ext time you are out at a club sharking about for a member of the opposite sex to ravish, or slipping like a greased fish through the sweat-slick crowds to find the right place to disgorge the swollen gourd of your bladder, pay close attention to your surroundings. Does the music dip low when you need to speak to someone? Is each toilet cubicle pristine enough to make snorting Charlie from the loo seat seem in any way glamorous? Do people on the dance floor part as you walk through as if you are Disco Jesus? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then you are probably a fictional character in a movie. And a bad one at that. Get seriously worried if you wake up the next day sans any identifiable symptoms of a hangover and lying next to that coiffed creature you had your eye on. It’s probably time to look out for the camera and production staff arranged at the foot of the bed.
