For a Minute I Lost Myself

I... am sitting in Cafe Nero, casually working on my laptop, with Thom Yorke sitting two tables over. And yes, I’m listening to Radiohead. So is this the moment to go introduce myself and say I’d like to begin a career in music? Interrupt his family’s discussion and ask for his autograph? Maybe get a stranger to take a picture of us together? Or better to play it calm? This is Oxford after all. It’s just the way it works here. But holy flip flop! This would only be topped if it were Sir Paul McCartney sitting down next to me. Although in that case, I think I’d really have to go say hullo. Maybe ask him to sing a couple lines of ‘Hey Jude.’ Now there’s a thought. Maybe if I asked really politely, Thom would sing ‘Karma Police’ to me...

I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
