What is the ideal bodyguard? The most ferocious looking? The most efficient killer? Or the most devoted?

“Poison is on the stereo, the guitar is plugged into the console and the biscuit-tin is all but empty”

This is “Biscuits for Tea“, the story of two young flatmates who have recently left university and now find themselves considering what life might have in store next.
