I kind of half smiled but felt uneasy at the same time.. "this woman looked at me with a very wide eyed expression".. so i speak quietly to her and say "I always make bad first impressions on people, it's why i don't have any friends" thinking it was quite witty.. but she didn't say anything.. The Phil Mitchell guy at this time is still calling me a c**t and telling his friends what a c**t I am.. I put my discman back on and I just ignore it.. Thinking to myself that he has to be a Millwall fan or something.. he'd obviously got nervous and felt agitated being this far north of the river and his knuckles looked so sore from where he'd been dragging them on the ground as he walked...
The tube arrives and i get on.. so does Phil Mitchell and his cronies as well as the woman who looked a bit like an old Whitney Houston so I will call her that from now on as it's better than being known as 'that woman'..

The insults continue and i can feel his eyes burning into me just as 'Instant Street' really kicks in, giving the song a whole new dangerous feel to it.. (It's was quite intense on it's own normally) As to be expected in these situations the Tube gets stuck in the tunnel for 10 minutes making this story a few more sentences longer than it should be.. Insults continue and i ignore them when suddenly Whitney Houston lightly taps me on the shoulder and so I take off my headphones and she's looking at me with the same wide eyed expression she was wearing earlier.. "Just thought you should know.. He's still calling you a wanker" She says.. "hey.. thanks!" i reply with a hearty thumbs up..
