What the hell happened to you since the last thing you wrote? I think someone kidnapped my snodlander and is writing this bleak shit in his stead. Not at all like you. You were funny and upbeat and much more optimistic. The talent is still there, but you sound like life hasn't been living up to your expectations. Don't you like Portugal? Do you miss your work? I'm worried about you. You sound like someone's beat the joy out of you. You need to start reading "The Power of Now", by Tolle, and get happy again. I miss you.

I am happy. I wrote about a leprechaun hitting someone in the groin with a shovel. How is that not funny? It's true I'm a little stressed out. I have to give a talk next week on the importance of reading, why I write, drawing portraits and LGBT rights, all in under 10 minutes. I must write it at some point this weekend.
Again, thanks for reviewing and your honest opinion. Sorry you don't like it that much, but rest assured, I'm good.

Bob,
So, as I understand it, you swapped jobs, quit your job, ate your job, whatever, and now you can write more. Hmmmm... And that equates to a chap a MONTH?????? Come on, dude. For real?
What about those of us who like to read your stuff? Do you just hate us?
You get us all excited - hot and bothered - with an announcement about the job and then.... de nada. That is called 'rude' in the states (hope you can hear the inverted commas.)
Annnnyway...
This was super-duper well-written, as always. These characters always seem to come to life with your dandy hand at dialogue. I'm not sure there are too many folks in the world who can hold a candle to you in that category. Kudos.
Only a couple nits:
1.) (Come) on, another hour and we can have a brew."
2.) We don't want it floating downstream and blocking up the sewer further down."
--> not sure you'll agree, but I was taught that if it's distances, it's 'farther'
Thanks a bunch. Now. I know the holidays will keep you busy. I will forgive that. But after the first of the year - can we PLEASE pick up the pace??? [hehehe]
Thanks for the fun!

Yeah yeah yeah,
OK this month is mental, but with the nights drawing in, I'll try, but I have school homework to do as well.
I think I'll leave the further in as it's speech and Londoners don't tend to say farther, because it sounds the same as father.
As for the rest, thank you, I'm blushing.

Stop blushing and start writing.

Mr. Snodlander,
I gave you a four, because what I read made no sense to me. Your title was Sorry, Not sorry, yet I found no correlation to the story and the title.. This said, I found no misspelled words. Jery

Sorry you missed the significance of the 'sorry' in inverted commas, but I can't please everyone, I guess. Thaks for your review

This is a story with an interesting twist. You came up with a very creative way to deal with the issue of peoples bigotry and how some people automatically think they're better than someone else.
