“ Barney the blustering blowhard bully meets his match when he decides to have terrible towering Tilly Travers as his next victim. This tale of the denouement of a wee wannabe wimp at the hands of a shield maiden is an alliterational delight. ”

“ This is short, unsweetened, and to the point. A girl who don't want her men half baked, smashed up, or some reheated fake...she likes the real thing and nothing else will do! ”

“ I lived in a city for some years, I'm ashamed that sometimes the homeless become invisible, like street furniture to be avoided. Peter's piece perfectly captures this as our two main characters carry on their conversation about the homeless without a thought for the Homeless woman! Aubrey even ignores the woman's begging can on her way home to relax. We are left wondering if the woman is a catalyst. Did she crack Aubrey's shell of righteous complacency which saved a possible tragic ending? Thoroughly moving and thought provoking. I won't walk past a homeless person again. Thank you Peter. ”

“ Not having a journalistic background, and raised on a stodgy diet of local newspapers, I eventually graduated to The Guardian, or as it was known then; The Grauniad. It seems, having read Adam's excellent piece on the life and works of a backroom hero, that the Grauniad had, in my opinion, terrific investigative journalists and in everyone's opinion, a somewhat chaotic editorial staff. I loved that Adam's piece could be factual, somewhat defensive, and yet enjoyable...How did you do that? As to the Oxford comma debate? Bollox, Bollox, and, with or without another comma...Bollox! Thanks Adam, loved it ,,,,,, ”
