Sexy Firemen? ... supposedly.
I had an appointment in Temple Fortune last week on thursday afternoon and unfortunately it ended right in the midst of rush hour and manic driving.
So there i am heading home in my little car at 6pm singing along to my cd - then realising no one was actually in the car with me and people around me will know im singing along so i then tried my hardest to sing without moving my lips... of course the problem then arose that it turned out to be rather amusing (i was tired enough for anything to be funny) and the result was me laughing at myself and still by myself, all alone in my car, which overall, looked worse than me just singing along to my cd which a lot of people do anyway............. SOOO i just gave up and sat staring ahead of me tapping my finger to the beat.
(phew... breather from that rant)
Of course, at some point when you are stuck in a traffic jam, some sort of emergency service has to come along with blue lights flashing on their way to some supposed emergency (but we all blatently know they just got bored waiting and want to push through)
This is always terribly inconvenient because even in a small car, when theres no where to move to... there is seriously no where to go.
Its not like playing with matchbox cars that you can just pick up and move to the desired destination!
All the cars are now reversing, going forwards onto the curb, honking, panicing (sp?), all trying our damn hardest to move out the way as fast as possible. Finally a pathway is made and, on this occasion, the fire engine could zoom past to save the day where it was needed.
Now i think i can say this on behalf of many people, that firemen have this label attached to them of being rather sexy and all muscular and tend to be found running into burning buildings rescuing a damsel in distress running out with her over his shoulder and then the romance blossoms... well.... hm, getting a bit carried away there!
Moving on swiftly...
So there i am daydreaming about where they were rushing off to and i eventually reach a stretch of road thats clear from all other commuters and race down it to gain some time lost sitting in irritating queues.
Suddenly, Looming up ahead of me is the fire engine pulled over lights still flashing and i get all excited at the prospect of witnessing this rescue mission and very prepared to become the hero of the day and rush out to help! (not sure how much of a help i would have been though... more of an obstruction!)
Eagerly peering closely as i approached (slowing down to a reasonable speed) ... i spot a slightly unexpected scenario.
Two rather plump grey haired firemen standing beside a bin, at a bus stop, with smoke bellowing out of it and very unceremoniously holding a hose inside it and putting it out.
It shattered my fantasy! They looked more like scruffy builders in Firemen suits than the image id conjured up!
Ah well.. it still made me smile at my naivety that firemen are all drop dead gorgeous!! .. i can still dream...
Also - i just watched Dancing on Ice final and have decided to become an ice dancer... WATCH THIS SPACE (for a while... for a very very very long time and mabye one day it will happen....possibly...but not very likely!)

the funny thing is can totally picture you in ur car doing that. the sadder thing is i can picture myself in my car doing the exact same thing.
