Oh I get it. I'll bring it up with the police, next time they want me to move when I'm stopped at a red light and they're in a hurry.
Some enforced days off. The cab is in for its yearly overhaul and relicencing. Time for some culture. There is a long queue outside the National Gallery, but round the corner is the recently refurbished National Portrait Gallery. Some are familiar, some are very skillful, and some are inimitably of their time. I like Meredith Frampton, but I feel like a tourist, and I think I prefer drinking beer up the road in Wetherspoons for £3.49 a pint during the day. It's October, right?
Neatly combed hair goes a long way towards making a favorable first impression.
I never understood the connection between appearance and competence, beyond personal hygiene. Something I remember about being 18. I'm aware that's a minority view, but I still do a job where appearance is irrelevant.
Similarly, how does wrapping some colored fabric around one's neck make one a better worker?
Seems like that's mostly died off in USA#n, outside of government jobs.
What’s with the British fetish for metals and silly uniforms.
General Grant mostly dressed like a disheveled private, and he was instrumental in the North winning the war between the States.

Is it the Catholics who say that feeling sorry for others is a sin? A Scottish lady left £60 in cash in the cab yesterday, and I put it in an envelope, addressed "By Hand. FAO The Scottish Lady..." and posted it today in her concierge-less, Mayfair apartment block, and maybe it was to create art, but maybe it taught me a lesson. A lady with a highly disabled boy going to North Finchley last night, a lady with learning difficulties going to Old Street this afternoon, both from King's Cross. Why not do such jobs for free and create more art? In any case, I'm going up north again for a few days' holiday before the mayhem of xxxxmas, paid for with my money.
Grant snorted zoo dust and sucked pond sum...
Actually, he didn't. He was too busy freeing the slaves. And inventing modern warfare.
I'm saying that Stonewall Jackson was trash himself. Him, Lee, and all the rest of them Rebs.
