Yeah, that one.and I thought, 'I had better get out of here,' and then there was a explosion in the distance and a cloud of black smoke went up on the next block and the traffic lights went out and I said Oh Fuck Me and zoomed away quick smart), there have been more emergency service vehicles on the road than usual.
Which means more fire trucks, the friendliest of the emergency vehicles! Fire trucks always make me smile. They shouldn't, because they mean that something is burning that isn't supposed to, but they do anyway. They're just so cheerful. I have crafted an analogy: if ambulances are the boyfriend who is nice but far too serious and insists on discussing philosophy all the time, and police cars are the boyfriend who is cool but a little too scary to show to your parents, then fire engines are the boyfriend who will walk your dog on the beach and bring you fish and chips.
When I grow up, I am going to marry a fire engine.
Right now I am going to go and get a haircut.

Hang in there Ally in Shaky Town. Us Jafas DO care.
Hey - fire truck is also rilly rude if you spoonerise it too!
Truly the most lovable of the emergency services.
SueAnn - They're just so friendly-looking! I don't think of them in, you know, *that* way. I am not a fire truck pervert.
Phil - I saw an awesome tweet on the morning of the quake - "Christchurch upstages Auckland traffic jam" or something like that. I hope the quake does not reach Auckland - the lattes that would be spilt! (Just kidding, though. Thank you for your kind thoughts.) I remember the first time I spoonerised firetruck - my mother was less that impressed.
Andrea - I know! They are so NICE
Don't worry, no one's burning. There's just lots of kittens stuck in trees.
I always thought Friar Tuck was hilarious for the same reason. But then I did call my parents Dum & Mad when I was about seven
cE - That is such a good point! Guilt gone.
Phil - HAHAHA I never thought of that one. Friar Tuck. Hehe. Tell your friends.
