On the town with Mark Kermode (Belle)

Cocaine and cheese on self-driving buses in Nantes (Rousse)
I was back in Nantes. This city had changed in the four decades since I left. Here the buses were self-driving, and you paid your fare in lumps of cheese or cocaine. Some passengers, including myself, found it difficult to … Continue reading
Duchess of Cambridge travels incognito by public transport to Norwich (Rousse)
My new best friend the Duchess of Cambridge and I travelled by bus and train to Norwich. My companion blended in well: none of the other passengers spotted royalty in their midst. When we diverted via Bristol, I offered to … Continue reading

Fly-tippers and drunks (Rousse)
I expected to sit with JB (resplendent in a green dress) at table 19 at the staff meeting, but instead found myself next to GR. Even though retired for almost a year, LM joined us. GR had just swept the … Continue reading

Turning down Loughborough (Rousse)
I performed well in my interview for a chair at Loughborough University, and it came as no surprise when Eric (the Head of School) offered me the job. I was delighted with this outcome, as was AM, who had always … Continue reading

A small-scale red double decker London bus driver and his emigrant wife (Rousse)
My father-in-law proudly showed off his new wheels: a small-scale red double decker London bus. This was not the most practical of family vehicles, especially since its brake was of the same design as that found on a child’s scooter. … Continue reading

Pussy cats at the Old Ladies’ Lunch (Rousse)
At the end of the Christmas holiday, my mother and I were guests of MB at the Old Ladies’ Lunch in Humshaugh. (I was a little offended at the invitation, but not sufficiently to refuse a good meal.) Two ‘spare’ … Continue reading

A culprit and Akita Staffordshire bull terrier cross dogs (Rousse)
I should have been convicted of causing a death by dangerous driving of a Lothian Buses double decker. I escaped this fate thanks to the snow that covered up all evidence of my involvement. Pinning the blame on a homeless … Continue reading
