About 10 years ago…… I played a fine gag on my mate. We both knew a lad at college who was flamboyantly gay – let’s call him Rod. He’d moved to London (probably to bum some blokes) and we’d sort of lost touch. I wrote a letter purporting to be from Rod telling my mate that a new friend of his was going to be visiting Manchester and he thought it would be great if my mate could show him around the Gay Village in town.
It’s important to know 2 things at this point: 1) My mate still lived at home with his highly intolerant Mum, Dad and sisters, 2) My mate was also a gay, but he was in the closet (at least to his family).
I sent the letter to my brother who lives in London and got him to re-write the letter and post it in London. So, my mate gets a letter ‘from Rod’ telling him that a big nancy called Brian Stead will be calling round to his house next week and will expect to be shown a good time. There was no return address on the letter and no way to get in touch with Rod to tell him “No! For fucks sake, no!”
He met me in a pizza place in town the night he got the letter and was shitting himself. I cruelly let him stew in it for about 5 days then phoned him and told him the truth. He was so relieved he wasn’t angry at all. He laughed greatly when I told him that ‘Brian Stead’ is an anagram of ‘Arse Bandit’.
