Oh, I liked that. Bodie's a sly one, that's a fact.

[melanieathene]

He certainly keeps Doyle on his toes. :) Thanks for reading!

Wonderful warm and cold first time, I very much like Bodie complaining!

Only I wondered about the dice, we use six sided ones for Monopoly.....

I love the implication that they´re "together" even in the eyes of Doyle´s sister!

[melanieathene]

Thank you. Bodie can be quite the whiner, can't he.

I'm more than a bit puzzled by your dice comment. Yeah, six sides, 1-6 black dots. Two white die (the singular of dice), giving a player a maximum score of 12, a minimum of 2. That's always been the norm for Monopoly, right? I've added a pic at the start of the fic to better set the scene. Hope that helps.

Kath is a sharp one. :)

I wonder how:
Doyle rolled a two and a nine

and
Doyle a seven and a four.

if there are only six sides, how can that work?

Oh yes, maybe you should write a piece about them visiting Kath at New Years, where she kinda says: Finally!! *g*

[melanieathene]

Ah! That is wrong. Thank you for catching that.

I'm not sure they could keep their hands off each other. She might be scandalized!

Liked this very much! Especially the green glare of Doyle's eyes when he raised the two fingered salute and the on going competition of the dice. Had to laugh because I used 'colder than a witch's tit' for the story I wrote for day four but my Brit picker made me take it out! I was wronged! lol--it's a very good phrase indeed.

[melanieathene]

Thank you!

I've used that phrase twice now in my Pros stories. Granted, it's more than a bit on the crude side, but people weren't as PC back in the 80s, were they? Some things change for the better. :)

Great fun, thank you - I always love it when Bodie connives to get what he wants *g*

[melanieathene]

Thank you!

I love tricky Bodie. :)

Wonderful - sneaky, sarky and just them! Thank you.

[melanieathene]

LOL! It's hard to put a sugar coating on these lads, it rolls right off their sarky hides.

Thank you for reading.
