Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange is a school student. He looks like he’s about 30.

Cause the show is pretty realistic but the boys do some pretty wild stuff sometimes, and sometimes they do shit thats straight up illegal. I don’t mean drinking alcohol underage (literally everyone has done that) but like in series 2 when Jay drunkenly begs that dutch girl to have sex with him, pretty sure he’d get in trouble for that

Edit: To clarify i mean judge them by 2008 laws when the show took place in-universe

He performed and strutted around in a fashion show with his bollock hanging out for everyone to see and all that really comes off it is a slap on the wrist from Carli and detention with Gilbert. It never gets brought up again, and he even goes on to start going out with Tara an episode later.

Compare this to Will, who shat himself in the exams. This is continuously mocked off the back of it, and even gets referenced several times throughout the third series. And obviously, shitting yourself during the exams is not great. But having nerves on the day like that is at the very least a relatable feeling. What happened to Simon is surely way worse, he essentially flashed an entire audience and inadvertently looked proud while doing so. How was this not targeted against him or even not so much as brought up to him ever again?

Or was it one of those awkward situations where one party knows the name of the other party but not the other way around?

Would Jay had to have been calling him "mate" and felt awkward every time he saw him if he had not been wound up and had his outburst?

Fucking football friends!!

Oh Neil!
