Real Stories From The Underground

I do bad things on the tube.


I take pictures of people when they aren't looking and sometimes write about them - bullet notes in the back of my notebook like this:

Sitting next to a boy desperately coating himself in Allure Pour Homme as if his life depended on it. Mad US tourists with bottoms like wobbly half-filled water bags cramming in and shouting "one stop" to their party. Walk you fools!



Exasperated camp man in a bright green polo shirt has flumped next to me in a huff. I can see his tummy. His shirt doesn't fit which mirrors his manner in a funny but awkward way. He is reading the list of ingredients on a jar of marmalade.



Today is an odd day on the tube.


Anyway this is all by way of saying that my dedicated Tube Tales site now has a new home HERE.


Enjoy.

lmfo. . Im afraid I have the compulsive disorder of 'People watch'. Not so much what they look like, type of clothes etc. Their attitudes and behavior.

Hands up. . I do get addicted to reality shows. Cant believe certain people exsist on certain attitudes to life, people, say so etc.

When i was younger. .I Laughed and took the absolute rise of em. The older I get. . . Feel incredibly sorry and compassionate for their loss of evolving with the generation time, parents doctoring etc. As i feel it definately is not down to education or inteligence in todays world.

When thrown back n amazed by it all. I do have a tendency to sit back and see how that sort of individuals will pan out in life/society.

My Mum was a true example unfortunately. Things shot out her mouth without a thought of the hurt n pain it may cause to others. She knew she had this fault. . .yet never ever curved it.

If she was unhappy, the rest of the household was made to feel the same. Took it out on everyone. No one around her was aloud to be happy. Never would except help let alone advise. . . see, be corrected for no man or beast. (pride and stuburness i guess).

Absolute carbon copy. . .to my Nan, all the qualities she hated in her Mum. .

Interesting ha. . .lmfaao. So i see now Why im fasinated with 'people watchin'' xx
