Time/Is Waiting in the wings...

Weird experience in Northbridge yesterday. On the way to the Sports Bar in Aberdeen Street, I walked past this middle-aged guy with a grey walrus moustache, wearing massive jodhpurs with tall boots. I wanted to ask him if he was a time-traveller, because he seriously looked as though he should have been at the helm of a biplane or a 1920s jalopy. I'm amazed the guy wasn't wearing goggles or a brown leather cap with dangly straps, but maybe he discarded those items upon arrival so as to seem less conspicuous in the 21st century? Either that or he was looking for a job as an extra in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and he didn't realise that show is filmed in Melbourne, not Perth. I'm sticking with the time-traveller theory.

The only other time in my life I'd come across someone who was possibly a time-traveller was when I worked at a call centre providing Directory Assistance. Members of the public would phone up wanting or addresses. One time a call dropped in from a guy who wanted to know what year it was. I'm sorry, but only time-travellers are justified in asking that question. You drop out of a time warp or a temporal vortex or whatever, you're not sure what time period you've landed in, OK, you get to ask what year it is. Anyone who asks that question and is NOT a time-traveller is a fucking moron.
