Rowan, at 02:20 on May 26 1995, you wrote to Bill Grimsley...

rc> I may be 21 but that doesn't mean I can't be incredibly hormonal still.

BG> True, you young buggers have an excess of testosterone at your age.

rc> I generally don't consider myself that 'young', but in the 
rc> presence of your good self I will concede. ;-)

It has oft been said that you're as young or as old as you feel.  I can
tell you now, it ain't true.  Don't believe it.

rc> Why, I just got back from several hours of dancing next to sweaty bodies.

BG> Presumably female?  |-)

rc> There are guys on the dancefloor, but I ignore 'em and they ignore me. 
rc> We're happy to leave it at that.
    ^^^^^
You sure might be, but I'd be worried about some of the others.

rc>> I might add that coming home at 2:30am is EARLY for me.

BG> Does it still take you that long to score?  Try harder boy.

rc> Perhaps I don't like one night stands.

Why "perhaps" ?  Aren't you completely sure yet ?  |-)

rc> That's why I'm after your daught^H^H^H^H^H^X^X^X^X^X^Cforget that.

In time, I likely will.  Say 20 years or so...

rc> There was a female there who has been showing interest in me (the past 3 
rc> times I've been there; she cornered me on my way out the door last week), 
rc> unfortunately she is significantly older than 20, perhaps 30 or older.

BG> So what's the problem then?  When I was 21, I used to love 30 year old 
BG> women (and yes, I DO mean literally).  They sure taught me a lot...

rc> Not interested in older women, not THAT old anyway. 

It's all relative, Ro.  To me, a 30 year old woman is bloody YOUNG !!

rc> She's got wrinkles. Yuk.

Um, Ro, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but that part of
their anatomy in which you're likely most interested is ALWAYS wrinkled,
regardless of their age.  It just tastes differently as they age, that's
all.  |-)

rc> Eeuuuughhh, and she looks it too. ;-) So that's why I'm home earlier.

BG> Yeah, I suppose all 30 year olds look ancient when you're only 21, but 
BG> don't forget that you still have the option of keeping your eyes closed.  

rc> Or drinking more and hoping it will make her look better ...

Yeah, there's always that option, I guess...

rc> (It never works)

Are you absolutely certain about that?  Works fine for me.  |-)

rc>> I don't think we'll be going back to that nightclub for a while.

BG> Dunno, sounds pretty good to me.  Where exactly is it, BTW ?  |-)

rc> The club or the woman sounds good? =) 

Nightclubs leave me cold, but women...

rc> It's the Factory nightclub, a nice little club next to the Exhibition 
rc> Buildings here in Melbourne.

Is that anywhere near my old ex-Navy stamping grounds at the Southern Cross
Hotel?  I think it's much the same area, from memory.

rc> ... what if your daughter moves interstate? There's hope yet. ;-)

BG> Haven't you noticed yet that Melbourne is a city from which 
BG> people emigrate, not migrate to?  You might all be silly, but 
BG> you're not stupid.  :)

rc> Perhaps I can find some other way to entice your daughter. What does she 
rc> like in a man? Roses? Chocolates? A large penis?  ;-)

Last I heard, her preference was a wallet which needed a pair of Bill Gates
trousers in which to fit it.  Not unlike her mother, as it happens.  NFSE.

Regards, Bill
