A couple of days ago I sat in a café, working. I do this from time to time. Now, sharing tables is a perfectly ordinary part of Edinburgh café culture. I was a little surprised by this when I first came here (as most Norwegians would rather lose a leg than share a table with a perfect stranger), but I have come to rather like it.

I don't like it. I get annoyed and I glare :|

I ignored her.

You are sensible.

Now I have a horrible cold which I have done nothing to deserve and which has struck at the most inopportune time imaginable. I am severely miffed. And I hold the hideous woman entirely responsible.

So you should.

From now on you need a doctor's note to the effect that you are bug free before you can join my table.

I like it. A crazy lady accosted me at the pub a week ago, sat beside me, yammered at me about her (clearly fictional) job as part-time journalist and receptionist at the Pakistani Embassy, lurched about a bit, and when I went to the Ladies, nicked my cigarettes. The world is full of nutters.


I have a theory that a lot of them live in Scotland and Ireland (and America).
