In the final part of my chat with Mark we start off in Lincolnshire, moving quite quickly to Melbourne, Oz where he settles in to dating and the gay scene and someone gets a warm hand on their entrance....

We also talk about his meaningful tune for the Spotify playlist and I finally get to talk about how I got my lottery numbers, with the number 22. Still not a chosen one.
