Just been down the kebab shop. On a dark lonely road, my cigarette lighter packed up. I saw a woman 20 metres in front of me smoking. I started walking a bit faster to catch up with her, but as Hubble discovered, the faster you move towards an object the faster it moves away from you.
Talking of kebab shops, 20 years ago you'd go into an empty kebab shop and the staff were pleased to see a customer. Nowadays, go into an empty kebab shop and you see 4 guys behind the counter rushing around like lunatics preparing their online orders, they barely notice you!
