Public transport? It's bad for your health

Posted by Steve Orme on May 24, 2008 10:59 AM | 

Why cars should be available on the NHS (part 235).

Police boarded a bus in London and confiscated 16 weapons from passengers.
The last time I looked, there were no deadly weapons in my car. At worst I have been known to carry a chainsaw but it’s a bit difficult to conceal about the person.
Last night, using the train for once, I could understand some of the sentiment of people who go about the public transport system tooled up.
One plant pot had his iPod turned up full so we were all treated to a racket like a hissing snake knocking biscuit tins over in his clearly empty head, another was swilling super strength lager while tutoring his two young children for their swearing examinations.
I do not subscribe to social oneness notions. I believe there are some people in the world who are incurable oxygen thieves.
That’s why I believe in the right to private transport and don’t lie awake at night worrying about the wellbeing of polar bears.
Or wondering how to get a carving knife on to the 5-15pm from Liverpool.
