Some of us have actually managed to grow up and don’t need to force chemicals into our faces o
to have a ‘fun’ time. My anti-drug is wankers like you.

If you’ve ever tried to tell a woman that they’ve had too much drink/gak and are acting the giddy goat, then they turn on you like a mid-90s pit bull.

And Steve? Can you write some feature for the mag please? As Michael Caine in Alfie said, it’s got a bit poncified recently. It’s also lost its sense of humour since you, Quirk and Bell stopped writing.

Anyone with any sense can see that him and his missus were having a bit of a wild night in that went wrong - ‘An open and shut case’ to quote Steve Beale. I’ve never really touched the stuff because it doesn’t interest me so I can’t say that ‘I have been there’. As much as I enjoy reading about metropolitan types spending their evening screwing £5000 a night escorts out of their minds on uncut coke and Cristal Champagne - the reality is that most blokes prefer to stay in with a cup of tea and watch a WWII doc on The History channel. He has, albeit unfortunately fallen on his own sword.

He is still sinister looking whatever you say.

You sound like those fuckwits that appear on some local inbred news item, where they speak to the neighbours of someone who has just had a body dug out of their back garden. I bet you’re the type of people that read (or probably just looks at the pictures) of a red top tabliod, see a police mugshot of someone that they are questioning for a murder and say something moronic like ‘look at his eye’s, you can just see the evil in them’.

I’m the most non violent person you could meet, but if you have me intensivly questioned for 12hours by the cops, deprive me of sleep, then take a photo of me in some badly lit room holding a sign with my name and number on and then print my image below some sensationalist headline, of course I’m going to look like some mass murdering serial repist nonce.

Rant over.

My sympathy goes out to the guy, I’ve been there, fortunately it didn’t end as badly for me, but I promise you, its not a nice place.

I do agree with the ‘Out-of-it women are near-impossible to control’ quote - that made me laugh anway…

Unrelated to the article (which I agree with entirely) but if it’s common amongst Arena and friends that the above can only be managed with a large quantity of drugs then next month’s issue should include an article about how the modern male and female can pull their heads out of their arses and get a grip.

Are you on the wrong website? Flippancy and city life are trademarks of this blog.

Honest to God I don’t mind that you think my speil is ‘metropolitan’ or ‘idiotic’. I have never been Thomas Hardy. But the charge of being ‘ironic’ does sting. There is no humour or double meaning here - I sincerely feel sorry for Mark Speight over the assumption that the death of his girlfriend after a cocaine binge is somehow ‘his fault’. Moreover, it points to the wider issue of continuing double standards over equality - which I presume is a fitting subject for a men’s magazine.

As Margret Thatcher said, “I’m enjoying this”. Anyone else want to have a pop, like maybe over the Transsexuals or the man-boobs?
