I was running for a train in a pathetically ‘girly’ way last night. The doors of the train were closing and I assumed I’d missed it. There was a small bunch of lads on the platform - a standard group of 14 year old Scouse scallies, all sportswear and skinhead haircuts. One of them saw me tottering down the stairs and leapt energetically onto the train and wedged its doors open, much to the dismay of the guard. “Ee are, yer get’n on this one?” I looked at the guard, then at the boy and said “Ah, cheers mate!” and squeezed past the lad onto the train. Sure, it was unorthodox, potentially hazardous, but what an act of chivalry from this lovely young man!"
Well, after his selfless act in front of his mates, I couldn't lecture him on safety, could I? Whatever his name is, I salute him and award him an ASBO in absentia. God bless him!
I'm sending the story to you. Unfortunately I won't meet this person again to award him an ASBO, but in his way he has proven himself to be ALRIGHT, SENSATIONAL, BEAUTIFUL and ORIGINAL:
