bullying
As a young school girl in oxford, we all used to wait for the bus at the side of school, being generally lairy ( as much as public school girls can be) and pushing each other around the pavement.

Around the time OK computer came out I was a massive Radiohead fan and so was pretty impressed when Thom Yorke walked past a couple of times on his way home. I wanted to share my awe with my schoolfriends but they sadly were more into 911 at the time. The following exchange took place one day when i spotted little thom shuffling down the road towards us.

Me - 'look, it's thom yorke'
Them - 'who?"
Me - 'he's the singer in radiohead'
Them - 'no he bloody isn't'
Me - yes it is, it's the singer in radiohead, it bloody well is, look, he's got a lazy eye!'

At this point, mr yorke, walked past, looked at us, put his thumb on his nose, waggled his fingers and stuck his tongue out. for a long time this was the weirdest thing i'd ever seen. I feel quite bad about this incident now, because even at the age of 13, we were all mostly taller than him and must have been quite intimidating.

I also just remember that I have a friend, who whilst working in a cafe in oxford, elbowed bill clinton out of the way, when he was on a visit to his daughter. i don't think you can beat, shoving the former leader of the free world really. apparently he was quite nice about it.
