Sinister: I'm Not. Fucking. Twee.

...and I can prove it. I was getting on a bus the other day, grasping
a tenner in a warm hand.
'Ain't got change of a tenner, mate. You'll have to go in the shop,'
the less-than-cheery driver indicated by grunting 'Nah' and poking a
simian fist in the direction of the local newsagent.
'I've *been* in the shop,' I said, patiently, but with a hint of dark
menace in my voice, 'and they haven't *got* change.'
The evolutionary throwback at the wheel waved a podgy appendage at a
neighbouring establishment, as if to suggest I spend the rest of my
days travelling from shop to shop in the vague hope of splitting this
monstrous denomination.
I cracked.
'Look,' I said firmly, 'I'm just going to get on.' and with that I
marched the length of the bus and plonked a pair of righteous
buttocks into a window seat.
'Eeerh! Naaah!' roared the Neanderthal indignantly.
I sat my ground.
The tension mounted. A pair of grannies, narked, no doubt, by the
driver's pig-headedness, disembarked to continue their journey on
foot. Juddering, the engine spluttered and died.
I stormed up to the aisle. 'It's *legal* fucking *TENDER*,' I
thundered, waving the tenner angrily in that fuckwit's mouch. 'Now
DRIVE!'
Unmoved, he folded his arms and prepared to sit it out. But it was
not to be. A charming lady member of the proletariat, resplendent in
cheap H Samuel merchandise - her ear was clanging like cutlery in a
sack - came to my aid.
Was it right, I asked myself, to allow so obviously impoverished a
specimen pay my seventy pence toll?
Of course it fucking was. This is life and I'm playing hardball.
On a belle and sebbie related note, I think I speak for us all when I
point out that Isabelle has a whiney, annoying, cloyingly twee voice
and an arse the size of a small Eastern European nation.
She can shove her family tree.
