Since my cousin has moved to Glasgow I’ve sort of forgotten how popular he is with the ladies. I was reminded when my sister and her friends were viewing a home video recorded this Eid when the whole family visited from up north. As soon as Alan popped onto the screen, the girls’ eyes became wide and the “So, who’s that then?” questions surfaced rather ‘innocently’. I remember when we went to the same junior school, me and Alan. My friend Shenel fancied him like mad and I’m sure she wasn’t the only one either. When people would mention him, I’d gleam with pride. Not because he’s good looking. He did well in anything he undertook at school. That made me prouder than if a million girls fancied him.
