Heavy Cruiser
I was at The Hoist last night, which was great, but afterwards there was a long wait for a train home, and I was cold and shivering. I knew I would have to wait, so I had taken my glasses and a paperback with me, but it was too cold for me to take my hands out of my pockets, so I couldn’t read. So, to pass the time I had some chips, then some tea, and then a donut, and then I allowed some chap to chat me up. He was looking at me and I was looking at him. Eventually he stood next to me. Then closer. And closer still, so close that we were touching. Then he said “have you got the time”, which made me giggle. Anyway, we chatted a bit. He asked me where I’d been, but I was playing hard to get and just said “Where do you think I’ve been?” He guessed correctly, so I asked him what sort of places he went to, and he rattled off the names of half dozen sleazy establishments in south London, all of which (to my shame) I know well. He asked me what I was into, besides camouflage, so I said “Doctor Who” and took “The Day of the Daleks” out of my pocket to show him, which made he roar with laughter.Last modified: Monday, June 15th, 2026 at 4:20pm
