"Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me….You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on", "An announcement: I am up for it, all the time. That is not a boast or an opinion, it is bone hard medical fact. I put it round you know. And you will watch me putting it round and sigh for it. Don't, It is a deal of trouble for you and you are better off watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance. Ladies, do not despair, I am up for that as well. And the same warning applies. But later when you shag – and later you will shag, I shall expect it of you and I will know if you have let me down…Feel how it was for me, how it IS for me, and ponder. 'Was that shudder the same shudder he sensed? Did he know something more profound? Or is there some wall of wretchedness that we all batter with our heads at that shining moment?!' ……That is it. That is my prologue… I do not want you to like me.." -Stephen Jeffreys…………………………………(SUBMISSIONS TO kvanrade@gmail.com)
