Apparently if you're a rent boy you don't get furlough pay, and the two younger men in the local cruising zone have the characteristic mix of allure, threat and desperation which characterises their profession. The older men are looking for it but not thinking of paying for it, or else they would have got it by now.
Elsewhere in Digbeth the clubbing set are the most sober they have been for years and sunbathing at times of day they previously didn't know existed. I start my new job on Tuesday and am nearly as ready as I am going to be. I just need to trim my claws so they don't clatter on the floor.

I pop into the dogs home (just round the corner) and get them to do them.
