Brilliant Jimmy! Laugh out loud moments while sitting in a brewery in Milford. Absolutely lovely story. Love you baby, you’re the best.

I'm glad the joy carried out to Milford. I don't get out that way very often and I'm sure Milford is fine with that.

“It looked like the third purchase of an illiterate disco fan after hitting the lottery”

Surely that would be a Hublot ? 😎

I am glad the parents can still be civil to each other and have standards in terms of what they say to their children.

Regrettably rare, based upon my own experience.

So much incidental observation in your stories, Jimmy. A joy to read. I doubt they are a joy to write, but I love reading them. Thank you.

They're almost always a joy to write. The times that the process isn't that fun is because other things in my life are taking up my time and my brain power and that's frustrating.

Hilarious!

The pent up number of comparisons just exploded outward.

But the one that set me off: 'If I marry Felpbourne, invite me to join you at the detonation'.

This one was just FUN to read.

If you ever do a video, bet you can't read it in one take with a straight face!

Have a great evening, Jimmy.

I'm going to bed laughing!

Oh my God I just loved that! So many brilliant little gems in there: "Your scrotum was going to take out one of the solar arrays on the Space Station." "full kit wanker." But when the ex says, after he texts and say he's going to blow up the library with him in it, and she says her too...classic!

This is a delightful, clever story. I love this: "He had a Boston Terrier whose name he would change to appease the women he was trying to impress."

Thanks Bill. I haven't written as much humor as I planned on and readers called me out for it.

You know, Jimmy, just when I was saying that people should be judicious about their use of similes...

Brilliant.

Moderation is not what I'm going to be remembered for and Tom Robbins is one of my literary inspirations, so there ya go.

Happy you enjoyed it like a Rottweiler on an unattended roast.🤡
