I say, "If the escort is offering me a piggy back, that's fine."
They say, "Um..."
They say, "You can't go in the subway."
They say, "Um..."

I'd just like to say at this point - you know, in case I never get the opportunity again - that it's been really nice knowing you.
My word, that was a long post! You'll be writing a sequel to War and Peace next!
You need a jetpack!
I shall commence constructing you one forthwith, out of old Special-Brew cans, bra straps & lighter fuel.

Ever since Daleks learned to hover up staircases, they think everyone can do it...
