Commuter Life With my job I'm beginning to the lose the ability to rationally express my thoughts. As usual my train was delayed tonight so I didn't reach Liverpool until a quarter past seven. Having missed all the buses there might be for half an hour, I resolved to get a taxi. Trying to cheapen the fair, I went up to two girl students and asked them where they were going.
'Smithdown Road.'
'Oh I'm going to Ullet Road.' I smiled.
They look at me trying to grasp the importance of this information. I look at them realising that I for some reason look like the strangest man alive. Then it dawns on me...
'I wanted to know if you'd like to share a cab...' I said, clicking my fingers for effect.
Oh how we laughed.
Then they said no, they had bus passes....
