School panto fiasco






(a.k.a. complete prats in tights)

tuesday november 23rd

breakfast

Dad was singing, “Sex bomb, sex bomb, I’m a sex bomb, ” and doing hip thrusts round the kitchen. He’ll end up in casualty again if he’s not careful. He was being all interested in me as well. Red alert, red alert!

He gave me a hug (!) and said, “I thought we’d all go to the cinema tonight. My treat.”

I said, “Fantastic! ” He thought I meant it and went off happily to flood people’s homes or whatever it is he does at the Water Board.

I said to Mum, who was trying to get all the porridge out of Libby’s hair before she went off to kindergarten, “Mum, I can’t go to the cinema tonight, I…I’ve got to stay behind and help with…the school panto.”

She didn’t even look up. “I didn’t know you were in it.”

“I’m not, I’m just, er, helping backstage. ’Bye, Mutti. ’Byeeee, Bibbet.”

“’Bye-bye, Gingey, kiss Mr. Cheese bye-bye.”

It was disgusting kissing Mr. Cheese. (Mr. Cheese is a bit of old Edam in a hat.) Not as disgusting as it will be at the end of the day when Libby brings him home again from playschool. With a bit of luck Mr. Cheese will be eaten by one of Libby’s little pals.

I had a look at my pocket mirror as I walked round to Jas’s place. Eight out of ten on the hair bounceability front. I am sooo excited. I love the Sex God and it will be beyond fabulosity and into the Valley of Marv when we go on tour to America. I think I could easily write song lyrics myself.

I said that to Jas as we walked to school. “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, this one is called ‘Sex God’ and it goes like this: ‘Oh, Robbie, you’re the one for me, with your dark blue eyes and your…’”

I had a bit of writer’s block then and I said to Jas, “What rhymes with ‘me’? ”

“What about ‘two-timer’? Or ‘crap mate’? ”

“Jas, don’t start again…oh hang on, I know: ‘You’re the one for me, with your dark blue eyes and your…snogability!!! ’ I am clearly a genius.”

I put my arm round Jas in my happinosity and said, “You can show me your love bite when we get to Stalag 14.”

She went a bit red and said, “OK, but don’t tell anyone else about it.” Which is ironic coming from Radio Jas.

assembly

Slim really on tip-top boring form this morning.

She bored us beyond the Valley of the Dim and into the twilight world of the Elderly Mad.

Speaking of which, we saw Elvis Attwood tapping at pipes with his hammer as we went out.

I said to him, “I think you should receive a knighthood, Mr. Attwood, for your services to caretaking. Surely you of all people deserve to be hit over the shoulders with an old sword.”

10: 00 a.m.

What IS it with this place???!!! Rosie and I have got bad conduct marks AND have to stay behind and help with Peter Pan every night this week after school. I cannot believe it! Just because we have naturally high spirits and joie de vivre. (And also got caught doing our “Let’s go down the disco” dance to “There Is a Green Hill Far Away” in Assembly.)

It is so obviously hilarious. And not at all “indicative of stupendous childishness, ” as Hawkeye said.

10: 30 a.m.

Perhaps I am Spawn of the Devil in a skirt and have the third eye. No, I mean the second whatsit…sight. Because I told Mum that I was staying behind to help with Peter Pan, even though I wasn’t, and now I am. I may have special powers.

11: 00 a.m.

No, I haven’t got special powers. I tried for about a million years to make the wall clock fall onto Hawkeye’s head, but it just gave me a very bad headache.

in the loos

I said to Jas, “For once in the entire existence of humankind my hair has got bounceability and whatsit and I am on detention.”

She said, “Well, you shouldn’t be so silly.”

What is silly about disco dancing?

She wanted to show me her love bite, but I couldn’t summon up any interest.

r.e.

Miss Wilson has written on the board: “Relationships—what are the ingredients? ”

Good Lord, she would be the last to know, and also I don’t think I have ever seen anyone over the age of six months wearing a pink smock, apart from her. Has she really not got one single mate who would have said to her, “Put the smock in the bin and we will never mention it again”?

I wonder if I should make Naomi a little pregnancy smock. In the spirit of Christmas?

Rosie has made some dreadlocks for her pencil and stuck them on to the end of it. She wrote me a note: “As a Rastafarian he has strong views on religious freedom.”

I wrote back: “It’s a pencil, you fool.”

And she wrote: “That is what makes it even more remarkable.”

But we are only trying to cheer ourselves up because of the Peter Pan fiasco.

