“Elliot’s come out?”
“You know, that’s not completely what Jane said, but reading between the lines…”
“What lines? What’s he done?”
“Taken up the ukulele and joined an LGBT youth group.”
“OK, only one of those things is indicative of him definitely being gay, Mum – he might have gone to the youth group simply to support a friend.”
If Little Fobbing had had a completely truthful Wikipedia entry, it would have read something like:
Little Fobbing
Little Fobbing is a crappy little town in the middle of nowhere, with absolutely nothing fun to do; filled mainly with people over the age of 130. Come here if you want to be an undertaker, otherwise don’t bother. See also: Hell, Pit of Satan, The Abyss, Purgatory.

“My innocence? I’ve seen stuff on the internet! I’ve seen some pretty mature sites, if you know what I mean?”
“Yeah, well I think we’ve all looked at porn.”
“Well, that is actually illegal, Harry. That is against the law. I was talking about news and current affairs sites, aimed at adults. They give a very raw and uncompromising view of the world.”
