Tendai & I first met when we were 15. I had just moved to Leeds and started attending the same church he did. After church I could not remember which bus number i needed to get home therefore asked Tendai if he knew. Tendai said he knew the bus number I needed as it also happened to be the bus that took him home. Years later I found out the bus did not even go anywhere near his house!
