Feel the fear...
Last month I did a blog called "Selective Amnesia" which described meeting a geordie on the way home from the pub. I met him again last night. In fact I spent the evening with him. We have mutual friends. Funnily enough, he has the same name as me - though he goes by the shortened version (I sometimes use that too).
He was the youngest in our group but he said that in some ways he was older because he wasn't intimidated by anything.
"You mean that you never get scared?" said someone suspiciously.
"No," he said, " I just know when I am scared and use it."
"What's the difference?" I asked.
"Being intimidated is when you change your behaviour because of your fear", he said.
