Saturday 3.30am

Leave club, the bus stop is only three metres away. We sit down and within thirty seconds a bus arrives with the sign saying "Not in Service".

Signal anyway and it pulls over, we get on and as I dip my pass, the bus driver shakes head;
"Don't waste your money."
Sit towards the front because bus is empty. Bus driver asks;
"Where do you wanna go?"
We were not so drunk as too confuse a bus for a taxi so pause.
"Town Hall"
"Please"
Bus revs off, we are all smiles. Bus stops, we get off. Drunk man tries to get on. Rejected. Angrily punches door. Bus stops again and driver yells and threatens. Drunk backs down, mutters under breath.

Taxi driver drives on wrong side of road and hums tetris themesong.

Get home, quiet, tiptoe. No parents, loud, share grapes. Goodnight.

Wake up, sailing, beer.
