(speaking of delinquency have you bought your issue of The Delinquent yet? Hmmm?)
I would be in more of a flap, but, perspective:
Last night a man pitched up against the railings outside my house and started wailing "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He had a small dog with him. I put on my coat, went outside and asked him if he was ok. He started singing, the dog came inside the front door and I panicked, but it just walked out again and he cuddled it. He looked really cold so I heated up my handwarmers and left them by him. He was still singing and he sounded really sad.
