Comments on: Jo Bell, better than the Priory http://myplaceoryours.org.uk/charlie-jordan/jo-bell-better-than-the-priory/ My Place or Yours is a new kind of writer residency across five regions of England, in real and virtual spaces, exploring the theme of place. Take a moment to wander round and make it your place. We’d love to hear from you.

Hopefully your son will 'catch' your love of Man U as he gets older, and let's face it - he'll enjoy more success than my little WBA supporting nephew, who's already learning life lessons like relegation! Hope all is well with you, and look forward to seeing you at the Chill, and hope you and Jo get to perform as well:) Bless you for the persevering Tony, and I will only ever think of Sausages with Bosnich from now on…..

Looking forward to hearing at the ChilI. You have a very professional-sounding radio voice! I had a smile on my face throughout at the childish enthusiasm and mental leaps that kids make. The line about being able to spell the players' names reminds me of this story. My lad, Joe is 12 now and I'm failing to make him the mad keen Man U fan that I was at his age. He's too busy shooting Nazi Zombies on his X-Box! When he was about 2 though, United had just won the treble in 1999 so I had the line-up poster on his bedroom wall. Well, my wife wouldn't let me pin it up in our room ;-) I used to hold him up and get him to say the players' names. He started to remember them after a while. I remember he always said 'Aul Scholes, Ole Gunnar Solkjaer was pronounced differently every time, but a running joke in our house is the way he pronounced the name of the reserve goalkeeper of the time, Mark Bosnich. "My Sausage" anyone? Hi Charlie

For other mentors - we've been using Word's 'track changes' tool which allows me to butcher Charlie's work at will, whilst showing her exactly where and why I would suggest changes. Charlie's response is just what I hoped for - it's a delicate moment when you leap in to an early draft wielding a red pen, but worth it in this case I think. It's exciting to see Charlie's work changing and growing, and I will be watching with a glow of pride as she kicks off at the Big Chill! Aw, shucks.
