Me, me, me! Keyplus once told me I should try wearing a burka. He assured my husband would still love me. Phew! What a relief! Everso grateful I was.

The FirstBus job vacancy website states:

take great pride in delivering a friendly and professional service.
Anyone see that the driver didn’t quite live up to this?

There you go, Naomi. Plenty to choose from here.

[naomi24]

Lovely!

Saw Sandy's ad. Not a burqa in sight.

Now this is more like it:

Now what is wrong with them?

[naomi24]

Oooo .. Mr v_e, you are a one! When Keyplus first suggested I wear a burka I said my husband would think I’d lost my marbles ….. but now …. hmmmm …. he could be quite taken with the idea after all!

That's what happens when you employ Polish bus drivers, they manage to upset the locals.

The irony is lost on all the apologists.

Just-Jude - // The irony is lost on all the apologists. //

Who are 'the apologists', and what are they apologising for?

[Mamyalynne]

Don't set em off again Andy, think they've gone to a fancy dress do.

[naomi24]

Always wise, I feel, to have a nice little black dress in the wardrobe. So versatile.

[Mamyalynne]

Very true.

/// The irony is lost on all the apologists. ///

Blimey I thought the word 'apologist' was a banned word on this site, or was it because I dared to place the name of a certain religion in front of the word, that necessitated it to being 'removed' by the Mods?

[Mamyalynne]

Who knows.

[anotheoldgit]

Mamyalynne

I think you do even though the Ed has confirmed that you are not a Mod.

Thought any more of the level playing field that I suggested which incidentally was also removed for some strange reason?

[Mamyalynne]

I have no idea why the word apologist is removed when directed at someone personally, the Eds may do.

My life is pretty level thank you.
