This is so much fun and a great idea. Please can we do it again? I've arrived late to the party (again).

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
Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018
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...

Sorry but I need to comment too. This is so colourful, Harry, so concentrated like a detailed painting, a painting over a painting with added texture, you've covered every bit of the canvas and made it throughly entertaining to read. I want to...

This is very sad, the story
Posted on Sat, 12 Jul 2025
This is very sad, the story of a lost childhood but worse than that, grief never allowed to be expressed and your value reduced to domestic duty. How lonely this must have been. I wonder how many kids go through similar experiences. Writing will...

A ray of hope, however small
Posted on Thu, 06 Feb 2025
