Please believe that I say this with as much empathy as I could possibly muster.
The partner board was put in place in a specific area which was away from the public gaze and your story rightly belongs there.
However, and keeping the maritime analogy, your portrayal of a "happy ship", leaves me feeling very sad and doubtful.
Deep down, my thoughts are that there is a story for Kirbstone to tell.
That is one which really could be of value to the "newbies", a hell of a lot better than the "nobody notices" usually doled out anyway.
You have said in the past that you don't like long screeds of script and what you choose to share is yours alone, but please consider.
Maybe, Dr Stone based in Blarney could assist.
Steve.
