This morning an old lady started talking to me on the train. She was on her way to Chinatown to see King Fong and have a banquet for lunch. I was on my way to work. We had a pleasant chat and she told me how she was accosted by a young fellow who said to her "I have AIDS" and the showed her a syringe full of blood. Her response to this was to bash him round the head with her handbag (at which point he ran away). I didn't realise that old ladies do that in real life!
