i would love to say that i had kept score of all
the girls i got off with in campsites or otherwise
on a Scalextric track, but sadly must inform you
that i would be struggling to get past the warm
up/formation lap.  And then i'd probably stall on
the grid or be shunted off the track by some
trendy type sporting the latest in ribbed
ticklers.  It is a sad and cruel world we inhabit,
and no mistake.

Tintin!  ah those were the days indeed.  Ho ho.
We danced on the tables in art and sang Altered
Images songs til we nearly burst our lungs.  We
wore tukka boots and legwarmers without a trace of
irony.  Even the boys.  Especially the boys...

i'm not the duke you think i am...
