Rar CJ

CJ is coming back - rar rar rar!

I've developed a very simple trust metric

I'm selling a single bed from my room for GBP 20, buyer collects.

The other day I went to see a pimp recruitment consultant at Windsor station. As I waited for the train home, a man cycled down the plaform, ringing his bell and politely saying "excuse me...excuse me!" in a rather posh voice to the others waiting; they stood aside so he could cycle to the other end of the platform and on to the bridge leading to... I don't know, somewhere else in Windsor. A few seconds later, about five police belted it down the platform at top speed in hot pursuit. They disappeared onto the bridge... only to re-emerge a few minutes later, sans cyclist, with *very* sour faces.

I have to admire the wonderful cheek of simply saying "excuse me" and making everyone stand aside like that! I wonder what they wanted him for?

I remember being in Tesco one day and being barged past by a man holding a bottle of whisky who seemed in a hurry. He apologised quickly, but quite politely. A few seconds later, however, I was roughly and rudely pushed aside by the security guard without any of the politeness the shoplifter had shown...

"Excuse me, terribly sorry... do beg your pardon, I'm a robber. Thanks ever so, 'preciate it. Hello? Er, excuse me, I don't suppose you could... thank you so much. Excuse me, terribly sorry, escaping the cops, don't you know... why *thank* you! Most kind... Hello? I've just stolen a policeman's bike and they're chasing me I don't suppose you could... Oh, *thanks*!"

A very Ealing comedy moment I'm sure, you could almost imagine the cyclist being portrayed by Alec Guinness

Heard over the station PA system last time I was in Kings Cross:
This is a special announcement. Will the man cycling down Platform 4 please stop it now. I mean you sir. That's right. Now run along and don't do it again.
