Why this must be read: Because this is a lovely little fic that brings our older lads into the twenty first century with their eternal competence and humour! Of course Bodie has an iPhone, now that they're both in from the streets and their work takes them to the PM's offices and the like, and of course Doyle... well, you'll just have to read it and see. *g*

Pros is set firmly in the late 1970s/early 1980s, but AngelCI5 has taken the glimpses we're given of our lads then - that they were already confidently using computers, that they always seem to be competent with new tools and technology and seem fairly open-minded about it all (we never see them complain about computers, for example) - and has brought our lads right up to date in a way that rings absolutely true. They might be older, but this is Bodie and Doyle exactly as I imagine them!

The meeting was delayed because the pm was running late. Only just finished.

I don’t think one text, one post it and one email is over the top. Not with your memory.

Bloody cheek saying I’m licking in certain areas. Never had any complaints before. And I can think of more interesting things for you to photograph rather than me cockring.

Cars just arrived so on my way home now.

That should’ve been LACKING and COOKING.

Bloosy predictive text. I’ve turned it off now.

I think I preferred “licking” and “cockring”...
