“Very hard,” f<strong>in</strong>ished Reggie.<br />
I am fond <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tw<strong>in</strong>s. <strong>The</strong>y used <strong>to</strong> play <strong>in</strong> a<br />
fairly successful retro-mod band. Ronnie was <strong>the</strong> front<br />
woman and Reggie played drums. Ronnie had a huge<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g, despite be<strong>in</strong>g quite petite she has a huge<br />
pair <strong>of</strong> lungs and an <strong>in</strong>credible vocal range. She used<br />
<strong>to</strong> dress <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se beautiful tailored <strong>to</strong>nic mohair suits<br />
with tab collared shirts and sk<strong>in</strong>ny ties, and wear her<br />
hair <strong>in</strong> a bee-hive. <strong>The</strong> music pundits had <strong>the</strong>m<br />
dest<strong>in</strong>ed for glory but <strong>the</strong>y had a m<strong>in</strong>or problem.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir fans were extremely enthusiastic and were<br />
much given <strong>to</strong> trash<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> jo<strong>in</strong>ts that <strong>the</strong>y played <strong>in</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dark Agents smelled some easy prey and shortly<br />
<strong>the</strong> Tw<strong>in</strong>s were exchang<strong>in</strong>g mohair suits for <strong>Woody</strong><br />
clobber.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> closer was,” said Ronnie.<br />
“A real killer,” f<strong>in</strong>ished Reggie.<br />
It can be quite bewilder<strong>in</strong>g convers<strong>in</strong>g with <strong>the</strong><br />
tw<strong>in</strong>s. <strong>The</strong> only way <strong>to</strong> tell <strong>the</strong>m apart is by <strong>the</strong> ‘R’<br />
and ‘V’ on <strong>the</strong> bibs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir gymslips, and even that<br />
can be mislead<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong>y like <strong>to</strong> fuck with <strong>the</strong> heads <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Brass by swapp<strong>in</strong>g clo<strong>the</strong>s so half <strong>the</strong> time<br />
nobody is quite sure who <strong>the</strong>y are actually scold<strong>in</strong>g or<br />
thrash<strong>in</strong>g. It is quite bizarre.<br />
“We’re go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>,” said Ronnie.<br />
“Try <strong>to</strong> walk <strong>the</strong>m <strong>of</strong>f,” said Reggie.<br />
“Good luck with that I tell <strong>the</strong>m,” and leave<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> go about <strong>the</strong>ir bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />
It is turn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> a pretty day and <strong>the</strong> quad and<br />
recreation areas are beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> fill up with groups<br />
play<strong>in</strong>g bridge, poker and backgammon. I go back up