What am I going to do about the Sex God? He is supposed to meet me after school. I wrote to Jas: “If I tell SG I have been given detention duties helping complete prats into tights he will think I am a silly little schoolgirl.”

She wrote back: “You ARE a silly little schoolgirl.”

Cheers, thanks a lot. Good night.

last bell
3: 50 p.m.

I ran down the corridor to the cloakrooms and threw myself in front of the mirror. This was my plan: emergency makeup, dash to the school gates, quick snog, explain to Robbie about my unfair incarceration by the Nazis (but not exactly mention the “Let’s go down the disco” incident, in case it was construed as a bit on the childish side), another quick snog, possibly number four, then quick as a bunny back to the main hall before ten past four.

Pant, pant. Alors, alors. Mascara, lippy, lip gloss, rolly-over skirt, bouncey hair, bouncey hair.

Right. Ready for the Sex God in five minutes and thirty seconds. A new world record.

When I stepped out into the corridor, I walked straight into Hawkeye lurking like a piranha. Oh, Scheissenhausen.

She loomed over me. “Georgia, you are helping with the Christmas entertainment. Why does that require mascara? Remove it and go along to the main hall NOW! ”

I slunk back in the loos. This called for the famous getting-out-through-the-loo-window-and-jumping-onto-the-back-field routine. I almost decapitated two First Years getting out of the window, but I made it. I ran along the back field and then down fag-ash alleyway (so called because it is where the Bummers hang out) that runs between the Science block and…there he was, waiting for me. Sex God unleashed. He looked amazingly groovy. All the girls streaming out of the gates were eyeballing him as they went by. He said hi to Ali King and she practically evaporated on the spot.

After a quick suck in of the nostrils I sauntered out with an attractive air of casualosity and said, “Hi.”

Blimey, I’d managed to say something normal to him. That was a turn up for les livres. He smiled his smile and said, “Hi.”

He put his hand through my hair (feeling its incredible bounceability, probably) and leaned down and kissed me. Wow. I knew that everyone walking past us was looking, but I had my eyes closed. I did try slightly opening my eyes, but I could only see a big sort of blurry pink thing, which gave me a bit of a turn, until I realized it was my nose really close up.

4: 15 p.m.

Probably because I am such a kind and caring person, Jesus has decided to take me for His sunbeam by letting me off the hook. The Sex God told me that he had to go and have a conference call with some record people from Hamburger-a-gogo land and so he couldn’t see me tonight.

I feel a mixture of sadnosity and reliefosity, with just a hint of peckishness.

4: 30 p.m.

Rosie and I have the ridiculously sad task of helping the “cast” of Peter Pan into their costumes and sorting out the props. We are in charge of the “dressing room, ” or P.E. changing room, as the normal might call it. We have to hang everything up in order and on different pegs, whilst Miss Stamp dashes about “supervising.”

Wet Lindsay has got the leading part of Peter in Peter Pan, which I think is unfortunate casting, because she has to wear a green tunic and tights. She has got astonishingly sticklike legs. Also, for no good reason (other than I stole her boyfriend), she has taken against me. She wouldn’t have me as her little helper, so Rosie has to help her into her tights and so on. (Erlack.) Tragic Kate is Wendy in the show and I have to help her into her duff wig with plaits.

Hours of boredom stretch ahead. Will I never be free of this hellhole?

5: 10 p.m.

The SG will be talking to people in Hamburger-a-gogo land now.

6: 00 p.m.

I said to Rosie, “Do you and Sven talk a lot? ”

Rosie thought a bit. “Sven talks a lot.”

“What about? ”

“I haven’t got the faintest idea. He’s not, as you know, English. Reindeer, possibly.”

“Don’t you mind that all you do is snog? ”

“No.”

8: 00 p.m.

Home again, in the sanctity of my luurve boudoir.

Mon Dieu, how boring was the rehearsal? It was almost as boring as Dad’s stories about Kiwi-a-gogo land. Still, home at last and my bedroom is a Libby-free zone!

I haven’t listened to my dolphin CD for a bit. I think I will put it on and meditate on my inner me.

8: 10 p.m.

I don’t know who it is that thinks dolphins are soothing. It’s just squeak squeaky squeak.

8: 15 p.m.

I do feel a bit sorry for them, though, because they get all those depressed people insisting on swimming with them. It might cheer up the depressed people, but I bet it depresses the arse off the dolphins. They just want to go out with their mates for a laugh and no sooner do they start playing Chase the Cod or whatever, than all these miserable types come and hang around stroking their snouts and crying.

