I keep suggesting an intervention but Steve becomes highly indignant each time and insists he does not drink too much. Not sure what he considers a little bit of drink but don’t think it coincides with mine.
You may possibly be mistaken about how an intervention works. This is not an ‘Ask and you shall receive’ event, and indignation is brushed off. It’s about Steve’s friends (I believe you can put quotes around “friends”) gathering him in, locking the doors, staring at him with sad eyes while insisting this is all for his own good… For as long as they themselves can hold out without drink.
His “friends” are a definite part of the problem. Brad is the only sober (relatively speaking) member of the otter romp and even he has his moments. Steve can be quite intimidating when he is falling down drunk and his being sober is a rare occurrence.
I had to drink alone at home, Steve...you should've called!!! We could've ran up the tab and attempted shenanigans together!!! Happy belated Easter to all the Steve's around the world!!!
I am so glad Steve did not go to the pub before the meeting. This year’s outcome should be considered a success considering the debacle you had last year. Steve was drunk at the podium, took a swing at poor Brad who was simply trying to be helpful (as usual, poor Brad), Steve toppled off the dais, and then proceeded to vomit his breakfast all over your shoes. To put it mildly, it was a mess. And Steve wasn’t even embarrassed. (As usual, no shame)
Yes, the less said about last year the better. Steve was definitely not trying his best that year. And yes, I suppose in comparison, this year was a HUGE success...
Love the handwritten, well used recipe. The crosses are always great but problematic when you want to warm the buns! You could always serve as decorate your own hot crosses buns.
I am sure Steve’s speech was going to be full of profound thoughts and deep insight into the current state of the world and how we can solve it. It is a loss to humanity that he couldn’t verbalise it due to anxiety causing a dry mouth. Can’t say I blame him for going to the pub. Brad is a good friend to Steve and I’m sure he knows that Steve is always trying his best 🦦❤️🦦
Maybe I do need to spend more time on helping Steve articulate his somewhat complex ideas. He is only trying his best after all. Maybe he needs to express himself through some other medium. Dance maybe?
Has Steve been moonlighting? Listening to the radio in the UK and there was an advert for a well known energy company (Clue: Second word was Gas). Anyway then they claimed that this was the sound of Steve saving money on his Energy bill (didn’t sound like an otter to me, more like a till - from Dark Side of the Moon). Is this where the extra Easter drinking money came from?🤔
Steve is a trove of material with Brad such a perfect accomplice (and Brenda etc). You are blessed to have them in your life, however confused they may make you!
I am known for making things even weirder. But that's also my secret weapon... while I'm distracting the hostage- taker, it gives innocent victims the chance to escape.
Have you and Brad considered an Intervention?
Regularly, yes.

To Steve’s owner, spouse, roommate, whatever:
Unlike Harvey, an imaginary rabbit, you have 2 genuine furry friends but it doesn’t make you any less weird in a lovable way

I'm not sure, Marcia. You sound like trouble ;)
Are you trying your best? No wait, don't answer that. I know the answer...
Steve and Brad really make my day. Thanks a lot!
Steve and Brad definitely are making it easier to smile lately.
They are doing their job then ;)

It was actually my Grandma's, who go it from her mum etc. It had always been word of mouth until my Grandma was finally forced to write it down ;)

Oh, definitely interpretive dance 💃🦦🕺
Brad is a saint - he tolerates a lot from Steve.
And I do believe that deep down, Brad wants the best for Steve.

I have not heard this advert you speak of. And now I am very, very intrigued...

So you're saying I'm lucky to have him? *Gestures to Steve, asleep (with hangover) under kitchen table *
Always, hahaha :)
Love love love this! But does Steve prefer his buns with tea or a pint?
That's an easy question ;)
Steve always does his best.
Steve could be no other way :)
Steve & Brad RULE! 🤘😎🤘
Well, they try their best. Agreed.
The 25-minute awkward stare. 🤣 I would be staring right back in abject awkward rapt adoration. ❤️
That would make it even weirder. But maybe that's what was needed?

Yes! Or drum solo!
As a newbie here, this wasn't what I expecting, but to be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. Love it. Brilliant.
HAHA, I appreciate your honesty, and I’m so pleased you liked it!
To be fair I have no idea what to expect myself when I sit down to write these things…
I don’t know whether to feel sorry for you all or for Steve…
Just feel sorry for me. That will do.
I think I detect a bit of Paddington Bear in Steve's hard stare.
Paddington is so much more.... placid.
