So many snide minds in one small space. This cannot end well... I always get the feeling that the only person who's truly in control of anything at these meetings is Prowse =D

[ninablues]

Ahaha, you may be right! Prowse just sort of stands around doing his own thing while Ashdown, Newson, Verity etc battle it out like crazy people. The snideness makes them so fun to write, though... I can't resist!

Mmm. . .very well written. I like your use of dialogue. Very clever writing. Thumbs up!

[ninablues]

Thanks so much! :)

Kick him, Ashdown. Kick him good. Frickin' Newson, he doesn't respect anyone. Nice job.

I love Ashdown. And I loved seeing how this meeting played out...Newson seems awfully used to getting what he wants. Would not mind seeing Ashdown take him down a peg further than this ;)

These two are such a great match. I can just see them driving each other mad, they're so much alike, the egotistical bastards. If it comes down strictly to character, Ashdown's bound to win - Newson's too hot headed. But then Newson has all the cash and people at his disposal, and Ashdown is so displaced.

I giggled at the reminder of the horrors of "the jetlag" ;)
