Now.. You know how you always get a dumb-ass bully at school, and he tries to put everyone down in order to make himself look better?
That's Marc.

You know how Steroids give meatheads an un-natural bias towards violence?
That's Marc.

You know how people who excel at sport are generally rather Thick?..
yup. That's our boy.

anyway.. If you flip back through QOTW's til you get to "on the stage" you'll find outthe kind of school I went to.

Our house (boy's house with 60 or so lads) had a hairdresser who'd come on tuesday nights. We'd often get the chop, and sit chatting. Marc'd always come in his rugby gear, stinking and tryin to be big and muscly.... oh YES.. NOW I rememebr.. he used to stand infront o the mirro each morning, flex his muscles and say "that's not even TENSED" .. Sorry.... I digress.

erm... fat... stupid... Oh yes.. I remember... He'd hang around Julie the hairdressing lass and try to be smooth and cool. She always smiled politely and so on... She was geting good money.. best not piss off the punters.

Now clearly (To marc) he was a rugby player, really muscly (fat) and the head of the house. Ergo she MUST fancy him...

Clearly to Us... He was gunning for something that that his guns couldn't reach. He was 18 and a kid (as were we) and she was stunning and clearly not going to be single.

House party comes up... He decides to invite her. So... He manges to find her address in the phone book... borrows a bike (against the advice of the owner) and elects to ride the 7 miles out there to hand-deliver her invitation... He's dead sure it'll work.... after all... he plays rugby...

We're all pissing ourselves laughing.. we've all pointed out that he's going to crash and burn BADLY... but he won't listen. On asteroid-fuelled confidence boost, Marc heads off into the night to deliver the Invite.

I wasn't there, so I can't paint the picture accurately... However .. It seems her boyfriend opened the door, and he was NOT an 18 year-old kid like Marc. Julie appeared behind him... and Marc got told to bugger off, apparently with laughter ringing out behind him to hurry him home.

"Ignorange begets confidence more frequently than does knowledge". Charles Darwin...

Marc was obscenely confident.
