When I was at a party on Saturday night, very drunk off scrumpy and absinthe (which don't mix as well as might be hoped), I was caught kissing a good friend's girlfriend, while he was in the room next door. So what the hell should I say to them next time I see either of them?
Well it depends if you kissed her or she kissed you. If she kissed you, then you call her a slag and tell your mate his girlfriend's not good enough for him. If you kissed her, leave the country.
Well, sort of both really. And I wasn't exactly trying to stop her. But hey, I'm leaving the country on October 1st for about a year, so if I can only hold out until then...
Though of course you could deny all knowledge, blaming your defective memory on two of the worst beverages known to man. Except El Dorado, buckfast, MD20/20 and all the other things that people hanging around Paisley after dark all drink. But they don't (presumably) have the privilege of an Oxbridge education, I don't know, bloody students, kids today etc etc (as an old curmudgeonly ex-student sort for all of two weeks, I get to be all patronising now. I'm just jealous cos Cambridge didn't want me)
I rarely think of an Oxbridge education as a priviledge, more of a burden... You didn't miss much by not coming here, and ending up somewhere that has a decent social life & enough money left after you've paid the rent to afford it... (I'm just jealous cos Nottingham didn't want me...)
Oh, and I would talk loads about the Lilac Time if I thought anyone was in the slightest bit interested. Thread content: Stephen Duffy was once in Duran Duran. What goes around, comes around, as wise old people sometimes say. Not me, I'm not wise though. Or really that old. Honest.
"The greatest wisdom is in knowing that you are not wise". I can't remeber who said that, but it sounds good. I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but I read somewhere (Select maybe?) that when Duglas was making the B&S documentary, he got so pissed off with Stuart M refusing to be interviewed that he threatened to disprove the myth about him being a former boxer by going round to his house and beating the crap out of him. And that Sarah agreed to do an interview, but only if she could wear a Darth Vader mask throughout... Anyone fancy offering me a job for the summer?
