Okay, guys, I've been promising you a guest blog. This is number 1, the amazing NoComedy!
Hello, everybody! I'm JM, and today Katie and I have decided to swap blogs! So here I am, posting on her blog, and she's over working some magic on my blog (nocomedy.blogspot.com).
The topic is public transport, because we all have a little something to say about it, huh? Buses being late, or not even showing up, scary people on the train...you know. Anyway, I want to take some time to put a positive spin on public transport. Thus, I submit to you all:
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
- Bus drivers who actually wait for the person running desperately towards the bus as it pulls away from the stop.
- That lady who helped me when I didn't know what bus stop to get off at the first time I caught the bus to a mates place.
- I have to walk ten minutes to my train station. This is a good thing because I like walking
- Seeing the occasional bus driver dressed as Father Christmas around December.
- Accidentally overhearing interesting conversations.
- That feeling of relief when you get off the bus/train and out into fresh air after you've been stuck sitting next to a heavy smoker.
- Popcorn. I suppose it's not really about public transport, but I have some right now and it's awesome.
- How some buses look like they have faces. I like the smiley buses.
- Standing on the platform in the middle of the articulated buses (or 'tickle buses', as I used to call them when I was little) when the bus goes around a tight corner.
Also there is a bus stop near my house where the seat is angled in such a way that I can't touch the ground with my feet when I'm sitting on it. At first I didn't like it at all, but I've come to like the way that it makes me feel like I'm a little kid again.

And that's all I can think of right now. I'm too distracted by popcorn. Bye!
JM writes and draws over at That's NoComedy and it would make her happy if you went and visited. Don't you want to make her happy?
I found something else I like about trains! It's extra reading time that I otherwise wouldn't have because I'm so fantastically busy all the time :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, something I DON'T like about trains/buses: sitting near a group of bogan teens (probably highschool dropouts, but I'm not here to judge) talking about how they would modify VN Commodores to make them 'even more awesome'. I moved seat after one mentioned chopped suspension and spinners in the same sentence.
Chopped suspension AND spinners? Yikes. It's amazing you lasted that long :)
