On a final note, in case it wasn't obvious I have long since gotten past the point where I have fallen in love with this story and balance of probabilities says I'm going to finish it. Andy can you please change the FAQ. :D

Yes, but why did he decide that Hobbits didn't wear shoes? What did he get the idea for that?

Robert,
If only you were the inspiration! But like you said barefoot people? Ya never know right? :)

Gavin, I was thinking more of a midsummer drink fest. Or just popcorn and a movie and a good FF gamebook reading :p what do you fancy?

And Gavin, when did you realised you were a woman? I don't swing in that direction as a lesbian. But I guess there's a first for everything. LoL

Um. You never saw any of the interviews about what actually inspired Outsider? Awfully nice weather for the time of year.

Nice hearing from you again anyway.

I'm guessing you clicked the House of Horror comments by accident? Anyway.

Thanks for the kind words Tammy. However, I've given up on trying to inspire people. I walked barefoot through a pub, cheery hello to a couple of waitresses I know, with about twenty or so customers. Five minutes later it turned out one (yes, only one, that's all it takes to ruin my lifestyle) made a complaint. I've been in a bad mood all night since. I'm considering resigning from my position there anyway, so never mind. To hell with it all.

You couldn't involve the union or ACAS or something? Though they're probably gonna play the hygiene card.

You have my sympathies in any case. Plenty of right wing Americans who'd burn me at the stake.

Robert,

Don't be upset. If you want to walk barefoot who fucking cares what others think. If you love it, then do it! If one place doesn't like it don't go there anymore.

Fair comment Tammy. However in the UK we have an employment system geared towards the bourgeoisie (Ooer little bit of politics there) and a phenomena known as the 'jack the lad'. I didn't do martial arts for 30 years to merely write about it. Or witchcraft for that matter.

Thanks for the kind words Tammy. It's very frustrating living in a country that (generally) doesn't understand alternative lifestyles, while halfway round the world it's an integral part of New Zealand culture. Nevertheless, I'll do as you advise. One odd (if very welcome) response was from staff at a pleasant café I often visit during breaks - that is, nothing untoward is ever mentioned, no pointed facial expressions. At least that's something :) Even so, I might check with the manager - a very charming lady - as I don't want to put her in a difficult position; some of the customers might not be so tolerant and complain. If that's the case then, reluctantly, I'll either don flips flops or head elsewhere.

Absolutely. Flip flops only if you have to though. :) keep your feet happy not depressed an stressed ;)

They f*** you up your mom and dad and blame it all on you. But they were f***ed up in their turn by vets of world war f***ing 2. They call us generation x and hate us all the more. But we sneer at the millennials as we start another war. Man hands on misery to man, it deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out quickly as you can and never have any kids yourself.
