Chosen watering hole: The Greencoat Boy, Victoria.
Ambience: Grimy but friendly 鈥� and mercifully air-conditioned 鈥� city boozer 
Topics: Love among the sandwiches, oestrogen in the water and the Frisbee family 
Drinks Drunk: 6 gin and tonics, 4 pints of Amstell, 3 pints of Heineken, 3 glasses of white wine

It鈥檚 one of the muggiest days of the year and as we are in danger of fainting into our pints we decide to abandon our first location. A quick call ahead confirms that the Greencoat Boy, or the GCB as the Modus team fondly call it, has air-con so we drag ourselves through heaving, sweaty Victoria to get there. Once we have cooled off we finally muster up enough energy to have a proper conversation and what an revealing one it turns out to be.

GCB isn鈥檛 the only inter-company phrase this lot use. They call themselves Modites and spend so much time together that inter-Modus relations are commonplace. 鈥淢y husband used to work at Modus and now we have a Modus daughter together,鈥� says Emma.

鈥淭here are other Modus babies and there are two more on the way,鈥� adds Emily. 鈥淥h and Dickie鈥檚 daughter was through the sandwich lady.鈥�

Naturally, more details are requested immediately.

鈥淥ne of our guys married the sandwich lady,鈥� she explains. 鈥淲e started to realise something was going on when he would spend ages choosing his sandwiches. They fell in love, got married and had a daughter.鈥�

There are other Modus babies and there are two more on the way. Oh, and Dickie鈥檚 daughter was through the sandwich lady.

鈥淥ur company is the equivalent of Grazia magazine,鈥� laughs Miriam.

Which brings us nicely on to the next subject 鈥� the oestrogen levels in London鈥檚 drinking water. 鈥淚t鈥檚 one of the things our bodies can鈥檛 filter so us women are peeing out all these hormones and you boys are drinking a ton of oestrogen,鈥� laughs Emily.

鈥淵ou鈥檙e probably all on the pill without realising it,鈥� adds Miriam as the boys look at each other, shocked. 鈥淲ell, tap water in London is recycled through eight people,鈥� says Brock, 鈥渟o I can believe it. And I have been feeling more emotional recently.鈥�

鈥淭his is why I keep my husband on the Evian,鈥� says Emma.

As the sharer platter arrives everyone dives in and talk turns, childishly, to porn star names 鈥� the combination of your first pet鈥檚 name and your mother鈥檚 maiden name. Somewhat surprisingly, Miriam reveals hers to be Sparky Frisbee. 鈥淩eally,鈥� says Brock. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 weird because my great grandma鈥檚 surname was Frisbee, too. She was from Ireland too 鈥� Nelly Frisbee.鈥�

We started to realise something was going on when he would spend ages choosing his sandwiches.

鈥淥h my God. We could be cousins,鈥� cackles Miriam.

鈥淟ucky you and I haven鈥檛 had any inter-Modus relations then.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檒l ask my parents and you ask yours and we鈥檒l see what we can find out,鈥� adds Miriam, promising to keep 精东影视 updated.

By the time Tim and Toby arrive, a lot of ground has been covered and potential long-lost cousins reunited so they settle down for a quick drink and, good sports that they are, fill us in on their porn star names, Tess Loveless and Sandy Warren. Not bad - but not a patch on Sparky Frisbee.
