Tough Stickers

Is it me or is every third person now wearing tough stickers. What is it with people all now getting tattoos? Has something happen out there that no one has told me about.

Do I need to have my children’s name written on my forearms in old English?

Do I need to have barb wire tattooed around these huge guns of mine? ‘Sorry Pammy your excused’.

Do I need to have Japanese characters permanently stuck on my body where I truly don’t know the meaning to what they are saying?

So when Generation Y start turning gray are they still going to be lining up at the tattoo parlours. Is this tattooing fazed brought on by celebrities? I wouldn’t say im conservative by all means but I just have no inclination to cover myself with permanent ink. Can someone please explain?

Bus Queuing Etiquette


Is it just me or are the people who are lining up along the foot path for the bus actually doing the right thing. Why do people who see people waiting in line congregate around the top of the line to get onto the bus first? Do these people carry VIP passes? I would imagine not otherwise they wouldn’t be catching the bus. Several times I have pulled people back by saying “excuse me but I think the end of the line is that way”. Not sure why they look at me with a dishpan face and reply “Oh”. After speaking with my colleagues about this they couldn’t believe the difference in bus etiquette between the Northside and Inner City/West. Northside this is some sort of line formula with decorum where Inner City has the European method. Gather in a huddle and where the bus stops determine who gets on first. What are your experiences and is it just me but why cant people line up and just be patient?
