I think he may have tried working for various auction houses, but has never really endeared himself to anyone and hasn't really got on.

He lives near (but not with) his parents and is doing a PhD.

Gideon is gorgeous, intelligent and never smiles as he is always thinking serious thoughts. He is not remotely sexual and doesn't smell of anything.

Gideon is tall and lean. Wears polo necks.

He is still in love with his first love. Helena (pronounced helayna).

Fay fancies Gordon but she'll never get near him.

Helena is a courtly love romantic heroine in the first book that made him realise he should be an academic.

Magenta has purple hair and likes to wear lots of eyeliner.
She has a bulldog called Columbia.
Magenta's real name is Sharon.

I honestly went to school with Gideon. I didn't like him then.

Magenta keeps her clothes on the floor and rarely washes them

Except her stripey tights, which she rinses out under the tap every night, then puts on the water pipes in the bathroom to dry.

Magenta wears underwired lacy black bras and never wears knickers.

Spot on Dangerous Beans (apart from the cats bit - I prefer dogs). Worrying how accurate this all is.

Gideon always takes the bus - it gives him a chance to read.

Gideon sometimes forgets to eat.
Magenta licks her fingers if they get mayonnaise on them. She has dirty fingernails.

Troy is a stripper. He has a weekly spray tan and used to work as a holiday rep, but the money's better as a stripper. His real name is Tim, and his mum thinks he works in a gym in Braintree.

Troy is thinking about having a total body electrolysis treatment and is saving up.

Liz spent quite some time at Greenham Gommon. now she is a disillusioned embittered social worker or teacher. with a nice line in smelly candles. she does circle dancing and goes on retreats.

Troy drives a convertible ford escort, but once he's saved for the electrolysis, he's going to start saving for a subaru impreza.

With gold hub caps - ooh nice

Crispin works in an art gallery, but relies on funds left to him by his grandfather. He studied art history at Oxford, or so he would have one believe. He hates taking the tube, and incorrect use of the English language.

Liz was with Andrea, when Andrea gave birth to Fynn.

Troy has a sister. Kim. Kim is a fitness fanatic and can't function without her daily 6.30am circuits class with Greg, an ex SAS PE trainer.

Crispin lives in a "studio" in Pimlico enabling him to walk to work, which he does every day, with an umbrella in hand. Rain or shine.

Crispin wears cravats and tweed jackets.
