The Equation of life....
If you have had more fun than 4 normal people in your life so far then logically you would be 46 x4 = 184yrs
add on a ‘Boys adventure tale’ bonus score of 20yrs
factor in a lack of guilt, regret, conscience at least another 15yrs
you would be kicking 200….
Unfortunately because of all of the above you only remember about 2% of what you have done…
Leaving you regret...
Happy the man who, like Ulysses, has made a fine voyage, or has won the Golden Fleece, and then returns, experienced and knowledgeable, to spend the rest of his life among his family!

The Prologue
Should the fact that when one walks into the wind your hair does not move with the oncoming Welsh gale but in fact tilts your whole head back at a forty five degree angle bother you? Or do you content yourself with the fact that baring a direct strategic nuclear strike on your forehead everything is in fact well, with the world that you inhabit and exist in.
But I digress this is not a mere story...

More of chapter 4
At that point the house lights came up, embarrassed looks were exchanged and alcohol brought couples together for what would most probably be the first and last date in a line of one night stands. It was alright though cause tonight was Friday and they would all do it again tomorrow. Right now decisions had to be made. Kebab or chips for those on foot, your place or mine for those who had hit it...

Later in Chapter 4
Dominic drew heavily on his silk cut and launched into the next track whilst scanning the crowd for potential groupies, thinking to himself that the crowd would love the next track.
“Woo Cobham this one’s called Strap On!”
Ohhh strap it on lah lah lah
With your legs in the air
Strap it on strap it on!
The chorus belted out from the speakers and Dom’s attention was taken...

Watch
Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.

Chapter 4
The bondage night, Vicar and Tart combo evening mix up at the Drunken Ferret hadn’t turned into a disappointment and was just reaching the interesting phase of the night when Jilted Boyfriend took to the stage in what was now a rather drunk, strap and wimple clad, pub. The tarts were trying to get...
