"Women, eh? For them, if there wasn’t progress then there wasn’t anything apparently.”…so thinks Gus, a mixed-race Londoner on the verge of his thirties, as he calls time on a relationship that was doomed the moment it became too stifling. Not that its demise had anything to do with his unvoiced feelings for his only female friend. ’Course not. Nor should either of those facts stop him from getting involved with a wealthy older widow – it wasn’t his fault, Milan asked him to seduce her.

Speaking of which, how has one of his oldest friends become world-renowned in his field? And how has his best friend, a serial womanizer, actually managed to fall in love? Does his Uncle Jack really like watching soaps? And shouldn’t being Team Leader mean he doesn’t have to work this weekend?
Not that Gus should be concentrating on any of this stuff. No, what he should be doing is concentrating on writing his first novel and getting enough cash and opportunity together to open his own bar.

However, like John Lennon said: “Life is what happens whilst you’re making other plans.”