Or am I being a bit harsh?

8: 35 p.m.

Everyone out as usual, round at Uncle Eddie’s. God it’s boring being by yourself. I may be forced to do my blodge homework.

9: 00 p.m.

Rang Jas.

“Jas.”

“Quoi? ”

“What are you doing? ”

“Blodge homework.”

“Moi aussi. Are you drawing a hydra? ”

“Oui.”

“Have you drawn its wafting tentacles yet? ”

“Non.”

“I have. Also I have drawn in some cheesy whatsits being wafted in by its tentacles.”

“Hydras don’t eat cheesy whatsits. They are pond life.”

“That’s a bit rude, Jas.”

“It isn’t—it’s a biological fact.”

“OK, Jas, but have you considered this? Perhaps hydras don’t eat cheesy whatsits because no one has had the GOOD MANNERS to go down to the pond and offer them round! Don’t hydras deserve to be treated like human beings? ”

9: 15 p.m.

Oh, I am so bored!!

In my Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens it says: “Do something interesting and useful for others.”

9: 30 p.m.

I can get forty-eight little plaits in my hair.

9: 35 p.m.

It makes me look like a complete prat, though.

9: 40 p.m.

Phone rang!!

“Georgia.”

Yes and three times yes!!! It was Robbie.

The record company has done a deal with a big American company and they want The Stiff Dylans to go over there on tour. Wow.

Rang Jas and told her.

“What do you think I should wear to go on tour? You can never go wrong in black, can you? ”

“Your dad will never in a million trillion years let you go to America on tour with a band.”

“You will see, my little pal.”

10: 00 p.m.

I will miss my ace gang when I go off with the Sex God to America.

Mutti, Vati and Libbs all came home. Libbs said, “Heggo, Gingey, ” and put her little arms up for me to lift her up. There was the usual wrestling match trying to get her into her own bed but no spitting, thank goodness.

I will really miss her when I go on tour.

10: 15 p.m.

I went into the living room to talk to my dear old vati. I feel quite fond of him now I won’t be seeing him for much longer. He was lolling on the sofa watching TV, twirling his beard.

“Dad.”

“Hmm.”

“Er…you know…if I had a really good, life-changing experience offered to me, well…would you let me go? ”

He said, “What fool has offered to adopt you? ” And laughed like a bearded loon (which he is).

I went on with great dignosity. “Yes, very funny, Dad. Anyway, say I was invited to America—could I go? ”

“No.”

“Well, could I go to Paris on the school trip, then? ”

“I thought you hated Edith Piaf.”

“I do, but I aime very very much the other French people.”

Anyway, the long and the long of it is that I can go on the Paris trip. I gave Dad a little kiss on his cheek when he said yes, and he looked like his head was going to fall off with surprise. But I can be a very kind and caring person, especially if I am about three thousand miles away in a different country.

midnight

But this is only one string in my mistress plan. First Paris, France, and then Paris, Texas!!!

Howdy Hamburger-a-gogo types!!

friday november 26th

french

We’ve all signed up to go on the French trip to le gay Paree, apart from the Bummers (hurrah) and Nauseating P. Green and ADM (Astonishingly Dim Monica). P. Green and ADM are not allowed to go because their mums are worried about the drinking water being polluted in France, and also that they might lose their glasses. Which I think would be a plus.

Gorgey Henri was talking about the trip and sitting on his desk. Phwoar. I know that I am putting my red bottom aside with a firm hand but he is very groovy-looking.

When Gorgey Henri said, “I will show you…how you say…my EVERYTHING in Paris, ” I said, “Ooer, ” which made Rosie laugh uncontrollably for about five minutes.

4: 20 p.m.

Forced to stay behind again to help with the Peter Pan fiasco. I think it’s a crime against humanity to have to look at Wet Lindsay’s stick legs night after night. But can I explain that to lesbian of the modern world Miss Stamp? No. She is in a fever of excitement, adjusting costumes, and sending Nana the dog (a.k.a. Pamela Green) scampering around. P. Green is alarmingly good as a dog. I may teach her some amusing tricks.

backstage
6: 00 p.m.

Backstage, rifling through the props box, because Tinker Bell (played by Melanie Andrews, 48DD in the basooma department) broke her wand when Nana leapt up at her by mistake.

