Drunk dood on the tube talking rubbish, whats my country come to? Had to stifle Jays urge to punch the dood. I was just waiting for the drunkard to start then react. No point aggravating the situation, just keep things calm. At the end (no doubt to the delight of the other passengers) i persuaded him to leave the train and get off at my stop to allow the station staff to sort him out.
Then on the way home a women with her young son (Eastern european?) was calling at me. I was thinking "oh no what is this" She wanted to use my phone to make a call to her husband because she was out of credit. Took one look at the kid and thought what the hell. Man was she in tears. Maybe he got in trouble, maybe his been cheating on his wife, maybe his been gone a few days? Who knows, it made me feel bad though to be a guy. I was once in that kids shoes, so i knew how he felt. Old enough to understand, but not old enough to help his mama. When she wasn't looking i slipped the kid the present i bought for my mum. I motioned him to hide it in his jacket. hehe. I think his a smart kid, his gonna have to grow up fast though. Hopefully he can take advantage of the opportunities our country can offer him.
Made one mistake though, i left my receipt in the bag! I paid with my card, don't think my details are on it since they hide the numbers these days.
Been a pretty good samaritan i think. Its alls good, alls good.
