more recycled texts

I was emptying the phone memory, and threw these texts out. For the benefit of future social archaeologists, and inspired by Cap'n Kev the master recycler, they are preserved here, in chronological order I think. Blog regulars will know some of the folk.

  1. Albert? That's an awful lot of girlfriends. I didn't realise you were taking advantage of some many women. The fact you look so shagged out isn't such a puzzle anymore. Hope this helps. Hotboy

  2. Albert? I do not use that s.... word very often, but it seems to be the common parlance these days among young people of the opposite sex can be heard speaking to each other like that. Even the ones who aren't protestants. Do you think that this has enhanced or caused deterioration in the engagement of social intercourse? I'd like to know what you think. Hotboy

  3. Hotboy The above comment hasn't been written by a stoned person, has it? Hotboy

  4. Hotters. The shag word? I remember it seemed suddenly sexy the first time I heard a coven of upfront Scots babes using it. But I imagine it must be a bit of a bore nowadays if every second English - chavs I think you call them - is saying shag.

    As a man of letters, can you coin a more original term for it?

  5. Hotters. PS - I wonder if it's not so much the ubiquity of the word, but the casualness of the act, that is concerning? I've been following the debate in the Brit press about booze pricing.

    PPPS - actually I take that back. If only their daughters were girlfriends.
