Delayed getting back from town.

Went shopping for trainers today and needed to be home before half three. Left myself plenty of time to catch the bus.

 

Out of the blue (no pun intended), along comes the number 2 bang on time. Excellent I thought, especially as I had allowed a bit of time for delays as you often find on public transport. I was just about to jump on the bus when WHOAAAA, WTF is that I said to myself? Emblazoned on the side of said bus was an advertisement for God, The Big Man himself, Numero Uno. "Come to Church" it said, "Come to Church, and be SAVED"! In big letters too.

 

Saved from what? I asked myself. Was this a veiled threat, what if I didn't go to church? Will I rot in Hell, will I die a painful death? I was not going to stand for this ****, that's for sure.

 

The upshot of it all was that I decded to take it further and asked the bus driver to go fetch a bus with a more neutral choice of advertisement. He advised me that there would be another one along shortly if I wished to wait. I had to point out to him that there would not be another number 2 for at least an hour, and actually, it would most likely be the exact same ****ing bus (I was getting angry by this point). Other passengers joined in the debate and eventually I managed to convince around two thirds of them to back me up and refuse to ride the bus. We decided that we would not be bullied by some company who would rather take they're dirty 'church' money than our hard-earned fares, they're loss, HA!

 

That is alll really, except I should add that anyone contemplating making a similar stand, that it takes roughly 55 minutes to walk from Above Bar to Swaythling. Deduct about thirty minutes if you are being chased by an angry mob.

Only Pikeys take the bus.

 

True story.

 

True story, Mrs H is one quarter Folki/Pikey/Gypsy. As long as it is not said in a na sty or derogative way she doesn't mind the use of "Pikey". However, use it in an insulting manner and she will put a curse on you. Hand on heart, Hamster's honour FACT.
