Who will win the series?! Are you excited?! Tim Key is!
Writes:My name is Tim Key. I'm 33. When I leave my flat (in Limehouse, London), I wear jeans. I've also got a bunch of jumpers and other clothes. Recently I watched the film Requiem For A Dream. It really shook me up and made me consider my own lifestyle. I have started training for the marathon.
This is the final episode of the modest internet hit No More Women. It's the "decider". Me and (a skinny Bristolian I picked up in 2001) were locked at 3:3 coming into this and whoever won would "take all". It was the most pressure I think I've ever felt. And he was in my head, too. Before the game he kept looking at me. And whenever I looked back at him he'd look at the floor or wink. Usually I'm mentally quite tough, but that sort of shit is difficult to bear.
We played in the Blue Peter garden (which was alledgedly vandalised by a footballer in the eighties) and we played in the snow. And it was these hostile conditions that eventually proved my undoing.
I lived in Russia when I was in my twenties. I lived in a place called St Petersburg (their version of Manchester, I suppose) and in the winter the snow descended and everything became impossible. It was survival of the fittest. You had to drink to survive etc. Ultimately I fled back to Sheffield to warm up and enjoyed Sheffield's vibrant lifestyle and affable townsfolk.
Mark's a good player (of No More Women). A very good player (of ). And he could see I was struggling with the conditions. He just stayed solid, saying things like Brian Blessed and Ivan Lendl. My game was falling apart amongst the frozen flowerbeds. Alex Horne was there, waggling his camera and smirking. I started making mistakes. At one point I went for Dot Cotton - stupid - and pulled out in the nick of time. And Horne watching on. And Mark pecking away, saying things like Rick Astley. And the snow.
People will point to a tactical error I made at the end. I did lose my concentration, it's true and I did take myself somewhere I possibly shouldn't have done. But in truth, at this stage the damage had been done. I lost that game overnight, when the snow fell. I was never going to come back from that. And Mark knew that.
