A few weeks ago
I was pestered by some old bloke who was pissed out of his skull and claimed to be Jools Holland's older brother. This was down at a blues jam and he either danced (badly) to the music or muttered stuff at me that I couldn't understand. Then just before I was called up onto the stage he said to me,
"If you're good...I'll hire you."
Before muttering something unintelligible about Paul McCartney as I nodded politely, took my beer and wandered gratefully toward the stage and away from him. Fortunately he was badgering someone else when I finished and we've not seen him since.

As I was walking to the pub the other day
An old man in a suit was in front of me. He kept looking around and if he thought I was too close he would run (I use the word loosly) a few paces forward.

The we got to a park and he hid behind a tree. Then I saw him a few minutes later trying to "fix" trees than had had their branches fall down in the wind

What is it about old men in suits?
(Was this guy small enough to look like he was related to Jools Holland? I'm just wondering whether it was the same feller...)