I said to Rosie, as we rummaged around trying to find another one, “Do you think it’s awfully wise to let Melanie Andrews loose on stage? ”

Rosie said, “No, I don’t. She’s not small, is she? What if her enormous basoomas make her topple over and she kills a first former? ”

I said, “I think in our capacity of backstage staff we should ban her on health and safety grounds.”

tuesday november 30th

The Stiff Dylans are rehearsing every night. Robbie said I should come along and listen at the weekend when they are doing their new set. I think I should take an interest in my new life. I could make some suggestions about lyrics and so on.

saturday december 4th

Sven and the lads have organized a nature ramble tomorrow afternoon. I asked Rosie, “What does that mean? ”

“Well, you know, we ramble off to the park and then we snog.”

I can’t go, though, because I am going to go to rehearsal with The Stiff Dylans. They have a mini-tour of Scotland and Wales just after Chrimbo. Then they will be cutting their new album. Man. That is not what the album is called. That is just what pop-type people say.

I rang Jas to tell her. “The Stiff Dylans are cutting a new album, man.”

“Why is it called Man? ”

Sometimes when I talk to Jas I can feel the will to live ebbing away.

sunday december 5th

Remind me never to go to a band rehearsal again. It is soooooo boring watching other people do stuff. And talking about themselves. And me not being in it. I just sat at the back and nodded my head for about a million years.

Also, I believe the rest of the lads think I’m a bit weird. I don’t know why. I have always been the height of sophisticosity around them. Well, apart from when Dom, the drummer, asked me what I was going to do at college and I said, “Backup dancing.”

Oh and also when I danced around at a gig in front of Dom’s dad because I thought he was an American talent spotter, but he wasn’t. He was just Dom’s dad waiting to help them pack up. And he thought that I was trying to get off with him.

But apart from those two minor hiccups I have been sophisticosity all round, I like to think.

Anyway, here is a brief resume of my glorious night:

a) nodded my head for a million years

b) sat on a drum kit in the van on the way home

c) lost my balance and put my foot through the bass drum

d) had to be dropped off first because I had to be in by ten o’clock on a school night

Double merde.

At least when I have to do the boring old panto stuff I can have a bit of artistic license with Rosie.

I wonder how the nature snog went. I suppose Dave the Laugh went with Ellen.

I don’t think that The Stiff Dylans think I am full of maturiosity. I think they think I am the Yoko Ono of the band and that I will split them up.

monday december 6th

I can’t believe the poo-osity of my life. Hawkeye said that as “a special treat” Rosie and I could help backstage at the panto every night until the final performance.

Hawkeye is without a doubt a sadist and ex–prison warden. And probably a man.

panto rehearsals

I taught Nauseating P. Green to catch a mini Mars in her mouth from four feet. She is taking this dog business alarmingly seriously. She even brought me a stick, but as I said to Rosie, “I draw the line at tickling her tummy.”

Wet Lindsay was trying to take her tights off by herself when she lost her balance and nearly crashed into the sanitary towel dispenser. It really cheered me up. She got the mega-hump when I was laughing and doing my impression of her crashing about stuck in a pair of tights. Which was vair vair amusing but old Tiny Forehead didn’t think so. After calling me “a pathetic little twit” she stomped off into a stall to get changed.

However, as any fool knows, I am the mistress of invention and with the aid of my compact mirror I was able to look under the door of the stall. I made Rosie come and have a look in the mirror because she didn’t believe that Wet Lindsay wears a thong in real life. But she had to believe the evidence of her own peepers when she saw the thong nestling in Wet Lindsay’s bum-oley. RoRo had to have a reviving chewy fruit before she could speak again. Then she said, “I am very sensitive, you know. That sort of thing may ruin my chances of becoming a vet.”

So all is well that ends well.

10: 00 p.m.

Our house had been a relatively loon-free zone, but it was too good to last. Uncle Eddie was round tonight. As usual, he came balding into my room with one of his hilarious “jokes.” He said, “Can a cross-eyed teacher control her pupils? ” And looned off laughing like a bald loon.

10: 15 p.m.

Robbie phoned and he didn’t mention the bass drum incident, which is a plus. He said, “What have you been up to, sex kitty? ”

Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

midnight

I do feel like a bit of a French Resistance person, though, because I only see Robbie sort of in secret. There is no normal stuff with him. I said that to Rosie, and she said, “What do you call normal? ”

“Well, you and Sven, you see each other all the time and you must do normal stuff.”

