For all my recent denials of the likelihood of me ever being seen in public wearing shorts, I found myself in full footie kit at Sports And Shorts on Saturday night. And what a great night, just plain, old fashioned good fun, all lads together, allowing us to release the suppressed yob within. Or something.

The whole thing, of course, is just butch drag. The DJ announced a quiz: "We've got hold of 2,000 questions from Match Of The Day. First question - who scored the winning goal in Manchester United's 1984 win over Leeds? Anyone? Anybody? Right, well that's enough of the football questions. Who originally had a hit with 'It's Raining Men'?"

The pavement outside had been cordoned off with seven-foot-high barriers so that passers-by couldn't see what was going on outside the venue. But those on the upper deck of buses pulling into Victoria could. So if you were on the number 8 bus and believe you must be going mad because you imagine you saw naked men mud-wrestling outside a pub, you're not - you did.
