No the rule is that if 2 people from the same family are on the bus the more senior of the 2 gets the seat, as is proper. The younger one (even if they are an adult) however has to sit on the elder?s lap so as not to take up other people?s seats.

Then maybe your chubbiness may be FAT to someone else?

I reckon if I met Roger Moore on a bus, he standing, I sitting I'd get up and offer my seat to him.

He'd charmingly refuse, but I'd insist saying it was a matter of principle on my part to offer my seat to a senior citizen.

He'd accept my offer with effusive thanks and I'd demur saying that there was no need and that I was no saint.

At which point we'd both make full eye contact and both chant the riff from The Saint DU DU DU DU DER DEEEER and Roger would mime looking up at the cartoon halo as he used to do at the beginning of each show.

Generally thought by most to be his very finest eyebrow work, by the way.

Anyway, the person next to him gets up, I take their seat and Roger regales me with stories about what a complete nuisance Richard Harris was on the shoot of The Wild Geese all the way to Waterloo Station.


If it's Sean Connery though I wouldn't bother. He can go and bloody scratch as far as I'm concerned.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?


Are you an offended fatty by any chance, karter?

LMFAO! This is hilarious!


I'm so glad I saw this, as I was feeling so down in the dumps from Cath Balan's animal cruelty threads...


I get sat on by fat people all the time. I think they take advantage, because I don't take up my whole seat! It's either that or I have somebody elbowing me while they eat or read their newspaper. Urgh! I hate being touched by strangers! I feel violated!!

Let just add a note of caution to Giggi's very sensible proposition that a child should be seated on an adult's lap in order to free up a seat for a standee.

Should Roger Moore and his son Geoffrey be sitting on the bus don't expect Roger to take Geoffrey on his lap, Geoff is fully-growed now and his weight could play hob with Roger's knees. Not that Geoff's fat or anything, just sturdy.

Mind you, why isn't he giving his seat up instaed of expecting his old dad to cause irrepairable damage to his legs by by 'lapping' him.

Just who the hell does he think he is? The bloody insufferable pup, with his towering sense of entitlement.


Anyway if Sean Connery is standing on the bus, kick him in the slats. B@stard.


Edited because my spelling suffers when I get a bit worked up.

Thinking about it if Forsyth and Corbett were sitting on the bus together, would it be in order to expect Bruce to take Ronnie on his lap to make room for a 'standee'.

I'd say yes, but then I will admit to not giving a toss about Brucie's knees as opposed to Roger's.

Mind I'm sure that the two of them would then launch into an 'improv' of a vent act and entertain all the passengers, I reckon even the older standees would forget their aching knees and instead be clutching their aching sides at the free mirth-fest the two old golfing Water Rats would be providing (all except Sean Connery of course, he'd be pointedly staring out of the window and tut-tutting under his breath, the jive-ass turkey).


Mind I'd still dob Brucie in to Big Vern and advise him to offer violence to the pencil-neck mofo.

    • I’d just like local family businesses to not be shut down by big chains, and I think we should support local businesses and our community. I’m sure they are very nice people who pay their taxes too.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.
