Oh that does sound very likelyPutting this behind a spoiler, because I don't want to provide any misinformation, but I think there is a strong chance that I knew this guy many moons ago...
This would have been somewhere between 2006-2009, my prime 'Big Going Out' years, and my memory is hazy of much of that time (happy days!). The Russ I knew had a girlfriend who was friends with my friend, so I knew them a little bit and probably met them 10ish times and went to a couple of their parties.
What I can remember:
He looked v. similar to Russ in Cheshire and had that same 'totally met Oasis' vibe.
His girlfriend was an absolutely gorgeous, Kate Winslet in Titanic type, and he talked a lot about her lovely curves (urgh), she'd have been a similar age to us so 23-24. He encouraged her not to work and to follow her art.
He drove a very fancy car, I think a BMW but cars are not my strongpoint.
They lived in a very swish flat somewhere near Canal Street
He was definitely an IT guy and said he owned his own business. They certainly spent a lot.
They were swingers, and we once awkwardly stayed a bit longer than we'd intended at what turned into a sex party and had to sneak off. His and his girlfriend's agreement was that they would only swing at parties. He inevitably cheated on her, and then when she found out, kicked her out like a super feminist.
Anyway, not conclusive, I wouldn't want to swear that they were one and the same guy, but the alternative is that there are two of them out there.
TOOT TOOT
