I thought the focus of this story on new technology was a brilliant idea and might even help to explain the survival of Pros as one of the oldest fandoms i.e. its ability to adapt to changing circumstances - a bit like the British Conservative party (hah! OK, before you all jerk your knees in response, I'm joking, I'm joking....), but there, thankfully, is where the similarity ends.
Another thing is the cream.....tells just so much about them!
Having a type of dialogue-only story allows our imaginations to run riot e.g. And I had to queue for 20 minutes, God knows what people thought of me standing there in leathers with a basket full of cream. I love that bit and the mental picture it conjures up of me queuing behind Doyle in Waitrose looking like something out of Village People. (Doyle, not me.) In fact I think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve read for a long time so either I’ve got a great imagination or the writing is very good and I’m sure it’s the latter.
AngelCI5 got the lad´s voices and wording and interacting so right, it´s like watching them on screen.
I agree. The banter was spot-on.
it doesn´t go with the flow of their conversation and it cuts off the sense of looking at them.
I thought it was fine and didn’t jar with me at all.
