Bus Twats

I am quite lucky in the fact that i can avoid travelling on the tube to get to and from work everyday, i just have to hop on a bus and it takes no time at all. I generally prefer the bus, i found that when i moved to London it was a great way of actually getting to know the city. If you constantly travel on tubes how do you know where things are? you miss out on some great sights.

The buses are not always the best though, as with everything they do occassionally get invaded by stupid people, i love the people who get on and dont hold on to anything and then look unbelievably shocked when the bus pulls away and they go flying, did you not think the bus was going to move? did you think it was a mobile library? or you get old people who dont take the available seats at the front, i watch in horror as they stagger down towards the back, i am always thinking "sit the fuck down, you could break a hip!".

I have a love/hate affair with bendy buses in London, i remember when they were first introduced and there were lots of problems with them. The guy who was behind their introduction went on the local new show "London Tonight" and the interviewer actually said "You say the buses are safe and the best way to travel but dont the new bendy buses have a tendency to burst into flames?" - this had happened quite a lot prior to the interview. The advantage of the bendy's is that they are basically free, you can get on at any door and rarely get asked for a ticket. the con is when you are not on the bus but want to cross the road, the drivers don't seem to notice when traffic lights turn red and just go straight through, totally blocking the crossing. This happened this morning and i turned into a gobby londoner shouting at the bus driver and giving him a 2 finger salute - bit harsh but i had not had my morning coffee and was feeling feisty.

Well i had another session with my emotional stylist last night and it went really well, i am getting a huge amount out of this experience and yes it's hard and challenging and upsetting but having the opportunity to talk things through and get things down on paper is proving to be a blessing, i dont want to break into "i can see clearly now the rain has gone" but i am putting things into perspective, i am being needy and i am indulging myself but hey thats what emotional styling is all about.

Good news is that the Antony Cotton show has been axed from ITV 1, this is good news as the show was a stinking, steaming bag of shit, now if he could just get fired from coronation street my work would be done, he basically has 2 acting styles - the hi-de-hi style campness that was so fondly loved (in the 1970's!) or the bad news face which i think he took from Joey on "Friends".

well that was all a bit ranty!!

On the positive side - i have been paid and this weekend is looking to be a grand one with lots of fun and frolics!! yay!
