SHE was quite sweet.

On the other hand he seemed a bit of a sweetie too, I wish I'd had the courage to do it properly instead of a sneaky hip-shot.

I MAY well be maligning the poor chap: he was very friendly, courteous, etc. But he sounded a bit as if you could trust him with your daughter (But maybe not your son.) Having said that I could quote a bloke I once knew (Married, with kids) who learned Karate for the simple reason that he sounded ''A bit 'that-way' inclined'' and was forced to defend himself against the, then frequent, Queer-bashers.

What you can't see, my fault through lack of courage, is ... numerous bits of metal around the face, that apparent cigarette extension is a full-length 3/8'', bright white soul-patch, the 1/4'' high curved line across the front of his head and the fact that the hole above his left shoulder is in fact a hole in his ear-lobe.

There were some fairish shots around Chester, but this wasn't likely to be seen again for a while, the others are.
