Thanks guys!
Really should've said that on here before now - sorry!
I'd had the phrase "lies and deception and dreams of redemption" going round my head since the end of s5, and when I read about the competition "pizza, telly, beer and jelly" popped into my head - I took that as a sign that I needed to do this.....but, although I often scribble bits and pieces, I haven't tried to produce a completed piece of writing for a long, long time and I really wasn't sure I could do it. As it turned out, the hardest bit was hitting the 'submit post' button!
So I am hugely grateful that you nudged me into writing this - and very surprised, and gratified you liked it! I shall carefully stash Michael's autograph away with Damien's. Maybe one day I'll manage to score a hat trick and get Kate's too.
Hope that doesn't read too much like an oscar speech. lol! Thanks again....
