"6.30?" she verified.
"Yes," said I.
"Hmm. Are you sure it's 6.30?"
"Yes," said I.
Then came the best question of the night. Possibly the best question ever. This honestly, honestly happened.
"Can you remember your name?" she asked.
I was stunned. My friend laughed. I didn't mean to be rude, but all I said was, "Yes. Yes I can." There was an awkward pause until I remembered she probably wanted to know what my name was.
If I couldn't remember my own name, I'm guessing I might have bigger problems than a missed restaurant booking.

Do you record elsewhere on the blog the booking conversation: "Hello, I want to book a table for Nunn". "Er, sorry, did you say a table for one". "No, None!".
