But you knew the cameraswere there, didn't you?
This was just me (and lots of others) on the street doing stuff. I don't think I meant haunt in a bad way, just an allusion to the way we archive _everything_ these days, so you can trip over events that involve yourself, but that you'd personally forgotten.
For example, a few months ago, I turned on a random cable channel that had temporarily appeared on my decoder, never watched it before and the screen was instantly filled with footage of my dad driving a steam train. This is going to happen more often.

Lasttime I went to Critical Mass I got into an argument with a woman driver who kindly finished off our conversation by running my bike over....

It scares me when that happenswere you there when someone's bike got stuck under a Merc outside the Houses of Parliament?
I've never seen the police arrive so fast, and from nowhere...
Actually, last time I was arguing with a car that was trying to run me (and a few others over), the situation was 'de-fused' by a bloke in wheelchair joining in and sitting in front of the guy.
