Finding February

February 4^th

Dare you enter?

February 8^th

At Worksop train station. There is a Dance Academy on Platform One, alongside a tiny cob shop, a printers and a bar.

February 10^th

The usually shite bus services are today spectacularly shite.

February 13^th

Bus conversation approaching Sutton,
'Int it chocolate that helps with yer sugar levels?'
'Yeah, cos it dun't do yer no good if yer don't av none.'

February 14^th

6.30am. 

Bus Driver, apologising for her driving, saying that it affects her steering when she's had a few to drink. I laughed, hoping it was merely a joke and not a confession

Later on Feb 14^th

Offering a tissue to the sneezing lady in the seat behind, wishing I could have pre-empted the spraying to the back of my head. At least I have prevented being party to any future snot showers, for the duration of the journey.

February 21^st

Today the bus is driving itself.

Later on Feb 21^st

It appears that young people have recently chosen to boycott socks.

Very late on Feb 21^st

Tonight, it looks like I'm the only one going all the way. Mansfield to Derby - it's a fair old trek!

February 22^nd

Two chaps who boarded the bus at Ripley, have just spent the last 20 minutes discussing Findus Crispy Pancakes. I wasn't aware of the diverse range of fillings.

February 24^th

Overheard on the bus. 
'He acts like some sort of tortured genius.' 
'Yeah, but minus the genius.'

February 25^th

For the past hour and 20, I have suppressed the urge to gouge out my eyeballs and give them a good old rinse. However, I do not wish to alarm my fellow passengers by causing a gouging related disturbance on the bus.

February 27th

Best (overheard) quotes of the day;

'He looks like a Lowry painting that's been stretched.'

and

'Don't eat your poo sheet!'
