Balham High Road (3/Nov/2000)
Certainty level: 60%
On 3 November 2000, I had just got off the bus in Balham High Road,
when I heard a group of schoolgirls shouting and laughing. One of them yelled;
"He's an idiot you know."
You can hear this on the above clip; it is followed by laughter. I am
not quite sure this is about me, which is why I have only given it
a two in three probability. I have been attacked many times with the
word "idiot", which seems to be a favourite with intellectual lightweights
who want to bring down bigger game. (Back in 1992 I was so worried by the
attacks on my intelligence that I took the test and joined Mensa......
does that make me a *clever* idiot? Never mind.)

As you have said. Anyway, that was a very brave thing to have done in
a world where intelligence is something one blushingly admits to
having. A friend, a Scandinavian doing a doctorate at LSE, was fined
£50 for breaking up a bar in Soho. Magistrate: 'You ought to be
ashamed of yourself; society looks to people of your ability to set an
example.' Sven: 'I'll try to do better in future, sir.' He came from
a family of lumberjacks, would have towered up to Bill Gates, at
least, looked a bit like the latter, and 'better' was ironic, of
course. Sweetness and light - until he got half a bottle of scotch
inside him, then ... . 'Sven will it start?' I remember asking
someone. His adoring girlfriend, also LSE, described him as 'a
contemporary phenomenon'.
