And the correct answer is?
2:45pm. Board the no. 11 bus. The driver hardly seems to notice me and grunts what I think is a response to my cheery hello. (Although maybe it’s indigestion.) The bus is remarkably empty for the time of day. In fact there is no-one else on the lower deck. Great choice of seats. Notice that it is remarkably clean for a number 11. In fact it seems like the indigestion-laden driver had just driven the pristine vehicle out off an Alexander Bus showroom.
I love it when you’ve a choice of seats. I never sit in the same place twice, if I can help it. But given a choice, I do like to sit around the point of the rear axle. Too far back or too far forward is dangerous for a girl prone to travel sickness. You get thrown around like a rag doll.
A dishevelled elderly man boards clutching something that looks suspiciously like a whiskey bottle in a brown paper bag. I try not to make eye contact. Can’t tell if he is drunk or if his staggering is due to the driver’s erratic driving. (He probably has a packet of Rennies back at the depot.)(I mean the driver, of course. The drunk probably has a couple of bottles back at the depot.)
Like I was, the new passenger is spoiled for choice given the n-1 clean, new seats available He walks past every one. And sits far too close to me. Then suddenly and theatrically he gets up and in a boozy, strung out way asks if I mind he sits here?
Mmmm. Don’t you just hate that.

Taoisigh in Glass Houses!
Not content with muddling his way through the "Gift/Loan" crisis, Bertie Ahern has risked the wrath of Roman by questioning one of central tenets of Catholicism. In Leinster House, whilst under pressure from Enda "why use one word when you can throw in a couple more and six for the pot" Kenny, Pat "Don't come the common man with me, bucko" Rabbitte and Joe "the Comedian" Higgins, our erstwhile Taoiseach boldly announced that "no-one is infallible."
It comes as a great relief to blankpaige that the parliamentary onslaught didn't provoke Mr Ahern into an unnecessary swipe at Islam also. He is in enough bother as it is! It strikes me that what with a failed marriage, temporary financial difficulties, inappropriate gifts/loans, long-term support for Manchester United, a liberal attitude to ethics, recurrent temporary amnesia, the sacking of a junior ministers for the same behaviour, writing blank cheques, not remembering who you bought your house from and having friends with strange monikers such as "Paddy the Plasterer", our man in Drumcondra isn't really in a position to start questioning the Pontiff.Taoisigh in glass houses shouldn't start throwing brown envelopes, me thinks.Blankpaige
