All eyes turned on me as I followed my Canadian cousin TT up to the back of the lecture hall. They must have all been wondering what he was doing in class with an old fogey like me. He was, in fact, hosting my visit to Montreal and today’s “treat” was to attend lectures with him.

I was completely unused to being on this side of the podium, and TT was clearly not the studious type, so before long we abandoned our plan for the day. Outside once again we walked along the street with one of TT’s friends.

Suddenly a tramp appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. He was after the Bose headphones in my rucksack. What he hadn’t counted on was the strength of my extremely tall and muscular bodyguard. TT easily pinned my attacker to the ground and all was saved.
