Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Sigue Sigue SputnikShe was beautiful.
She worked in the boutique next door to my parents shop. Her name was Astrid but she liked to be called Kris and I desperatlely wanted to introduce her to the business end of my little fella.
Only trouble was - she was a mad fan of Sigue Sigue Sputnik. For those lucky enough not to remember the Sputniks, they were a god-aweful late 80's band doing a kind of early rock/electronica cross-over, in very silly costumes. Really, really bad.
So I bought 2 tickets to see them at the Astoria in London.
I eventually plucked up the courage to phone her up and ask if she would like to go with me. She politely declined. Bollocks.
She was aparently already going with her sister. Fair enough. Maybe if I still went, I might bump into her. She would be so impressed that I too was a proper fan that she would no doubt beg me to invaginate her there and then!
And so it was that I drove all the way down to London and went to see one of the worst bands in history just to try to impress a girl. I went to the front and danced and jumped about like I really was a fan, hoping that she might see me or I might see her, but it was all to no avail. I even bought a SSS t-shirt (which was a hideous bright yellow) and wore it around the village for months afterwards proudly showing off to all what a proper Sputnik fan I was.
I never did get in her knickers, and I looked a proper cunt in that t-shirt.

I don't know..."Love Missile F1-11" is a chilling tale of nuclear apocalypse and eighties guns and gore flicks.
