Brilliant ! Just read this !!! Sure made me chuckle 🤣 I thought my list was long !!!! The one about when you move so people can pass and they stay there ! I say that one all the time ! It pisses me off !!
Today I had two people on the bus talking on their phones really loud ! I just kept tutting and giving them dirty looks and huffing and puffing!!! People are so unaware !!!
Hahaha, love this. I love Groucho already ! Hopefully he’ll say what everyone thinks but too scared to say 😂. Also I think I like Death by Manuscript!! It’s a bit edgy.
Let’s hope he does. I get the impression that he truly doesn’t give a flying you-know-what anymore and he’s ready to unleash hell on the world. We shall see, but I’m optimistic!
On the title, thanks, it’s now a 50/50 split between the two.
Thank you, on behalf of Groucho. I don't think he's the type to offer much in the way of gratitude, though if he practises what he preaches, he really should. He's unpredictable at times (as curmudgeons tend to be!)
Groucho is quite uncouth, prepare yourself. He’s definitely not to everyone’s liking.
Funnily, I’m not sure Groucho uses scram a whole lot. Skedaddle seems to be more of a regular occurrence. I’m doing a final round of editing now, so perhaps I can add in a few scrams.
I’m glad there’s at least one reader anticipating something!
I’m leaning toward The Final Draft. Was also thinking of adding a ‘?’ to make it The Final Draft? But I wonder, would I be attracting the wrong type of crowd? People may think it’s a Jerry McGuire type thing where an over the hill GM is navigating his last draft for the LA Chargers.
You are collecting quite a few imaginary friends, between ChatGPT and Señor Marks... Should we worry?! Looking forward to reading more either way! And congratulations on the piece in the magazine, I love the theme (in my head I'm pronouncing it in a northern Irish accent).
Imaginary? This Mr Marks character is all too real, unfortunately.
As a kid I had a northern Irish brogue, wish I’d been able to keep it. It’s easily my favourite accent in the world. Maybe I’ll do an audio version of that right here, if the copyright allows it. It’s not like they paid me anything for it!
So pleased to know the identity of that creep I elbowed out of the way.
Are you calling me a creep?
You’d be right if you were. I do sometimes rub people the wrong way.
I hope you learnt your lesson!
Groucho, be nice.
Yes, to elbow harder next time !
Nincompoop, cockamamie, and scram….you sound like gangsters from the 20s 🤣🤣
Hoodlums!
Ps am I being thick? I can’t find the page in the Martello journal ?
You’re definitely not being thick, these things aren’t always so intuitive!
I took a screen shot, but it seems I can’t share it here.

Oh yes, perfect thanks I’ll read that later !

This is brilliant

I can’t wait to hear more from Groucho. Also, SCRAM! Is one of my favorite underused words of the English language. Will it be Groucho’s motto?

I’m eagerly anticipating chapter one!!! Also, just my two cents: I prefer The Final Draft as a title.

Excuse me, who are you calling imaginary?
Who said that?

Alas, so rarely do they pay! Although Irish ones usually do thanks to funding and investments in the arts (also why they are hot right now).
Agree about it being a gorgeous accent. My family are from there too, I was one of those people that got their citizenship after Brexit 🤭
I love this guy! I feel like we could be friends. Anyone who uses 'numpty' and 'muppet' in tandem is alright by me.
