Found the site in November 2011. Love the friendly and easy format. Write stories and the occasional poem. Have published four books, all available from Amazon. The East End Butcher Boy, Eastendbutchers Short Story Collection, The Men In The Shadows and Who Is Jack Winter. Always amazed at the diversity of the site and the quality of the writing. Try to write as much as I can and like to try different styles. Hope you like my stories.

Ive been to too many funerals lately, heh, but thats just a sign of getting older. Great lines in this. My favoutite was.
Recognising faces that have morphed
like a red-headed 18 year-old
now in his 50s with sleek grey hair...

Ahh the old school reunions. They can often go two ways, either enjoyable or a total nightmare. Yours seemed to go fine and possibly put to bed some old demons. I only went to one. Left after twenty minutes...

Really enjoyed January's

Really enjoyed January's snippets, especially the 29th. I felt sorry for the cat. Not sure castration has ever brought joy to any ones life! Keep them coming...

He's a bit of a legend is Joseph Locke in Ireland. Great voice, great character. Nice story, as Sooz said, just needs a quick edit, but nice work. Enjoyed this on a very dull day in London.

Fuck me...this is good. Very good. I've been to every place you mention in Paris and for all the same reasons. But not with the same outcome. Brilliant piece of writing. More please...

Great story Jane. Never really got Dire Straits! Did you know that Mark Knopfler wrote Private Dancer and then gave it to Tina Turner to record? Poor old Brooksy...

A lot to like about this Ewan

A lot to like about this Ewan. Red corduroyed legs scissor past, in pursuit of nylon smoothed limbs...is a favourite. But I also never thought I'd see the name Huawei in a poem! Great stuff mate.

Another fascinating read.

Another fascinating read. Enlightening for me who knows nothing about the condition. We're about the same age so I can imagine how difficult it must have been at School and going through those teenage years when everyone wants to be "accepted...
