I remember riding along with @Skülly once and we were going to overtake a bus. Well, I say riding along with, it was more he was waiting for me at the end of the road like he did every morning back in those days and then he'd follow me around telling me where I'd gone wrong in life and how I should think about 'the Spanish'. In fact he was on an electric bike, well, electric bike is not quite right, what it was, he had a car battery in his napsack and he'd wired it up to his testicles so every time he wanted a boost he'd press a little switch and he'd shoot forward like the proverbial. He did smell something rotten of singed pubic hair but Skully being Skully he didn't mind.
Where was I? Oh yes, we were riding along, Skully giving out about the Spanish and we came up behind a bus that was pulling in to let a party of pensioners on. Thinking about it now, that might be what started it because Skully always had this thing about old people. Did I mention I first met him when he had just done a ten stretch for burning down a Help the Aged shop?
Well, there we were, coming up behind this bus, with the pensioners queueing up and suddenly. Hold on a second, there's someone at the door, be right back.
