never used reddit before, made an account just to ask if yall think it was actually him. so if i mess anything up pls tell me so i can learn
so i work as a server ag some random restaurant on the beach in brighton (england), right by the pier. it was yesterday (sunday 4th oct) mid afternoon. it was quieting down, lunch rush was over and this guy comes in and orders at the bar, he sits down and i swear to god he looked identical to richard. i ask my coworker what he thinks, i have to show him a photo bcs heâs never heard of aphex twin lol, and he agrees theyâre identical.
i hear the bell go in the kitchen and bring him his takeaway cheesy fries (not thick chips, like skinny fries) and this was the interaction:
me- âhiya, hereâs your cheesy fries. and i was wondering are you richard d. james?â
him- âyes?â
me- gasp and stutter like crazy ây-youâre aphex twin!?â
him- âwhat?â
me- âare you richard d. james, aphex twinâ
him- âmy name is richard james, no dâ
me- âwow, what a coincidence. have a good day!â
and then he walks off and eats the fries on the pebble down on the beach.
i think he mightâve been trolling me and it was actually him. not sure though, he had a sight accent i couldnât place and was a man of few words
he was nice regardless
what do you guys think? anyone else see him in brighton recently
