Oli – someone was bound to ask that. I’m using a screen reader, basically an overpriced bit of software that outputs whatever is on my screen in a symthetic voice for me.
To save everyone time, the answers to the next questions are:
Yes i can make it swear like a trooper on demand
Yes angry does sound hilarious as a ranting robot
Yes there are plenty of girly voices available for all your sworded fiction needs
No, there aren’t any fit sounding ones though.

The weird thing is that I’m blind, and whenever I’m out with the stick or i’ve stolen someone elses guide dog its actually an effort to stay standing up.
Seriously theres been quite a few occasions when someone who knows maybe 10 words of english and is quite clearly petrified of disabled people and dogs has felt it necessary to do their bit “Seat…you please… seat there”.
Not that i want to seem ungrateful, I’m a lazy sod and its handy, but it surprised me that they’d do it for me but wouldn’t budge up for a pregnant lass who hasn’t got the dreaded lergy in any way and isn’t holding a pointy thing.
nice blog btw Angry, sorry i came out of the woodwork with a bit of a novel. I shall restrain myself in future.

Er, people are always really nice to me. They offered me seats even when I was young, slim and unpregnant. On London tubes and everything.
Smile more?

As a woman i should dispute that but you’re right women in 4X4s can’t drive. This is because they think they own the road and since they work on the principal of mine is bigger than yours, people will make way for them… WRONG! I never let 4X4s out, least of all ones driven by women. And i’ll be preparing to ram them if they’re on the fekkin school run.

Marycub – and they can’t drive either.

easy. if they’re old, i get up. if they look about nineteen months pregnant, i offer my seat. anything less and it’s not worth the punch in the face. i know about this. i once got asked if i was pregnant. i wasn’t. i was just fifteen stone.

the horror…..

Good point Geena, maybe it’s to make up for their lack of 4X4 – its an either or situ – queen of the road or queen of the pavement!

ellie – I’m wating for the inevitable, “But I’m more disabled than you!” argument between two mentally ill folk.

But where does it end? Do we have to give up our seats for serious overweight people? Do we ask how many months along the pregant moms are? What about old people? Shouldn’t Four Dinners have been qualified somehow before having a seat offered? Maybe carded? When I’m wearing high heels, I certainly feel entitled to a high priorty seat, right?

Geena – Hello, de-lurk away, the relentless hotness makes us all do weird things

Oli – Women with buggies should be made to take a driving test of some sort

Jorge – Well done (on giving up the seat and threatening a hippy)

BoT – You did well, if I’d been in your shoes violence may have ensued. It makes me mad when I have relation to the people forced to stand.

A young lad offered me his seat on a train. I’m only 48. I could cry. I was a bit pissed and having a struggle remaining perpendicular though. Hopefully it was this n not me aged appearance..

Seriously, not ever bar the one time she was pregnant with number 2. We’d spent the day in town with our eldest in a push chair. She was flagging, and we got into a stuffed Jubilee line train. No one moved, so I my intimidating best and glared at this pair of fat f*&^s, and asked one to move.

This is by no means a London thing. Not long ago, in Madrid, I stood up to let a pregnant lady take my seat, and a stupid fucker sat down!!

He was one of those fucking flea-ridden, dirty dreads hippy types. He didn’t take it too kindly when I informed him that the seat was for the lady, and there was nothing to discuss. I guess my skinhead looks (Martens, black bomber, shaven head) did part of the job persuading the cunt.

Have to agree about some women with buggies, some are ok, others use there childeren as a battering ram to get through crowds. Whenever they run into someone they glare at the poor person making it see like it was their fault that they were walking down the street.

the worst is when you have 2 or three side by side so the mothers can talk, not that im against mothers talking, just not when doing so blocks a whole pavement off.

Oli – He was reading James Patterson, so he was probably of less than average intelligence.

BoT – Honestly? Not even once?

RD – Exactly, it doesn’t hurt does it. I mean the compassion, not the beating people up for a hobby.

Zed – They make excellent lager too. A wonderful people the Belgians.

Dr Clip – “I’m the one who worked all day” ha ha ha ha!!!
