“Whose that?”
“Uh what oh he’s he’s one of my friends. My mates. From back in the day. We’d take pictures, draw pictures always trying to out do one another.”
“So he’s not famous? I could have sworn I’ve seen him before”
“No no well in Cambridge he was. People knew him around. But not like movie star or anything.”
“He looks familiar.”
“Yeah just has that look about him.”

“Do you ever go back? Do you miss it?”
“Ah hard to say. Parts I do, other parts I don’t really care. It’s small everywhere is so small.”
“Yeah it always seems like that.”

“No me. Never.” He said instead.
