  1. No toe sucking is planned, at least not anywhere near a camera.
  2. No one has much control over that particular box.
  3. A lot of these questions will be answered in the next chapter, @Summerabbacat. Martin, Simon and Rick toasted to "It's like the three Musketeers". They have forged a friendship Now how will that work out?
  4. As much as Martin might like to stuff everything back into the box, he won't be able to do it. Yes, more on the other items in the next chapter.
  5. Thanks @Cane23. There were hints of an attraction between Simon and Rick from the time they met at the airport. "Good morning, I’m Richard but family and friends call me Rick." Martin held out his hand "Hi Richard, pleased to meet you". "Please, it's Rick." Simon took Rick's hand "Pleased to meet you Rick". Slowly pulling his eyes away from Simon's, Rick responded "the car's over here. I'll give you a hand with your luggage". A very astute observation. Martin will need support and who better than Simon and Rick?
  6. I'm pleased that this little visit to England has evoked pleasant memories for you.
  7. Well spotted with both. More explanation of both coming soon in the next chapter
  8. Martin will try to keep a number of these boxes closed but it won't be easy.
  9. Yes some things are moving quickly. More on Rick and Simon in the next chapter.
  10. Yes, Martin found himself comfortable with the family and that did influence his decision. More on Bertrand following Martin's life in the next chapter. Lots more turmoil for Martin.

    What's not to love about Axl and the caring and now softer Ollie. ❤️ Go Team #Oxl. Finish Phase 3 and go straight to Phase 4.
  12. Martin wasn’t at all sure what to say to Simon the next morning. As it turned out he didn’t have a chance because by the time he’d finished his shower, Rick was there with freshly baked croissants to add to breakfast. After a leisurely but quick breakfast, Rick hurried them off to Buckingham Palace for the colourful, crowd pleasing Changing of the Guards.

    It's part of the uniform and an essential item in the delivery protocol.

    But, but he was using the Domino's box to cover his butt. Obviously he was so brain scrambled that he didn't think to use the box open which would have covered eighty percent of said butt. I'll accept that he's got a big butt, but I not complaining.
  17. Oh yes, he still has to meet the extended family.
  18. Martin will need to learn how to negotiate wealth and relationships.
  19. Martin will need to learn how to negotiate wealth and relationships.
  20. Aussies regularly sit in the front passenger seat in taxis and Ubers. I was just making the point that London Black Cabs don't offer that choice, however their "back seat" area is both spacious and comfortable.
  21. It is more that Christian is the son in an established family firm of expensive solicitors catering to those who can afford their services. Remember he referred to Bert as a "valued client".
  22. That sound like something you'd serve at dinner, no wait, that would be Beef Wellington (without field mushrooms)
  23. Martin is totally overwhelmed at this stage. Things will settle down for him when he accepts all the changes in his life.
  24. This story is called turmoil and yes that will include Martin's relationship with his children and his ex, but maybe @CincyKris not in the way you expect.
