Weird experience or wind up?
As I cycled home tonight, I was going along what is optimistically called a terrace, in reality a paved path between a churchyard and the back of some houses. It is easily wide enough for a pedestrian and a cyclist to pass each other with room to spare. There was a girl coming the other way, but since she was keeping to one side, I'd assumed she'd seen me, even though she was keeping her head down. It was just after six, so it was near on dark.
As I passed her, she let out a shriek and threw her arms in the air, then danced along, without however looking back, letting out more shrieking. 'What the hell?' I remember mumbling.
Had she simply not seen me, deep in thought (I had my lights on) and freaked out when she shaw this ghost sailing past? Was she trying to wind me up - then why did she not look back? Did she have some vital components missing on the top floor? It stumped me...

I dunno - ask Martin how he managed to cycle into a lampost and break his neck in plain light of day. Was he not looking, did the lampost suddenly appear. Or was it fate that on a certain day at a certain time he would ride into a lampost and break his neck. No the lampost did not ask for an apology nor ask for forgiv^ness
Yes, but at least the lamppost didn't do a Zoidberg.
