Danny's Navel Adventure

By Toni Bryan

Men left to their own devices, tied to a natural desire to philosophise about any subject especially when they have idle time on the hands, tend to end up in the strangest of situations, particularly if they start wondering if they've ever been in love!

Thus Danny, in an idle moment staring down at the hairs on his belly button, ponders in a moment of complete absurdity whether if he has ever been in love, or was it lust. Rising out of his beloved battered armchair he embarks on a quest to find out. Follow Danny's hilarious adventures as he searches for the 'Pink Blancmange' in his local library, gets propositioned by a gay shop assistant in a bookstore, meets the 'Mafia' on a blind date, discovers his 70-year-old mother has a secret lover, and talks to a wall at a party, only to discover later how alive the wall was. Life will never be the same again!

Toni Bryan

I write under the pseudonym of ‘Toni Bryan’, a choice reflected in celebration of my dad and my European travels, and reflects my own personal delight in ‘mucking’ around with language. I believe that language should reflect the individual, in which case my profile photo should hopefully make you smile.I was born some time ago into a poor working class background, the workhouse was never far away and bread was a luxury meal. I left school at the age of 15 able to read and write and could do enough maths to play darts and work out the price for a pint of British beer; Irish Guinness being my favourite. At the grand age of 41 I graduated from the University of Nottingham, where I discovered that I was never going to be an academic. In 2001 I became a political exile of the UK, wandering the land of Europe in search of El Dorado, only to find Greece and Germany, where I've lived for the past six years. Presently I teach English. I remain optimistic that I’ll still be alive in thirty years’ time. I’ve no plans to return to England.
