Rudolph Percy Lafferty - Part II

It was a thursday. The name for thursday, the fourth day in the week in the ISO 8601 calender, is derived from the Germanic equivalent of the Latin Iovis Dies, meaning "Jupiter's Day." Jupiter is the largest of the 8 planets that orbit the star Sol, and features heavily, along with the other earlier discovered planets, in the mythology and religion of early civilisations on the planet Earth. To Rudy though, this information was largely insignificant. More importantly to him, since finishing school, it had become an unwritten rule that every Thursday he and his friends would go to the "student night" at one of Wolverhampton's numerous nightclubs. Nightclubs all over the country had recently been seizing on the desire under-18 year olds had for buying alcohol, despite the law of the UK (aka Britain) forbidding it, and had set up "student nights" seemingly for that purpose. Even so, the doorstaff at these establishments had to at least appear to be trying to enforce the age limit, so for Rudy and his friends, all under 18, thursday had become synonymous with a trip to The Crypt, but also with coming up with ever more ingenius ways to fool the bouncers into thinking they were 18. Rudy had up until this week been successful using his older brother Simon's driving lisence, to whom he bore a striking resemblence.

This story blows. I give up.
