3. The Bromance

Available for over a year

Ed’s ‘Soapbox Corner’ is now entering its third successful week with a gratifying nine complaints thus far. Garnering inspiration for these weekly observations can often be had at the local swimming pool, which also has the benefit of cost-efficient radiators on which to dry one’s washing. Thus, Ed heads to the pool where he soon strikes up a friendship with a likeminded chap in the form of Derek, who is not only a big fan of Ed’s work, but a keen writer. With a warning from Ping ringing in his ears, Ed decides it’s time to collaborate, something he hasn’t done since the early 80‘s.
