It's not so much an actual ritual but
I enjoy the streets of the city, and will take most opportunities to walk somewhere instead of taking public transport or a cab.

As such, my favourite time to do this is on a wet autumnal evening, or wet spring afternoon, when the rain is hammering down, and everything looks romantic and like it's the backdrop of a cool film noir picture.

Thus I like to pop the collar of my good leather jacket, screw my trilby tight to my head, and line up suitable tunes to walk to - stuff with a good rhythm, a dark, brooding sound, and interesting incidentals - Ultravox I find good, White Lies, some New Model Army, perhaps a little Cure, and some harder-edged digidub.

Now that I've given up smoking there's no longer a permanent fag set in my paw, but it enables me to push my hands deep into my coat pockets and pull it tight around me, as I head through the people and on to my destination, invariably composing bad poetry in my head, about love lost, and opression beneath the grey skies of England.

Would you
shag Kylie Minogue?

Yes, definitely and enthusiastically.
Next question.

No more
questions.

Well?
Do I get to do it, then? Or is this for the porpoise of some fantasy you have about me shagging Kylie Minogue?

Would you let Kylie do you with a strapon?

No.
As that would be gay.

Is it more or less gay
if she gives you a reach-around?

Remember to do it lengthways
