Dilemma. What is the correct procedure, right...

... say, one is sitting on one's own on the little round seat outside what used to be Curl's / Garland's, then Habitat, now Cosmo? and one sees John Higgins in tartan lycra biking along London Street (carefully, of course) starring at me like he knew who I was.

Do you A: shout, Hey! John! Then walk up to him tumescent with glee in your replica training kit at his joyful on-table performances this year?

Or B: ask him to buy you a Kestral at the Sir Garnet, 'cos he's a rich snookerer, innit?

Or C: carry on sitting on the little round seat outside what used to be Curl's / Garland's, then Habitat, now Cosmo? thinking "I should have stopped and got a selfie and told him how good he is with little balls, but that's a bit creepy, and weird, and he probably doesn't need a NORMAL hassling him right now, and why isn't he on his way to Sheffield? Maybe it wasn't him after all, but no, I've seen him enough times to be sure..." by which time he's going up the hill past the market and it's too late. one becomes confused and can only think clearly again at the bottom of the stairs, that is, when one is already on the way out of the house and all that.

I went for Mary natch.
