Brilliant stuff.

Reminded me of clearing a nest off my in-laws balcony, dressed head to toe in ski gear, in high summer.

Personally I'd gone out, in me shorts and vest, carrying the biggest hammer I could find. Causing serious damage to both myself and balcony. But my father in-law had supplied me with the clothes, a wall paper scrapper, and a strict plan. A plan he continously signalled from the safety of the other side of the balcony doors, while I slowly died of heat stroke.

....about the only stroke I got for my troubles.

New story is great, last sentence does it.

^This.

Also liked the line about sucking a rat's foot. Not sure why.

^^ definitely this.

It's Stirling Moss by the way, not Sterling.

Nice read, full of atmosphere. Feel like I need to watch a puddle freeze now.
We've got rats in/around our garden, pretty much the same situation but it's our neighbours bird feeders they're at...got an air rifle but not sure I'm keen on shooting them (our neighbour is up for it). The only thing I shoot is our hens when they get ill...not fun shooting things.

Good story.

Air rifle seems better than going after them with a spade (which I watched as a kid but never quite caught the frenzy enough to take part). Also seems better for the hens... My Dad used to wring their necks but next time around it'll probably fall to me. I don't relish that thought.

Stirling Moss use sealed a quality read for me

It's really good having LFGSS as my editors.
You lot say it how it is, pull my punctuation and spellings, let me know when my words are weak. I love it. I don't reckon I'd still be tapping it out if it wasn't for you lot.
I also love it when my stuff reminds people of their own experiences - killing hens with an air rifle?? Head shot? Intriguing...
Cheers for reading, lads and lasses.

sealed or spoiled? I will edit.

Sealed as in the context of a putdown. Balanced reality check. As if youd picked up on advertising cars on open roads in stunning mountain roads with soft tops and fit girls to people queuing up briggate

Now that's a sentence I like. Poetry, mate. Poetry.

Love that one Luci. Perfect length and I'm sure you're not a gun cunt.

killing hens with an air rifle?? Head shot? Intriguing...

hens don't move much when ill....when it's dark, point blank range back of the head....very quick which makes me feel better about it...strange experience, stops suffering, not nice though... would rather find a dodgy vet who'll give me a syringe and a bucket load of anaesthetic... Vets charge £20 a pop if you ask them to do it. We have rescued ex-battery hens, they don't always last long the poor things, would cost a fortune if we took them all to the vet at the end.

Loved the story, as always.

Got some sub editing for you:

Baited, not bated.

By, not buy.

And your apostrophe use in "it's" for possession is consistently wrong.

Gun cunt < grammar cunt?

Another good story. I like these better than the old tales of sodom.

This is the thread that just keeps on giving, thanks Luci

^^ I think I agree. I like the odd bit of sodom as much as the next man, but these are really great.

top read. cheers luci

strong work. very strong work.

Cheers mate - I think I've found all my rogue 'it's' now. They are a proper blind spot in my writing, I must brush up on stuff like that.

I rely on grammar cunts because I'm so bad at it!! Keep it up!

Also, I'm really chuffed the new stories are popular. I'm not sure they're stories about anything much, really, but that's the idea. It's things I've done that meant something, even if I don't know what that meaning is.

Much as I like the new stories, I'm still a fan of ear-fucking, Bogwanker and tales of drunken sodomy.

Yep, I like both. Variety is the spice of life and all that.

I like both. But I think the trilogy shows you've matured as a writer, as you're no longer relying on the bizarre characters at work to drive the narrative.

There is room for all genres in the Church of Lucifer.
All are welcome.
