Guess Who I Had in My Cab Today…

Okay so I don’t drive a cab, but walk past my newsstand doesn’t have the same ring. Charles Clarke! (He’s Home Secretary – he does important things like let me into this country.) He walked by on his mobile phone (talking on the phone not floating past in some Back to the Future II hover board style.)

Other strange thing today an older man with blue eyes and a flat cap came up to the stand today with a leather bracelet with shells on it and he said to me:

“Look at what I found in the road back there. I took it up to the castle museum and they said what you’ve got there is an ancient Egyptian artifact owned by the family of Tutankhamen and whoever possesses it shall have great prosperity and will spread peace and love wherever in the world they go. So when I win the lottery this weekend then I’ll give it to you.”

... and the bonus ball is completly crackers.

I'll bet a certain ginger friend of yours is gutted he didn't see Charles Clarke. I'll just congratulate your restraint. I'd have felt pressure to shout something 'witty', and by witty I mean offensive.

Good work on the spotting people front. I work next to my old Games teacher, but its not in the same league, really.
