Ward the gobshite will go into re-hab then have a series of radio and press interviews planned, his next (hurried) work will be a best seller and no doubt a Hollywood deal is being 'considered'. Hahaha

How delightful. The gentleness of the description had me under its spell too and the way you change the tense of that phrase in the last line brings us right back to the present full circle. So romantic I wanted to say Ahhh! I hope there was a happy ending. xx

Steve is obviously into higher mathematics.
The question that bothers me is whether we can accept as 2 words 'I'm resigning' which actually contains 3 words ( or remnants thereof)See I know my numbers up to 10 too but I never got to 20 - feet too smelly!
Anyway back to the ode. Well done Hugh I'd a feeling there was a gag in there somewhere but I didn't spot it beforehand. much giggling.xx

I googled those Brooke Bond cards and the bubblegum flags also. The link to the BB ones is above.
It was like seeing your best mate from the infant school again but without any embarrassment about what to say.
Somewhere in our brains I suppose we park these familiarities and the emotions associated with them.

The thing is, thats ten words for the elders and at a rate of two every seven years it must have took them a while to say that, unless they pooled their words together, say there were five of them saying two each . .
Made me laugh anyway, thanks Hugh!

I really like this Steve. There's an honesty and freshness about it. You seem to be still owning the young man you were and his optimism and sense of the newness of it all. Room for romance but not for cynicism despite seeing a lot of the world in the intervening years.
