[15:04] That's no ORDINARY bus!
There was a bus parked out front this afternoon with a most impressive display of icons on the back window which, I assume, were advertising it's amazing attributes and abilities. Here's what the back window display looked like:
- Our driver has a spiky beard and wears a cycling helmet - beware!
- I assume this pertains to passenger refreshment - All Beers and Spirits. It could be the drivers refreshments of course, which would explain the helmet.
- Licensed to seat 66, with an Enhanced Concubine Enclosure that seats 66. Concubines for all!
- When you're all beer and spirited out and you've finished your concubine - have some freshly brewed coffee...
- and relax with your own personal entertainment system!
- I'm not sure if these means "We have Super levitating seats!" or "Caution: Inhaling the Stench of stockinged feet could cauterise your nose!".
- Should our be-helmeted driver be overcome by the sock stench and drive off a cliff, this bus is equipped with parachutes! Tell Ma that you're going to be OK!
- You're going to have A Super Ride

[14:15] More Unicylcing
I've been out nearly every night this week getting in a bit of practice and I'm reasonably comfortable with general pavement riding now. I can cruise without fear of decapitating a small child if I suddenly lose balance and I've barely lost a pint of blood from gouges this week so I decided to step up the difficulty and tackle my first wall today.
Obviously my jumping skills aren't that great yet so I have to start by stepping up onto the wall (it's only about half a metre high) but I CAN ride off and land without causing too much damage! It's amazing how much harder riding in a straigt line is when all of a sudden you HAVE to ride in a straight line or plummet to ashphalty death!
All-in-all I'm really loving this whole unicycling thing; I'm not moving at light speed or anything but I can approach a mild jog as opposed to walking-speed and it's got the added bonus of turning almost any surface into a magical bouncing playground. It's a very similar feeling to the one I used to get when I was a wee nipper and I used to take my bike out for a cruise. I look forward to when I can get down an entire flight of stairs, and back up, without dismounting.
