    Just back from the Post Office. When I walked in there was a customer being argumentative with one of the women working in there. I gen myself up for a confrontation, because yeah, I'm a fucking hero*. She's looking throughly pissed off. When I get to the front of the queue to speak to the other woman in there I mouth "is everything ok?", looking askance at the guy and she smiles and explains that the guy's a regular and is always like this. I recognise him - he works in a shop a few doors along. Stand down machostations, Nairn. Lady I'm dealing with says to the guy - "Hey, our bodyguard's here - you better watch out!" and then - and bear in mind, she's Sri Lankan, English not her first language - "he's a double black man!". Whut? but fuck yeah, I'll take it, because now I'm a double black man.

    She meant black belt, but that's not stopped me. Old Nairn is gone, now there's new Double Black Man Nairn on the block.

    Watch out, world.
