Month of the Bastard (MOTB)

I’ve decided that for the month of March, I’m going to feed my inner bastard. Any number of things that normally get on my tits will be dealt with in a very different manner to usual. This includes, but is not limited to :

  • People who have walked past four display screens telling them where the train is going, get on the train, and then ask “Is this the train for Ely / Norwich?”. The answer in March will be “No”.
  • Couples walking arm-in-arm towards me and blocking the entire path, with no intention of seperating or moving, as if they’re actually physically joined at the hip. During March, I will not be avoiding them, or stepping into the road to go round them.
  • In a similar vein, the chuffwit tosspots who ride their bikes down the pavement, ringing their bell so the pedestrians get out of their way. Steel-toecapped boots will be used in enterprising ways on these doughnuts during the month
  • On trains, the nongs who sit in the outer seat of a pair (i.e. the one closest to the aisle) with no-one on the inner seat, then sigh when someone wants to sit in the empty seat. These people may be sat on…

    Although “Cambridgeshire jokes” are normally also known as “students”.

    *whoosh*

    That was the sound of that ‘joke’ flying straight over my head. I’m sure it was terribly witty and hilariously insightful though.

    Maybe.

    That reminds me – the March model railway show is sometime this month. Problem is finding the info online thanks to the “confusing” search criteria …
