In four years of turning up I would estimate that I have said about six hundred words in total. Not out of aloofness. I simply cannot do the standing-around part, and in a city where everything anybody knows about a person is transmitted by people talking about them, that has left me with essentially no reputation at all.
Thirty, Salford. This is a genuine disadvantage and I have stopped pretending it is not. The way somebody here decides whether to spend time with a rigger they do not know is by asking two people who do. Nobody knows me. I have stood in the corner of the same rooms as most of that scene for four years and I could not name half of them.
What I am like when there are two of us is a completely different proposition, and I am aware of exactly how convenient that sounds. In writing I am fine. One to one I am fine. It is specifically the room, and the room is where this city does all of its sorting.
So a board suits me considerably better than a Saturday does. I would like a partner for the long run, an evening a week, and somebody patient about the fact that I am never going to be the person introducing anybody to anybody.
If you want a partner who is socially useful, I would be a poor bet and you would work that out by about the third month. If you would quite like an evening that ends at home rather than in a group, we may get on very well.
