    Ya, can't see guy's profile either. Its private, only viewable to friends. I doubt a comedy author would use a private profile. Maybe a screen-shot of his profile with Trent part included as proof.

    tbh, anyone who sets up a website for a little story would be stupid....also this is the myspace of the guy who wrote it, yer man only tweaked it...too many quotes there that could be made up in one day.....http://www.myspace.com/trenten1234


    Pfft Nonsense thats only a coincidence maybe "Myspace Trent" is a fan of Boards Trent who knows.........but there is no denying that our Trent is a legend

    I actually am genuinely sad for you, that you don't have the capacity to appreciate true comedy! Such a shame to be honest mate.

    Chapter 16 - "they all surrounded Trent like people surrounding a person"

    Love that the story has been put into blog format. Can't wait for the next exciting instalment!

    I had to laugh today when I head someone trotting out an ancient Chuck Norris joke. Chuck Norris jokes are so one-dimensional compared to the Saga of Trent. Trent is like the best parts of Bond, Bourne and Shaft, but so much better.


    It's 2010 - The Year of The Trent

    I think that putting it in the blog is a great move. Now everybody can read it, in its entirety, in one place and crtique or praise it here.

    I really enjoyed reading it. It gave me plenty of laughs. I particularly like:

    What a wonderful turn of phrase!

    This is brilliant Padraiggg! There were actually tears running down my face in work yesterday reading this!

    My favourite line:

    Trent could well remember that noise from the time he was in the army. "I can well remember that noise from the time I was in the army" Trent thought.

    Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg

    Clearly this is not written by a 10 year old (or someone with the mind of a 10 year old) -- If you truly think that, then I understand your confusion.

    Couldn't agree more, but I'd even say the last 2 chapters have felt a bit 'off'.

    I know padraigggg can do, tho!

    Agreed, definitely last two chapters - in fact, since I started reading them on the blog - have been off. Very much by the numbers and using ideas that were funny the first time, but not as much again.

    It does not read like it was the work of a ten year old kid,
    no ten year old kid would have thought of making a story about a madman, except if his father was a madman.

    you guys do know this isn't going to last forever? I think your expectations are too high. I, on the other hand, am enjoying it while it lasts.
