Yes, how did you guess?
'Cause last time you were really impressed
And, I'm bolder, c-c-cold, gettin' colder
And, at the very same time, I heat up at a party
And, sold her, but, not with solar power
For far too long made mistakes
And, allowed a fat and ugly thing get in my way
Now I'm suitable an MC, I'm no in-between
Top-of-the-rank like Pearl and Dean
And, if you can't take the heat get outta the kitchen!
Any other post-pub-posters in da house!?!?!

The rest of them will settle down in a few weeks, when they realise they're running out of beer tokens and they are there to work.
Neither are most of them going to Uni on the back of a life-shaping European adventure.

Therefore, if you've gone out and worn a bit less, you'll be surrounded by people in a similar position and because everyone is out and drinking, there is more confidence in the air, ergo, you meet more people.

I'd been strolling by the Ouse in York- a marvellous early Autumn day in September. The leaves were bronzing, the ducklings were grown and the water was brown.
There's something about that time of year that makes me feel intensely sad whilst reminding me that there are better times to come, the knowing that it's a mirror image of early spring, but with the heartache that comes with winter still to come, a heartache ahead of me that I could not avoid.
But I digress.
There was an early morning mist and I could see him approaching, his tweed slacks were the perfect riposte to the browns and oranges of the season and his tan brogues were the obvious accessory. He carried a hessian two-handled bag, like a doctor in the '50s. What it contained I could only guess, though to put my mind in such a place would be dangerous for a man like me.
As we approached each other on the lonely riverside path a number of thoughts coursed through my mind. Who was he? Why was he here at this time in the morning? What did he want? Horrified, I noticed that his gait had become visibly more purposeful as Scarborough Bridge came into his line of sight.
I felt in my inside pocket for my packet of Rolos, fingered its sweet curve and felt reassurance move through me like a wave.
By now I could make out features- a slightly wonky mouth, sneaky eyes and a roundness to his face that suggested Arbroath Smokies and Scotch pies simultaneously. I froze as he finally reached me.
He stretched out an upper limb, grasped my hand in his.
I looked down at my palm in the hazy morning sunlight.
In my hand were four passport pictures. His leering face shone out, tempting and goading me as I admired his comb over.
The stranger leaned his breast into mine, exhaled with the stench of marmite on his breath and whispered to me:
'Happiness...is a cigar called Hamlet.'
As he moved further down the path I took a moment to let his words sink in.
Their meaning seeped in to my cortex.
I nodded to the virile stranger (though his back was turned), saluted a passing moorhen and made my way home along the foggy, lonely banks of the Ouse.

“Pass me my squeezebox”.
“You what Richard? Your squeezebox?”
The Twin looked at me like I’d just done a poo on his best curtains and told me that yes, he wanted his squeezebox. Something to do with a tune.
The man’s a nutter- he’s my milkman and lives in a run down house near the ring road. This one time down the pub he’d been on the Gold Label, got drunk and puked in an ashtray- we’d never seen such chunky vom. The landlord got him to his feet and promptly barred him.
Later that day, during a hurried game of Dynamite Dan on my beloved Spectrum Plus 2 128k, I got a phone call.
It was the police.
They’d found him naked and painted blue, wandering near the woods. He was in the car, they were on their way round here.
They arrived at the door. Richard was blue and had a copper’s helmet covering ‘Stephen and the Twins’. He shivered, looked down the length of his nose, winked at me and continued squinting at me through his left eye.
I signed the paperwork and sent the policemen on their way.
“Such nice fellows!” I thought to myself.
Richard farted and told me he could read my thoughts. Nerds would never be reintroduced in sweetshops- Jawbreakers may have made a long overdue return, but Nerds, well, Nerds was a no fly zone for sweets fans.
I’d been thinking about crisps- Discos in fact, and the strangely named Frisps. He was close with sweets so I let the mistake pass.
I shed a tear and put the kettle on.
I returned and he was mumbling. Cheesesocks? Jeyecloths? What was it? I leaned in closer. Squeezebox!
I passed it to him, gave him my housekeys and turned my back on him.
I never saw my milkman again.
