Graeme Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 A very nice tale. I really got the old English boarding school atmopsphere quickly, but with the modern touches. Mixing the two gave an odd feel to the story, but that's part of its charm. Well done! Graeme :) Link to comment

Tanuki Racoon Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 A very nice tale. I really got the old English boarding school atmopsphere quickly, but with the modern touches. Mixing the two gave an odd feel to the story, but that's part of its charm. I, too, rather enjoyed it. That was great as a short story. I could envision some short story spin-offs too.... (hint) :) However, what is a "Pashes are common..." Pashes? Link to comment
Paul Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 However, what is a "Pashes are common..." Pashes? I sort of assumed it derived from "passion," and after Googling pash + British slang, found I was right. "Infatuation" or "crush" would be equivalents. Very nice story, I agree. Link to comment

Paul Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 OK, so I just read "Robert's Day" and been tantalized by the (temporarily I hope) withdrawn "Albert's Day or Sex on the 6:29" over on GA, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff! Link to comment

blue Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I really liked this one. The focus on a small story, the main character, his group of friends, a boy who loves him, a bully, and a misunderstanding -- all worked well. I liked that this was much more about relationships, what it means to be a friend or a boyfriend or not a friend. I liked that it gave a spectrum of views, the way a group of different people would really think. To anyone who expects this story is about boys gone wild at prep school, nothing too wild goes on. The story's about friendship and relationships. Great story, great friends, and, well, go read it, you lot. Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Wonderful writing from Camy. Jennings rides again! I'm a product (possibly waste product) of the school system that Camy writes about, and I have to say he writes with authority and sympathetically about a long tradition that lives on even now. Not everyone who gets put through that mangle comes out of it as well as the boys in the story do, so I'm very glad that Camy chose to write a happy, positive story. As such it's idealised, escapism. Just what I need. This story establishes a group of friends who go on to have further adventures together - go look for them in Camy's other stories. They're all great and strongly recommended.

Rutabaga Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm bumping this thread because it's one of my favorite Camy stories. "The Boys" are a fine group, and Palmer is lucky to have them around. R Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Another great Camy story. All of them are, but this one stands out. C Link to comment
