So, The Mary and I have decided to go a bit
upmarket this week and give The Blythswood Hotel the pleasure of our
company. It’s situated in a part of town
that has also been renowned for pleasure of a very different kind. I remember a time in the 70s when The Mary
and I were skint and we decided it might be a good idea to earn some fast
cash. We knew lots of girls who were
doing it and thought we’d give it a go.
Off we went with our robust energy and
enthusiasm like two eager little beavers.
Beavers are very keen and start having sex around the age of three.
That’s no right!
Well, the square was very quiet when we
arrived and within five minutes I needed to pee. There was no hiding place and we thought it
would be a bit of free advertising if I exposed my bits. So I
went right ahead on the edge of the kerb.
Like the wee fluffy beavers we did not last
long in the wild because prostitutes are a bit like beavers in that they are
highly territorial and before we knew it, we were surrounded by an overwhelming
stench of fish!
We got chased right down to George’s
square!
Anyway, beavers are mainly vegetarian and
both me and The Mary like a good, lean piece of meat.
They do like a bit of fish though as me and
The Mary will attest.
Joking aside though, for those who say the
sex trade is a job, a choice or a path of liberation, Katie’s story is worth reading.
She is a living example for those who
consider prostitution an act of violence against women.

at the Prestige Hotel Awards!
On arrival at the door Liam was charming
and ushered us into the restaurant like two Hollywood stars. The Sala was very chic and we had a table
near the window looking out onto the gorgeous square. The service was excellent and George told us
about Greece and he and The Mary totally excluded me from a conversation that
was all Greek to me anyway. Kasia, one
of our servers, was so charming and had the loveliest Liverpool accent. I could have listened to her all evening but
kept interrupting and The Mary had fallen asleep anyway.
Time for home and I have to say it was one
of the nicest and most welcoming evenings we have had for a long time!
Oh, the food was great and very good value
but for us it’s not about the food. Life
should be lived and experiences are much more valuable in the long run.
Thank you to Γεώργιος, Kasia, Neil, Liam
and anyone else we might have missed!
Till the next time.
