YES! probably couldn't find much to say about poor old brum! Hurst St used to have a real smiley - cool comix shop back in the 70's, is it still there?

--owned by a friend of mine & his very smiley - weird wife, she insisted on calling their kid "Janus" & wondered why the poor soul got picked on at school!!!

COMICS as in superman, tintin etc

--I'm now living in the comics capital of the world; quite ironic really; the husband from hell at the time of all this was really into comics!

(still there by the way, someone you definitely DON'T want to bump into, I'll tell you the horror stories by email if you're into gory D/s vanilla flavour. Definitely NON consense tho!!)

Oh right I see, i don't think it's still there, but there's Andromeda's which seems to be the main one, as well as somewhere on Smallbrooke Queensway, the name of which escapes me.. and somewhere on John Bright Street...

Think I'll skip the D/s vanilla stories.. though!!! unless you want to talk about it! not the kind of thing I'd normally choose to read for fun!

Andromeda! yes that's it!wow, still there, I heard he made a few bob out of it!

Yeah, the horror stories aren't nice, all I can say is it's taught me what to avoid!

So good, I'll stick them back in the closet where they belong (unless I can recycle them as fiction & make a few bob myself out of it!)

--not a horrid capitalist really, far from it; just exploring options.

Andromeda's owned by your ex husband from hell, small smiley - earth or what? or have I just got terribly confused.. it's not on Hurst street anymore though... sorry..

lots of people seem to sell there own horror stories without even saying that they're fiction, Dave Peltzer seemed to make a lot of money from it at least..

Can't say I;d think it was healthy though, there's not blotting out the past, which is good and not leaving it behind, which is bad, I think you need to tread a fine line bettween the two..

Yes, you're so right! One of the wisest things ever said to me was "You have EVERY right to be angry, what these people did to you was unforgiveable BUT don't give them the last word by letting it screw your life up NOW"

-- I can usually keep that in mind, except when I flip, then I just resort to the ingrained behaviour patterns of the kid cowering in the corner; even though it's a totally inapprpriate response now (thank god. or more likely smiley - elf.)

--we'd better stop this before litigation looms!!
