First time I've read the blog, its like reading American Psycho.
Just expecting him to jump out of his Polite Hatchback and stap a homeless person on his way home, making sure he doesn't get any blood on his Hugo Boss suit, with the monogrammed cuff links...0 -

It's hard to convey tone in the written word sometimes. Max is quite good at tone via words.....one of the reasons the blog got 20,000+ views in the end I guess.
I am trying to put a tone to the above post. If one reads it deadpan, comes over... errr....' not quite right'.
I am guessing that the tone to go with the above is kind of jokey with a bit of oooh eeee ooooh. Cannot imagine Max wanting to stab a homeless person nor be quite as deliciously dishy as Christian Bale in American Psycho..no offence Max,.......BYKWIM?0 -
It wasn't a criticism, more of a compliment to his writing skills.
But I suppose if the homeless person was going for the same job as Max....;)0 -

Yup, that's what I thought but if you read it deadpan, it comes over differently.
Actually, I was thinking today what the post is going to be like about when he signs off JSA.0 -

Correct on both counts.
But monogrammed cuff links? Good heavens no.

NICE ONE I LIKE( SANDS OF TIME MUST READ IT) I READ Charlie FIRST TIME.
GREAT WORK0 -
Fantastic result Max. You deserved it though, all the effort you put in.
I totally agree with your summary of the 'help' you got from the Job Centre. Signing off is just the greatest feeling!!I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
Max,
We haven't "spoken" before, but I have been following your blog until a few days ago when I had computer issues. I was going to catch up on such things tomorrow, and now that rotten Pastures New has gone and spoiled the ending
but I am so pleased for you. Well done. :T0
