Chapter 2 Beginning to End This is the story of my life. I trust that my words will create the pictures in your mind that will enrich my story with a reality that befits them.

Expect the worst: I’ve just been cut out of what was promising to be a dead cert on Texas Holdem – all for a ‘phone call from my Nan, asking me to save all my margarine tubs. Oh yes. I’m serious. There was some divine cyber shuffling going on in my favour, let me tell you because the deal was holy as the grail.

Chapter 1 Man to Man “It’s a sad-but-true fact that boys are not allowed to have anything real, or imaginary inside them. Hence the gargoylian facial contortions of men as they “make connections” and “network”.

Interior Design Challenge. We keep it all at surface level: It’s called our “feminine side” and quite fra… Continue

Chapter 4 Mouth to Mouth “The world of romance seems to have been boiled down like cow gum: A sticky residue of sexual wants; a veritable Venus Flytrap Stew with a glut of carnal dumplings that all but the Marquis de Sade would find themselves choking on if they tried to swallow.” Chapter 5 Eye to Eye “Throughout these sluggish years, I have experienced mere pellets of progress, manifested in the world through dreams.

It’s like a1960’s ad. for All Spice: Things feel fresh.” Chapter 8 Flight to… Continue

Chapter 10 One to Ten “But the rocks of ages are being hurried into sand. There aren’t enough beaches for the idle rich; Every last stone must be authentically weathered or ground into sand to provide the finest dermo-abrasive surface for their surgically enhanced bodies to lie on. This is their world. KEEP OUT! NO UGLY BODIES! They will have their cake and eat it and they will stay slim. And they will design their own swimming pools and children alike. The stuff that dreams are made of is now t… Continue
