CHARACTERS
MIKEY (30)
Of all the club members Mikey is the one who has come
closest to having a relationship recently. Several
indeed. Unfortunately he has pulled out at the last
minute – when the naughty little demons in his head began
whispering about how he would be lied to, cheated on,
mocked and cruelly rejected. Mikey’s prone to believing
this. For when he finally did summon the courage to go
on a date, with a seemingly delightful girl, she lied to
him, cheated on him, mocked him and cruelly rejected him,
all in an evening.

BB (30)
BB’s the girl who lost her beloved pet rabbit all those
years ago to a pair of cold-blooded dog assassins. She is
a big chunky solid woman, no denying that, but she’s also
fit and healthy. BB likes to believe that she’s Big and
Beautiful, though Behind her Back knows she is called the
Big Bouncing Brick. No one dares say this to her face.

And that leaves me, for now at least. I know these guys
and gals, good people all of them. They’ve got a simple
human desire to find that person, that partner. To know
that there is someone out there for everyone whatever the
circumstances. I’ll help introduce them to you, link
them together, pass on some of my thoughts and
observations, give a little background on their
situations – and give them a push when needed. I’ve been
around longer than most in this, know more than something
of what’s it’s like to be an ugly lover, so you’ll be
hearing from me.
