walk was simply out of the question. But I hated every moment of the bus ride...everybody is so antisocial! I go on the tube to church every week and it bugs me then too...where loads of people are together in a train carriage or on a bus, and everyone's really miserable. There's an unwritten rule that forbids making eye contact with anybody on the tube, let alone smiling. I hate it, and go out of my way to eyeball each and every person in the carriage...if you smile at someone as they get on the train, the empty seat next to you will stay empty...magic. It reminds me of the story of Jesus on the shores of Lake Galillee with the disciples...I don't know if it's quoted in scripture or not but I'm sure He would have said it at some point... "surely I say unto thee; you have heard it said that a man must ignore his brother when travelling around Londinium. But I tell you, anyone who follows this teaching is a miserable so&so who needs cheering up"
