The one and only time I ever slept in halls during Uni….
I had just started seeing a lad from the North East but we could only catch up with each other at the weekends, so my friends decided I needed a night out to enjoy myself…..

One particular friend, Kathy, was rather partial to young soldiers (this was a garrison town….with a regiment from the North East coincidentally). So we go out around town only going to pubs full of squaddies (um, all of them). Kathy finds her current shag-group (yes, she had a whole gang of them that she changed as often as her knickers) and I soon find myself chatting to a very nice chap by the name of Ned…..

Five or so glasses of wine later we make our way back towards Uni – I am by now staggering just slightly and keep offering to show my stocking-tops (why I drink I’ll never know…it always ends up like this….). Kathy decides that now would be a good time to attempt to push me through Dixons’ shop window as her partner for the evening is very keen to see said stocking-tops, as is Ned…..Argument sorted out – I had to kiss and make up with her as she was the one with a spare room….

We get back to Kathy’s room and fortunately her (awful) roommate has gone home for a few days so I can stay in her room….Ned joins me and most of the night is great fun – I do remember pretty much all of it, but the gymnastics did make me feel a little queasy…fortunately the room had a sink….

A little sleeping was done, not much, but a little…..

Anyway, a day or so later the roommate returns and falls out big time with Kathy – no one had thought to empty the bin in her room and she guessed someone had used her bed….But that was the least of my troubles……Met up with Ned, he and I were still getting on like a house on fire until Kathy mentioned the lad I was seeing already…..

Firstly it turned out they came from the same town and had mutual friends, not good – so I couldn’t see him again….and secondly I found out that ‘apparently’ Ned was far, far more innocent than he appeared to be…..either that or I am amazingly good at leading young men astray…….