She just looked at me. “Have you met Sven? ”

Hmmm, she has a point. Jas and Tom do normal stuff, though. In fact, they act like they have been married for about a trillion years. I’m not saying I want to be as boring as Jas and Tom—collecting frog spawn and doing homework together is too tragic for words. But what do you do with Sex Gods? Besides snog and worship them, I mean.

thursday december 9th

Opening night of the panto. When the audience started clapping to prove they believed in fairies, Tinker Bell flew out of control and crashed against the back piece of scenery, which fell over to reveal Miss Stamp having a fag. Very funny indeed, I thought.

And much less boring than watching Peter Pan prancing around in green tights.

9: 50 p.m.

Something quite alarming happened tonight. I was just sneaking off from the dressing room when Nauseating P. Green came bounding along, still with her dog ears on. And she had her mum, who is not unblessed in the huge glasses department, with her. They were both blinking at me and following me out of the door. Like two giant goldfish in skirts.

P. Green said, “I told Mum that you were the one who really helped me with my dog tricks.”

Mrs. Nauseating P. Green said, “It’s really nice that Pamela and you are such good friends. Would you like to come round to our house on Christmas Eve? We do round robin storytelling and dress up.”

I said, “Hrrmmmmm…Oh, is that the time, I must dash! ” And made a desperate bid for freedom.

As we walked home, Rosie said, “She loves you very very much. You are her bestest pal.” Good grief.

friday december 10th

Christmas frenzy mounting. I put some tinsel around my sports knickers for that little festive touch in P.E. Miss Stamp for once did not have a nervy spaz, which was a bit scary. Things soon got back to normal in Latin, though, because Hawkeye made us take the false snow (cotton wool) off our heads.

wednesday december 15th
last day of term

Hurrah!!! Thank you, thank you, Baby Jesus!!! Free, free at last!

last german lesson

We were all a bit on the hysterical side. I think the teachers must have been out for a pre-Christmas beverage, if you know what I mean, because Herr Kamyer told us an incomprehensible joke about a Swiss cheese (please don’t even ask) and then laughed for about forty years. AND as we were going down the corridor we bumped into Gorgey Henri.

“Merry Noë l, ” I said to him and he kissed my cheek and said, “Merci, au revoir. I look forward to ’aving you all again in the New Year.”

Which made us apopletic with laughter. I thought I might have to throw a bucket of cold water over Rosie and Jools.

Henri smiled at us and said, “You are so crazee.” Then he walked off in his groovy gravy jeans.

“Gorgey Henri is quite literally…gorgey, ” I said. “He is yummy scrumboes and also…”

Rosie said, “Scrummy yumboes? ”

“Mais oui.”

6: 30 p.m.

Last night of the panto. Mucho excitemondo (not).

Miss Stamp bought Coca-Cola and cakes for the cast as an end-of-show party thing. Unfortunately the little cakes were saying, “Eat me, eat me, you know you want to, ” and so Rosie and I were enticed by them. We only ate a few, but Hawkeye noticed and now we are banned from the party. Quel dommage (not).

8: 00 p.m.

Peter and the rest of the ridiculous Lost Boys are poncing around on stage. I may have to eat myself soon, I am so bored. I wonder where the Sex God is now? And if he is thinking about me. I wonder if he thinks about me as many times a minute as I think about him.

I’ve had to pretend that I am in training for hockey every night this week. Somehow, even though I believe that the only good relationship is an open and honest one, I can’t bring myself to tell him that I am helping people into tights.

8: 10 p.m.

Rosie found something trè s trè s magnifique in a props basket at the back of the store cupboard—theatrical fur. Fake fur that you stick on with a special glue and you can make beards and sideburns and so on with it.

8: 25 p.m.

Rosie and I have to be on duty at the side of the stage, handing things over to Wendy and Peter and Captain Hook and so on when they come off. They are all sooo excited. And theatrical. Wet Lindsay just shouts orders like “Sword! ” or “Panstick! ” if she has to have her stupid shiny forehead touched up. It’s VERY annoying, and boring beyond even the Valley of Boredom.

But now we have introduced the theatrical fur into the proceedings. Every time one of us has to go and get something from backstage we stick on a bit of theatrical fur, but just carry on doing our tasks as normal.

8: 45 p.m.

At first we had a sort of six o’clock shadow effect, but by the final curtain we had entered properly into the spirit of hairiness. Rosie had big furry hands and sideburns and I had one huge eyebrow right across my forehead. And no one noticed!!! Too busy admiring themselves to notice that two teenage werewolves were handing them their props. Very very funny.

