The face of modern socialising

I know... It's not pretty. 

We didn't just hang around underground car parks, mind. We also walked the pier(s) and had a great chat. 
That muppet got a shock a few days ago when he realised that Emile Zola was a bloke. I suspect that he had been fantasising about a sophisticated late 19th century French dame with a passion for social justice and writing. 
I guess he'll have to find another object of literary lust.
