Homophones!!!

No, nothing about gender. This is probably a waste of time, BUT a romantic table in a restaurant is 'DISCREET'. 'Discrete' means 'separate' or discontinuous. You 'PIQUE' someone's interest, or have a 'fit of PIQUE'. You 'peek' at someone (discreetly) and you climb a mountain peak. Surely these are obvious?
Okay. I am a pedant. Perhaps anally retentive. But the whole point of language is to communicate, and to do so as accurately as possible. I blame the education system which went down hill sometime in the sixties or thereabouts.
There. I've had my rant...

Fold Space 3

The first chapter of the third Fold Space story, 'The Picard Manoeuvre' is in the posting queue. For the benefit of the ignorant (should that be innocent?), the Picard Manoeuvre refers to Patrick Stewart's character in Star Trek - The Next Generation, who habitually tugs at his uniform tunic to straighten it. There are seven chapters, which will be posted every other day unless problems arise.

Several readers of 'Slipping the Surly Bonds' asked for a prequel, dealing with Edna, Charles, and David Millward's grandmother, Betty Morrison. Here it is. I hope you like it.

Thanks for the comment. Unused to the new feedback system I somehow deleted your note - my apologies.

My latest Oscar story is in the posting queue. The female love interest isn't called Delilah, but if you read you'll find out why the title! There are references to BDSM, but it's not a BDSM story
