Time was, if a gentleman stranger asked you for a cigarette, there was a good chance he was actually looking to start a conversation.

These days, prices being what they are, it usually means they're actually looking for a cigarette.

Increasingly guilty as I am made to feel about the habit, however, I'm damned if I can see any reason to dish out over 50p-worth of nicotine to a complete stranger without at least some kind of mild flirtation in return.

And so it was, slightly drunk, that when a not-unattractive young man came up to me in BarCode the other night and asked for a cigarette, I heard myself smilingly (slurringly) responding "Yes of course. But, come on, you have to work for it. Offer to suck my cock, give us a snog, at least pay me some small compliment!"

He looked a little taken aback, thought for a moment, grimaced, leant forward, sighed and muttered "..you seem like quite a nice old person."

Won't be trying that one again any time soon.

The Dutch 'Integration Minister' Rita Verdonk must have been pleased with the amount of column inches she garnered with her announcement that she planned to investigate where and when the burka should be banned, on grounds of public safety.

She must also be hoping that not many people read to the bottom of the story, where most newspapers pointed out that if there was a security problem, it was hardly overwhelming:

"Mohamed Hamidi, spokesman for Rotterdam's Moroccan community, said: 'There are not many people who wear burqas: maybe 10 in Rotterdam and 10 in Amsterdam...'"
