Any comments?

:lol:

Just how do you manage to produce this kind of sentence?

Thank you, Alan, for giving us another of your pieces to savour!

What a story, hehehe… thank you Alan! :smiley:

Hi Alan

TV sets being harangued at … (non-) hoovering nurses … near drownings … and poor Alan forced to endure a World Cup game with such a dismal end. :cry: My sympathies. But look at the bright side. Things should be much safer for you now. :smiley:

Please pardon my ignorance, but who the devil is Sven whathisname? :lol:

Hi Amy,

Funny old thing that I am explaining this but this guy whose full name is Sven Goran Erikson is/was the England football manager. The only reason I know this is because he’s very easy to mimic and his persona is often used in comedy programmes where his Swedish accent is copied. I do a passable impression myself and my younger son and I have had lengthy chats on the phone using Svenlike voices. Oh dear, football is taking me over.

Hi Alan, thank you so much for sharing this story with us. I like your type of humour and style. The sentence above is an example of how you make your readers smile. I think if you post a story like this every day (even it were shorter), it will become very popular after a while. We could also incorporate your stories into our newsletter.

As a matter of fact, you start some type of blog.

Hi,

I like the idea of having some sort of a story blog very much. Especially if Alan writes stories as his language is so vivid.

Hi Alan
Thanks a lot for your versatile story and the reflectance of proficiency that you showed in English is simply awesome. I liked the story and the style you put it forward.
