was home and he loved the house, although after sharing the London apartment with Simon

    In the absence of hugs or tickle emojis responses consider yourself tickled and hugged.

    Chapter 1

    Paladin commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Quote: We are here because someone—The Archivist, as I’m calling them—has correctly identified the two most vulnerable people at Hilcrest High and found the exact leverage necessary to destroy us both. Who or what is the Archivist and what is in their archive? And importantly what is their motive? Money?

    Paladin reviewed empath's story in Fiction

    Oh, what a difference a day makes! This intense story takes place over one day.A day in which people start to change because of a boy and his dog. The story shows us, in stark reality, the trauma and corrosive effects of ingrained beliefs. But all is not gloom as trauma initiates change and the potential for understanding and family bonding. A compelling story, not only worth reading, but also re-reading. Thank you @empath.

    Chapter 7

    Paladin commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 7

    I found my label machine so obviously I created a label: STORY (To be read, important to understand)

    Even if he has a beard? Oh I see, you mean . . . . that.
  22. Paladin
    Not dumb. Cunning, yes. Nasty, yes.
  23. Paladin
    That works for me.
  24. Paladin
    Martin has sensed that his life has changed. Now we will see how he negotiates those changes, especially with those people who are important to him.
