The only people who get the bus in this city are foreigners, alcoholics, and retarded people. Absolutely everybody else whizzes around the place in jeeps — it's just like living in LA, minus Kiefer Sutherland.
I found a flat on my bike this morning, after sneaking out of my secret lover's house a little late for work. A flat! That is a proper pain in the arse because I've only just gotten round to changing my winter nail tyres. (Well, I didn't actually change them myself, per se, I had to get a man to do it for me while I stood filing my nails and wondering what shoes to wear that evening).
I didn't have time to change this morning's flat by myself, of course, and Kiefer Sutherland was nowhere to be found. Normally I would have just walked to work, but I had a meeting to get to and I never noticed how slow walking is before. So boring. So I hopped on a bus with all the alcoholic people, and tried to avoid eye contact.
Karma must have bitten me in my snobby arse though, because by the time I realised I'd hopped on the wrong bus, I found myself down by the sea on the other bloody side of town. Luckily for me, however, I managed to make full eye contact with a rather helpful alcoholic person, who then taught me all about route maps and bus numbers and actually managed to get me to work on time.
Thank you, helpful alcoholic person. I hope somebody gives you a jeep for your birthday.

Ooh, were the scary middle-aged woman twins with the funny hairstyles on the bus? The ones who go to the hospital?
ReplyDeleteWhat a nightmare! Damn those flat tyres...
ReplyDeleteWhat about the old woman with the beret and the staff that laughs all the time. Best known for trying to trip little children with said staff around?
ReplyDeleteAlso the twins are not *that* scary...
Gah, must remember to preview first!
ReplyDeleteI think those twins live near Bjarni, I see them walking up his street quite often. Either that or he's shagging them on the sly.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the laughing staff lady, unfortunately, Nonni.
Agh, The twins aren't Nonni's sisters are they? Or friends, half-sisters, aunts, cousins, neighbours, friends of friends etc etc
ReplyDeleteEw, I hate when you get on a bus in a hurry and it's the wrong bus!!!
ReplyDeleteAnnie!
ReplyDeleteI'm hurt you don't have higher expectations for me.
If I was doing some twins on the sly, at least I'd have the decency to pick a really hot pair, which those two sadly are not.
I think you and I may have to have a long and serious discussion about this. And I'm afraid I won't be able to promise not to hold you down and tickle you unmercifully.
I'm not entirely sure who Nonni is actually Horsey.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bjarni, I'm not ticklish.
Annie: He's confusing you with the twins. They're very ticklish.
ReplyDeleteOr so i hear.
NEI OJ BARA
ReplyDeleteI used to do "math" with Bjarni. Don't think we've met, unfortunately, but I'm an avid reader of your blonk.
ReplyDeleteHuh, huh, Nonni said "math".
ReplyDeleteNo, we haven't met, I'd remember because "Nonni" is one of my favourite Icelandic names, even though everyone tells me it's not really a name. But welcome, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome.
ReplyDelete"Nonni" is a real name in much the same way that "ridick" is a real word. I just have to make sure that I introduce myself as Nonni the first time I meet someone.
Also you should ask Bjarni if he wants to integrate with you sometime. This "maths" thing is seriously underrated.
