Another of my fairly useless but possibly interesting threads. A place where I can let off a bit of steam due to certain idiot passengers that I have the pleasure of transporting around Wigan. There's also a chance of a funny story or two as well.... The other day I picked some bloke up who told me he's been to 'Tesco' and paid 20p for a 'Bag For Life'. After half an hour of having it, one of the handles snapped.  |

 Good one - and I ain't forgot about the 'Borrow Us' stuff if yer still on for it - especially now I've got the course out of the way. Here's a good one that a patient came out with...well, two. No.1. A greyhound on telly: "Look at that greyhound" she says, "it's as thin as a whippet"! No. 2. Diana COncert on telly last night. A feller comes on - rap singer. Running around, gesturing etc. whilst performing. Chap says quite animatedly (and therefore very sarcistically) "By heck he's good i'n't he? He can do OWT but sing!" N. |

Fair do - when I get m 'neets' out of the way, I'll get some more stuff down!  Meantime... keep watching 'Shameless' so as you know what to do, and what to avoid!  N. |

Some people have no sense of humour. I picked up a young lady earlier. Her name on my computer screen was 'Polly'. Now I've had a bit of a boring night and not had many laughs tonight, so I decided (again) to try a bit of banter... In got Polly, who looked like she enjoyed a joke. I can't understand why she wasn't happy when I asked her if she was putting the kettle on! She did correct me and told me her name was in fact 'Poppy'. I didn't bother with war memorial jokes or anything like that. I thought it best just to turn the radio up a bit. |

Interesting... and obscure... who the FOOK was 'Suki' - and why did she 'take it off again' by the way? Anti-tea drinker maybe? N. |

He/she mustn't have wanted a brew a didn't want Polly to have one either.... Or it could've been one of those old whistling kettles which got on Suki's nerves. ;D |

Just think, he could have bought 20 Mojos for that!
Or 20 fizzy cola bottles....or....anyway!
Are penny things still only a penny?
Coz if they're not then he couldn't.

Are penny things still only a penny? At the moment, yes they are. That raises an interesting question... Why are 'penny things' the only thing that have never increased in price due to inflation? |

Same with petrol - never bothers me how much it is - I ALWAYS get £20 worth! And to be a pedant here... penny things were cheaper - if you recall, mojos were once 'two for a penny' as were aniseed balls and other sweets. So that's f*cked yer theory - you don't get the same for more cost, you get less for the same price! Oh aye, too clever for my own good... but not for yours - happy to enlighten! N. |

There were some slighlty bigger ones which were a penny each. Also, most other penny things WERE 1p each, so my theory is still valid! |
