Pleasure to inspire a spot of raillery in a fellow public transporter!TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-22568817434237229292007-10-28T07:48:00.000+11:002007-10-28T07:48:00.000+11:00I know, I know, I ought to learn to spread my wing...I know, I know, I ought to learn to spread my wings.<BR/><BR/>I'd prefer to learn to fly too.<BR/><BR/>Public transport on weekends is vital. It's just that governments haven't caught up with the fact that people have friends yet, because governments don't have them. If governments were people, they'd only sneak out to work in peak hour in crowds to go to work when absolutely necessary, then they'd stay at home the rest of the time sobbing. They'd be real Nigels.<BR/><BR/>I also hate the fact that no one has really caught up with the fact that people use buses in my area at all. The service is appalling, I tell you. Appalling!<BR/><BR/>There, that's my hate out, I think, for the morning!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-9193294029700085692007-10-27T21:23:00.000+10:002007-10-27T21:23:00.000+10:00Ah yes, the old 'you don't drive?

Isn't it time you grew up?'<BR/><BR/>In all honesty I'd much rather learn to fly.<BR/><BR/>What I hate most - aside from the sheer bloody revoltingness of everything - is that the government likes to imagine that people don't use public transport on the weekends. Always a nightmare.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417138778733226637noreply@blogger.com