Rosie and I were nearly dead from laughing by the time the curtain came down. The cast went out front to talk to their parents, still in their ridiculous outfits, even Nana. In fact, if I was P. Green’s mum I would be worried about ever getting her out of her dog costume.

Whilst they did that we sneaked off home. I have rarely seen anything as funny as Rosie in her school uniform and beret with HUGE sidies and furry hands.

Luckily I managed to skedaddle home without seeing anyone I knew.

bed

It took me about a year to get my eyebrow off. In the end I had to use nail polish remover. I’ve practically removed my forehead.

I must get plenty of beauty sleep and regrow my forehead because I am seeing my boyfriend this weekend. It’s only one hundred and eighty hours until he leaves for the Isle of Man with his family for Christmas. And fifty-six of those will be spent sleeping. Unless Libby visits my bed.

saturday december 18th
churchill square

Out with the ace gang shopping for Chrimbo presents and lurking around hoping to bump into lads. We were just having a rest on a wall when the Bummers came sauntering past. Jackie Bummer was dressed completely in leather. Leather skirt, jacket, boots, coat…all of it nicked, I bet. She is like a walking crime wave. As a decent citizen I should turn her over to the Old Bill; however, I have my principles and I will never be a snitcher. Especially as snitchers can end up on the wrong end of a duffing incident.

Jackie looked at us like we were snot on legs and said, “Have to dash, little girls, only six shoplifting days till Christmas.”

God, they are soooo common and tarty.

4: 00 p.m.

At home with my thoughtful Chrimboli gift. I hope Dad appreciates the ENORMOUS lengths I went to to get him some new socks. I had to wander around very old people’s shops for ages to find anything suitable.

5: 00 p.m.

I wonder why I haven’t heard from SG yet? I’ve got eight outfits on standby duty and have applied undercoat foundation but it’s very tense-making not knowing what is going on.

living room

Mutti and Vati wrestling about tickling each other. Vati had a very alarming pair of jogging trousers on. I suppose it’s nice that they are so affectionate, but I don’t like to think of certain people snogging. The Queen, for instance. Imagine the Queen getting to number seven with Prince Philip…erlack. Or Herr Kamyer with Hawkeye…erlack, erlack! Or Mr. and Mrs. Next Door in the nuddy-pants.

I must stop this and think of something normal. I might have to go and rub myself with salt to get myself clean again.

Mutti said, “Oh, by the way, when you were in town that really good-looking boy came round. What’s his name? ”

My face had gone all rigid.

Mutti went on. “You know, the older Jennings boy…he’s in that band you go to see…is it The Bob Wilsons or something? ”

The Bob Wilsons!!! OhmyGod, ohmyGod. I must go to my room immediately.

As I left the room Mutti said, “I thought he was really tasty. He said would you ring him.”

Then Vati got hold of her and he was sort of tickling her with his beard and growling like a lion in jogging trousers.

bedroom

The Sex God has seen my dad’s beard and trousers. He has been exposed to my family. He might even have spoken to Libby. She may have mentioned poo. Will he ever forgive me?

Phoned the Sex God.

“Hi.”

“Er, Robbie, I’m really, really, really sorry about my parents, they’re just…you know…I’m really sorry.”

He laughed. “Your dad is quite cool.”

“Pardon? ”

sunday december 19th

Went to band rehearsal again. I have perfected the art of head-nodding and doing my nails at the same time. Dom was looking at me a bit funny, especially as he caught me nodding along to the music when they weren’t actually playing any. But at least he has been able to mend his drum. You can still see a slight foot shape in it, though, which in my opinion adds a hint of je ne sais quoi to an otherwise ordinary drum kit. At the end the other lads’ girlfriends turned up. Mia said hi to me and then, “We’re going to the Phoenix bar, are you coming? ”

Robbie said, “Well, I’m a bit shattered so we won’t.” But I knew he really meant that I was officially too young to go.

It’s a shame that my internal maturiosity is not recognized by the constabulary.

monday december 20th

I haven’t had much time to see the ace gang as I have been hanging out with Robbie. How cool is that? Double cool with knobs, that is how cool. Sometimes we talk in between snogging. Well, mostly he talks because I think it is safer that way, and besides I have lots of other things to worry about whilst he is chatting on about The Stiff Dylans and world peace and so on. Things like avoiding nostril flair, or nip nip eruption, or even, as happened the other night, uncontrollable desires to start “Let’s go down the disco” dancing when he put some classical music on.

Rang Jas to catch up. “Hey. What has the ace gang been up to? ”
