I hope after your hiatus that you come to realize that you really are wasting your time and your talent on stories like this. Please write something substantial, something worth reading, something you can look back on with satisfaction.

Hiya,Honey
Don't you worry about it, take care of yourself and have a good rest.
We'll still be here when you return.
Good luck and happy hiatus.

Boo-Boo! Come back!

But it's okay, we know you have committments and other deadlines that have to be met- after all, ffic is a hobby not a paid job, and the bills these days are just getting ridiculous.

Good luck (or should I say break a leg) with the BBC Radio 4 gig. I'm so excited for you. They know good comedy writing when they see it!

PHEW! Here I thought you'd forgotten about us! You're story is on my favorite list. I'll keep my eye out for it when you do get back to updating.

*hugs* Oh don't worry about us, we'll be ready and waiting when your ready to continue with picking Gordon's Jaw of the floor. He's going to be a daddy!

And I know that feeling so well - you want to write but once you sit down it won't happen... Thankfully I have lots of hard copy notes from when I have a mad splrung on writing... but still can't get the *go-to * to write them up.

You take care of yourself my friend and we'll be here when your ready to come back.

We'll leave the ftont light on for you. Take care of yourself.

Awww, I hope you feel better soon! As ever I'm looking forward to reading more! :)

That's ok as long as you look after yourself, your more important than the story. Just don't leave us hanging

Neaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! Bayyyyybeeeeeeee! *Grin* We get a baby! Will it be a ginger bubby? ... Oh. Wait. Please don't let the sad bit be what I think it is... :(

But aaaaaaaw! Grandma being all cute and affectionate and Rachy actually being reciprocal to hugs from her and Gordy being awesome and the goldfish looks! Eeeeep! Love it. :D BTW. Grandma Training School? Nope, I think Grandma T just came by those skills honestly. She's awesome! And I want apple pie... and vanilla ice-cream. Yummo.

Anyway... The bit of dramatic scenery there was quite good, but then it descends into my Johnny being a little bit volatile, not that I mind, I love it when John gets riled. Stupid, dumb, not-thinking, idiot Alan.

I just gotta quote it coz it's so awesomely amazing...

'"I'd just rested a bowl of cornflakes on the control panel and it must have pushed that switch. I'm sorry," he explained, bashfully. Jeff's glower could clearly be felt above the Earth's atmosphere as Alan blushed and squirmed under his father's glare. Jeff's consternation, however, was not nearly as vitriolic as John's.

"WHAT?!" he yelled, horrified. "You're eating cornflakes at MY control panel?!" he demanded. "What the fuck do you think it is up there? Some shitty internet café? There's a dining area out there for a reason! Eat in the designated area! If I get back up there and I find so much as one crumb anywhere near my control panel, I swear to God, Alan, I will come down on you so hard you'll have to reach up to tie your shoelaces!"' Yeeeeeep. *Dances gleefully* Can you imagine his FACE? Love him. Seriously. :D

I just love how deadpan Jeff is about the fact that his son is going to be a father, and he a grandfather. Love his next decision as the Commander. Let's go nuts and get completely numbed by cigars and alcohol and just go to sleep and wake up pretending that it was just a dream. Yeah, that's a great solution Jeff. It'll just make the shock worse afterwards. :D

Great chappie again sweetie, and I look forward to the next marvellous, brilliant, gleefully eeeeeeep-worthy installment whenever you're able to get it done H. Many hugs.

Hello my dear, finally, finally got around to reviewing. *Slaps self on wrist* Unfortunately not going to be madly crazy, as I've got another bloody headache, but I love this chapter, SO MUCH!

First of all... Who said anything about running away? If anything, the intrigue only makes me want to press up against the screen flashing my puppy-dog eyes in an effort to get another. Lucky for me I'm running a bit behind, huh? *Grins*

Now. Down to business *Rubs hands gleefully*

That's right Rach; make yourself at home! Love how you've got Master Scott and Miss Kyrano making goo-goo eyes across the table H, and the fact that living with a son and grandsons with bottomless abysses instead of stomachs doesn't make you look like a glutton if you're to eat more than three servings! Go you Rachy!

Lol. Grandma. What are grandmothers for if not to ask blunt, exceedingly probing questions, and actually expect an answer that has meat to it? Why Gran, you're just an old nosey parker, and I'm not sure you'd like being compared to Aloysius Parker, but oh well.

You have no idea how much I adore the response everyone had to Rach's age. Grandma! And then Johnny being his oh-so-subtle self. Do you really believe that Rach can't see your expression buddy? And Jeff... Just hahahahaha. It took him that long to absorb it? Ha!

He then decides that he needs something with which to cope with the situation, so he ostensibly offers the possibly-pregnant-lady a bourbon (although at this point, I am unsure whether Gordon has told him or not. If not, I apologise).

I think Tin's was the best though; just casually ask which moisturiser she uses. I gotta admit I'm jealous of Rach now. :D

Nooooooo! She can't remember which is Virgil and which is John? How awful! I'd forgive it (almost) if it were Alan and John, because they're both blonde, but Alan isn't there (score, by the way), and there's a difference to the fact that Virgil is both very dark-haired and very tanned. Johnny's just a ghost! Hope she remembers them soon, or I shall be cross! :D

Naaaaw, aaaaaaaaaahhhhh, and eeeeeeeeeeh! That was a very cute, drooly, just aaaaaaaaaaw hint for 'come and lets do the deed'. I love these closing-scenes-that-leave-way-too-much-to-the-imag ination. They're the best. :D

And the hyperness actually made an appearance in spite of the headache, though I don't think I'd be able to deal with another chapter I'm afraid. 'Til tomorrow, my dear Tomodachi, and I swear that it will be tomorrow and not a whole week in waiting. Right now, I need some panadol. :(

Toodles.

lol yes it is definately 5 o'clock somewhere. Great chapter, talk about a curve ball for gordon & rachel... they're so cute.

Excellent chapter, what else is there to say?

now before I get into owt else in this can I just say. Oh thank god you're not an Alan fan too but loved how you sneaked him yet still made him annoying hee hee. John should kick his ass.

wow so she is pregnant how on earth could she not realize that but I guess denial is a powerful thing esepcially given her history bless her. I do love these two and Grandma is so funny.

You're doing so great with this and the little twist with the title was brilliant. Take care.

Oh yes, is it five o'clock somewhere... sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me going.

Yay for Gordon and Rachel! Little ginger baby/ies! what's not to love?

I think grandmothers are all part of the same collective being - sarky when needed, put you in your place more often than not, but fight like the devil if your hurt.

Still gotta love me some grandma Tracy!
