Hi Jenny, your tearfulness

Posted on Fri, 08 May 2026

Hi Jenny, your tearfulness was likely a result of what your gut already knew but couldn't face until your doctor confirmed it in words. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. As others have said, please keep writing about anything you...

Sounds like Hell to me, Mark.

Posted on Tue, 16 Sep 2025

Sounds like Hell to me, Mark. What sort of person can thrive in this environment? People go on about processed food, what about processed people? I'm rather relieved to be on low pay with worn out joints because I can be as feral as I like in my...

Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

Thank you for the challenge.

Posted on Wed, 15 Apr 2026

Thank you for the challenge. I hope I've honoured everybody else's contributions, they were all so imaginative and pulled the story in different directions and offered new characters. I've enjoyed the humour running throughout and hope to have...

Posted on Fri, 03 Apr 2026

Thank you GlosKat. I haven't actually read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I'm a bit ashamed to say. I will set aside some time to read it. He'll be reunited with Floppy I'm sure.
