Man who hates clubbing goes clubbing to meet women who hate clubbing

A MAN who loathes dancing with sweaty strangers in a dark room has gone to a club to meet women who would rather be anywhere else. 

In his ongoing quest to meet a girl who is likewise sick of questing, Tom Booker paid £12 plus drinks for the polar opposite of his idea of fun, hoping to encounter single women disgusted with what they have become.

Booker said: “I am clubbing in spite of myself. Look! Look at me pretend it’s fun!

“It’s not just that I hate the music and despise awkwardly shuffling to a club mix of Hot To Go, I’m also here with friends I dislike while wearing clothes that don’t reflect the real me. Please, see beyond this mauve polo shirt.

“Women love it when you fake your whole personality, right? And they love to do the same, as I’ve learned from exes, so logically this place should be jumping with bookish types with framed Kandinsky posters.

“This is what dating is about: subjecting yourself to experiences you hate to hook up with someone also there in spite of themselves so you never have to buy £16 expresso martinis again. Then you have kids.”

Fellow clubber Lucy Parry said: “Tom’s in the right place. Every woman in here is acting the party girl while our eyes say ‘please, take me to a farmer’s market.’”

New Pulp album largely about erectile dysfunction

AN acclaimed new album by Pulp focuses on the age-appropriate subject of erectile dysfunction for nine of its 11 tracks. 

More, the first album by the Britpop stalwarts since 2001, has reconnected with their now middle-aged audience with songs about not being able to get it up, not realising it’s no longer erect until she says something, and buying Cialis from the girl at the pharmacy.

Fan Nathan Muir said: “I don’t know how he’s done it, but Jarvis is back to saying what the whole nation is feeling again.

Blue Diamond Blues, the seventh track about popping a Viagra on a night out to surprise the wife when you get home only to suffer heart palpitations in the taxi and discover she went to bed at 10pm leaving you with an unyielding stonk-on, could be taken from my own life.

“How has he caught the zeitgeist so well? Literally everyone I know has been through the experience of losing a stiffy when you’re so distracted by sex you can’t remember where you were in the Pornhub video you’re re-running in your head. He’s made poetry out of it.

“Honestly, I think Back On The Slack is the new Common People. And the listeners of 6Music feel the same.”

Jarvis Cocker said: “I am an observer, peeking through the windows of ordinary lives. I don’t suffer from it. Mine’s so hard you could use it to open jars.”
