I only just found you today! But thank God I did. Genius as always, sir, but terrifying. Merry Christmas!

As the person who accidentally began this Yuletide event, it falls to me to give it some kind of shape. Clearly anyone can use hashtags whenever and wherever they like, but given that we've got presents to panic buy and wrap, I usually say "let's get going at 7.30pm?" 3/

Andy's superpower is conversation. If you let him draw you into a conversation, you are spat out at the other end full of entertainment, information, and joie de vivre. If you're a bookshop, you've also signed up to take 200 copies, and if you're a mugger, you gave him back the Rolex.

Amazingly, this isn't his best performance: he has *twice* talked muggers who actually took his wallet into giving him a refund.

Mugger: Yeah, sure. You're a funny one, aren't you?
Andy: Ah, well, you have to be yourself. If there's one thing I hope you remember from this meeting, it's that. Never follow the crowd!

At which the muggers agree, thank him for the advice, and everyone goes on their way.

Andy agrees to look into it and thanks them for the advice, at which the would-be muggers realise they have pretty much lost the whole 'threatening people for money' ground.

Hoody: You can use texts, so--
Andy: Oh, can't stand them. There's nothing like talking to someone directly, is there? No, mobiles are no use to me.
Hoody: You can get adapted ones. My nan has one.

A conversation ensues in which the mugger starts recommending adaptive technology.

So Andy is wandering the mean streets of Clapham as you do when two teen hoodies come up and demand his phone.

Andy: Sorry, don't have it on me.
Hoody: Course you do.
Andy: No, I don't No use to me. I'm mostly deaf, can't use the thing. Got a specially adapted landline at home.

This. Is. Glorious. Even better than Aberdeen's Christmas leopard.
