Aw, Ned, don't you just love him? Our Prime Minister has just been forced to resign, so we are looking for a new one, do you think Ned would like both jobs? I think I'd skip the cherry pie with the bits on! Lol. This is another wonderful part and put a big smile on my face. :) Sandra xxx

Well done Bill

I must admit I don't know where this is going. The candidate sounds more confused than our present president but better-natured than the previous one. The jokes are good.

Ned would be an adequate president as long as Pons was his chief of staff.

I love the server! Great writing. Good work.
I suppose naming the speaker followed by a colon works. Using traditional tags would be more cumbersome. But I question whether I would enjoy an entire book in this style.
Best wishes.

This will likely end up as a script in its entirety, along with others with these characters. This is something that is better seen and heard than read.

This seems slightly more screwed up than a real presidential election. The activist are probably some of the ones we have posting on Facebook. I getting some laughs.

I don't think the campaign has got off to a good start with Ned being fed "floor bits" on his cherry pie. And the cherry pits should be on the house. Hope they all survive the meal but maybe food like that makes them believe everything in Rip's paper.

I always love your word play when you write your Ned and Pons satirical scenes. The humor is top of the line and you always write excellent dialogue. Great job on character development, scene and dialogue. I enjoyed it Bill.

Ned may be confused as hell, but he is also as funny as they come. If that president thing does not work out, Ned could always go on the stage as a comedian.

Ned is a fun guy to present.

Obviously.

I enjoy the conversations. They sound real and easy to follow.

These days, among my group of circle friends, Dutch means dividing equally among all. In the old days, people ask the waiters for separate bills. I don't see that practice any more. Is this a change resulting from COVIC19?

It is nice to hear conversations based on old practices.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, that is what *going Dutch* is supposed to mean.
