by name and by nature
Picture the scene, a dreary nightshift on a dying newspaper in the Athens of the North with only the lowing of the farming subs to keep us awake until the pub break at midnight.

Then enter Kenny with a tale that kept us entertained until we got across to the Jingler for a strong continental lager or three.

He had passed, in a shop doorway, two gentlemen enjoying each other's company in the manner of the Biblical settlement of Sodom. The best bit was that "the bottom" was determinedly holding onto ... a doner kebab.

Cue gags aplenty about meat content and tossing salad.

The hungry lad could not have chosen a more appropriate street for chilli sauce related houghmagandy: it was Cockburn Street.
