    Had to run like buggery to get the bus earlier, with boots jeans and a backpack with a laptop and a load of stuff in, so doing that 'old man running carefully' kinda gait. Anyway, I make it on and sit down and then spend a minute or so trying to catch my breath without making too much of a scene (veh British) and as part of this am slowly exhaling out of my nose, as much as my body doesn't want to do this.

    I keep hearing this weird squeak on exhaling, which I start to get quite self-conscious about, because it's quite fucking loud, never mind more than a bit weird, so I try limiting myself more until it stops and I come to a calm. All good.

    About two minutes later I hear the squeaks again, out of sync with my breathing and it's only at that point I realise the large bag on the lap of the girl opposite has a mewling kitten in it, this time looking out at me as if to come and save it.

      What's your beef with buses? They're the lifeblood of London, after the tube.
