SHACK 205 ONLY

Love this pic

'You only live once', the man sitting in the carriage said very grimly, fixing us with a stare that intimated 'defy me '.  The lady sitting opposite said ' yes, that's what frightens me, I want to do so many things and there may not be enough time to cram them in before the 'you know who' takes one away, life is so very, very cruel. 

They looked at me and I felt if I say about reincarnation and so on it would provoke an argument and not discussion and it was a long journey ahead. So I said I did not know and just take each day as it comes. The man then said in a commanding tone 'you should put your house in order, make a will save up for the future'.  The lady chimed in ' Have you a family if so you should make sure they have a good time and not let time drag or grass grow under their feet'.

I said I would take their advice and views on board, the man then said in a stern and daring look ' you mustn't dilly dally and let the grass grow under your feet, take life by the scruff of the neck and go for it, taking a chance on the day is just pussy footing around the problems that life brings up, seems to me you're too laid back' he then looked out of the window and half laughed and grimaced. The lady then said ' He's right you know, take his advice, take an insurance policy, do some investment'.

I felt trapped if I left the carriage I felt I was a coward, if I took him on, I felt he could get violent and the lady would back him up. So I just breathed and relaxed and tried to meditate. The man then said ' look at him, he looks like a sheep, I bet by the look of him he is jobless and a lazy lounger', the woman said 'I am sorry to say this but you do look scruffy and this is a first class carriage'.

The attendant came in and said 'there has been an incident and a passenger is unwell, we noticed on the passenger itinerary you are a doctor could you help?  I said I am a doctor of science and I am sorry I cannot help, however I am well up in first aid it that will be of use? The attendant said she would come back to me if it was felt to be of use. 

The lady and the man in the carriage just looked at their newspapers and when the man got up to leave the carriage he said ' fucking scientists all they do is get paid a lot of money for creating bombs and weapons and killing us with pollution'.  The lady then rang for the attendant and asked if their was a seat elsewhere, she left angry and white faced, she had left a book on the seat and I said 'excuse me madam you have left your book behind' She said 'I'm a miss and you can stick the book where it fits' and marched head held high down the corridor. I looked at the book cover and the title 'How to build better relationships and communication'
