Liking the rebirth of Joe here milner.
I presume those are ales and libations in the last stanza. Maybe pubs. My google-fu wasn't that sharp this morning.

Nice.

The surface simplicity forces me to think, Milner, about how Joe's to-do list slows down and enlivens his downward progress, as compared to Josh's. Tom

Hi Milner,

I get a wonderful feel of a dry, gritty, taciturn wit, delivered beetween mouthfulls of beer - probably in a Yorkshire accent!

Very very nice - I can see the whole scene so vividly, smell the beer on soggy bar towels, the card of KP nuts behind the bar - lovely.

Regards,

Roger
   

i like this a lot. the last S comes off as a tried and true plan that's worked on more than one occasion.  hope i got it right.

Pubs, Rob. Ta.

These two do meet from time to time for a jar or more, Tom, taking some pleasure from their differences.

Right on, Roger.

Yep, Matt.

Thanks to you all.

puts the pubs in a good progression altitude-wise.

This is an absolute delight. 

And by the time you get to the top you will be well and truly pished!! Loving this on Milner.

Thanks, Tom, Peter, Michael. Pity I couldn't keep up with these two these days.
