Fear and loathing las buses
I flatly refuse to take buses- not because they are chariots for the poor (like a few replies have said so far ), they just remind me of a horrid past job and the problems that came from it.

A long long time ago I worked as a mechanic at the London Transport bus overhaul works (It is a place, look it up). The staff turnover was quite high mainly due to the bosses ability to pick unqualified people who had wasted most of their lives at drama college and would dick around and burst into song at any opportunity. The hours were long and the work was hard.

Anywhoo one day one of the gang of ex-acting blokes announces that he has managed to blag a loan of one the company buses to use for a European break with him and his mates and spent the next week or so ripping out the fixtures to put in beds etc for the trip. They did all this while neglecting the jobs we needed to do piled up and attempted to turn the whole thing into a musical montage counting down the days to their holiday.

The bunch of luvvies and one god botherer then jumped on the bus and fucked off to France. Turns out they ended up in Athens and most of the other staff back at the works in London were fired due to the fact that we weren’t able to clear the backlog of work they had left us.

Just typed the name of the god loving bloke into wiki and found out that he went on to make a shitload of money releasing songs at Christmas every year.
