He's none too excited with the friends have a going away party shortly afterwards but perks up when he overhears an editor, John Langley, saying he is looking for new writing talent. Opportunities to present himself as a potential talent to Langley are plentiful but he blows each and every one of them.
2Time OutThe long, wet Summer has Colin thinking about warmer places. He needs a holiday, but will he let himself take one and enjoy it?
