I am finally learning to drive. The other day on Mombasa road, I changed lanes and forgot to signal and as cars screeched out of the way and my miraa-chewing instructor Georgie went into a panic and shouted ‘clutch’ and I stepped on the brakes and we stopped in the middle lane just outside Capital Centre. Georgie (who has wide eyes like my friend, Maddo) croaked - ‘Stick to your lane, bwana.’

Women, the problem many of you make in relationships is trying to overlap and change lanes without any left/right signal. Some women are one night stands for some scurrilous men – but they then imagine they are ‘in a relationship’ and even set up their social media accounts to reflect this fiction.
