Friday reading

For some ‘real life’ stories you should do yourself a favour and go read some of Mine Host’s stories at The Public House A sample.

Davo was big and strong. Standing around 6’3″, he was lean, carried no fat, blonde and well built. His arms were strong and had range, sort of like horizontal telegraph poles. He had for some time worked “door” just up the street at the Slaughterhouse Room in the No-Holds-Barred Tavern. Now he was a kitchenhand at the Divers Arms. He was local, white, could fight, and also what is these days known as “gay”.

Mine Host has a great turn of phrase…..well worth the read. Damon Runyan springs to mind when I read his stories making it ideal reading for a Friday afternoon before knocking off and going down the pub.
