Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021
This reminds me of holidays I have been on, and observations to be made on them. It is very funny, and familiar too. I like the way you observe the characters, all from their particular regions or backgrounds, and then realise that some of them...

I did enjoy your poem when I first read it before, but the music, speech, and video certainly put another slant on it! It feels like an Englishman, or Yorkshireman's take on life, matters of taste and personal choice, but even more humourous with...

Interesting and evocative snapshot of life in Bulgaria. It sounds like it has plenty of character, and perhaps more variety or surprises than places that have been capitalist or western for longer?

I enjoyed the story and have now finished it. I am glad to see that justice was served! I feel it would make a great film, as you have supplied much of the visual description, which could be translated into a great moody film. As you say it was...
