Though wouldn't Josh's brother have to be at least 30 years older to be a Professor Emeritus?
Thanks for the positive comments:
In regard to the Professor Emeritus, what I wrote was, "Ian's a Professor Emeritus at Oxford his field is Architectural History..." and yes Ian would normally be considerably older, however the title Emeritus is conferred before retirement so that the holder retains their title and honours after retirement. Now retirement can be due to age or other. Emeritus can be conferred if one honourably retires from one's tenure, and this may be before normal retirement age. In this case Ian retired early from another university but was coaxed out of retirement by Oxford and joined there staff body. I didn't add this in the back story, my apologies.
this story is funny in all the right ways and well worth the read, thank you
This could expand (well, with a little censorship) into a cable-TV romantic comedy.
Could use an edit with an eye to run-on sentences. Please consider integrating narrative text and dialogues, as well as better identifying the individual speakers.
a good old fashioned British Sitcom.
question ..
are you Renwick in disguise ?

loved it 5 stars.
You handle dialogue so well. It's a story that is, as it were, "easily read" and really funny.
Got any more like that ?

Well done...

Would love to see more.
Easily 5 stars and thank you for writing.
Am I using the term correctly? I speak cowboy, not English. I loved it, would love to read more about these charming souls. You had me laughing nonstop.

What an amazing story. I seriously hated to see it end. “...the arc of pee”. I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair. Many thanks to the author for this one, I love it.
This is one of the best storries I have read. I laughed so hard i spilled my tea all over the keyboard.
Maybe even more than the first time I read it. What a fantastic fun story this is. I seriously think the author should figure out a way to do a sequel to it. I really would like to see more of the lives of Bill and the Prof. Think about it author, please!?
Great dialogue, wonderful imagery. Could visualize the pratfalls and more than smiled through the whole thing. Should really have a sequel! Too much fun to leave...
the story could use some serious editing. that aside, it is funny and heartwarming. I love the banter bits!
good to see that in between all the cocky incel writers someone appreciates and illustrates the erotic power of humour and intelligence. thank you!
The feel good story of the year. It was completely pointless and an absolute joy to read. Kind of reminded me of the movie Roxanne (Steve Martin, Daryl Hannah).
The possessive form of it is lts, not it's. Yes, it doesn't really ruin the story. Yes, I'm a grammar stickler for pointing it out. On the other hand it's (not its) not that hard to get it right and grammar errors do detract from the story, at least they do for me.
