This is my friend Simon Levitas, whom I first met almost ten years ago but last met three years ago when we left school. Last time we met he had much shorter hair, no beard and would have been under threat of suspension for wearing that shirt. For what it's worth, he's not wearing a head band that says THE STABLES. He's just sitting in front of the sign outside the pub we had dinner at. Even though it was called The Black Lion, not The Stables. Hmm.
