Alex used to organise really big drug parties with his mates. He used to feed them a mountain of drugs up at his parent's holiday retreat at Hepburn, just so he could get off with his mates. he'd successfully organised several down and dirty orgies with the guys. And he was still friends with all of them.

He some how made them all believe it was just a spur of the moment thing, and that none of it had been meticulously planned as it had been.

"What happened at Hepburn stays at Hepburn" he used to tell them.

They used to repeat it back to Alex with a wink and a nudge.

I had a ‘thing’ with Alex for the year after we left school and went to uni.
