These are the Lads as I love them best. Together in a comfortable established relationship that still has its ups and downs (but more ups), but oh-so-close to the men we see onscreen. I had to google Hereward The Wake - nice touch of reality. I can imagine a young Bodie poring over the annuals. As others have said, this feels like a much longer story than it is because of the details and atmosphere you have created. Ta muchly for a great ending to the challenge!
