Comedy is serious business – not coloured sweets that rot the teeth... At it's very best, comedy seeks to CHANGE and improve things. And this, I'm afraid, doesn't change anything. As it stands it's a nice little farce that tells a tale of how poorly-paid bus drivers and lousy bus companies can often get things wrong.. Then one thing leads to another and nobody knows what's going on - and the drivers themselves stay shtum 'cos they're as baffled as the passengers - and the sun goes on shining - and if everyone didn't laugh they'd all have to simultaneously burst into tears. But (sorry to repeat) that 'aint comedy, it's simply a well told little story. Nice one Janine. Meanwhile – and in sympathy with all bus drivers...... Yesterday's real story (completely ignored on CW4.com) was on the London Underground. Do I detect a whiff of Trades Unions deja-vu Scargillwise. Those bloody tube drivers earn a whackload of a salary just for sitting up behind a 'dead-man's handle' and taking a train on tracks down a one-way street with no traffic jams to bother them, no cyclists weaving their way in-and-out, no BMW's cutting them up and on and on and on.. And they've been offered an additional whackload to extend this “service to the public” at night... I just pray and hope these sodding strikes are the prelude to them writing their own death warrant – and that beautiful robot driven automated trains arrive ASAP.... and that unemployed tube train drivers soon have to seek some real work, driving a London bus!!!! |
