Back clot

On the day:

On the way: 
What the . . . ? Crikey! What's happening to me? I can't understand a word people are saying on the bus. Why can't I understand a word people are saying on the bus? I've lost the power to understand a word people are saying . . . 
Oh, I'm back in Lewisham. That makes sense. 
Clot.

Fluster clot

On the day: 
10/09/2013 

On the way: 
The 28's doors close but one commuter is still hurtling hell for leather along the pavement. 
He pops out of the peripheral into windscreen view, patting it in polite desperation, then bursts through the reopened doors in a fluster of suited and booted bathroom freshness and says . . . "Merci" 
Merci? Merci? Where does he think he is? 
"Geneva," says Jean.
Oh yeah. That rocks 
"Clot."

Blobby clot

On the day: 
06/09/2013 

On the way: 
Nine rows ahead, protruding above the headrest, a huge pink plastic orb with a few black scrapes here and there. Presumably sustained as Mr Blobby bashed his head on his way through the doorway of the plane. "It's the cello," says Jean. 
Oh yeah, the  cello. That rocks. 
"Clot"

Rocking the classic

On the day:

On the way: 
Is there anything cooler than a guitar strapped, fretboard-downpointed, Springsteen-style, across their back? Classic.
