To think that being on the bones of your arse means getting public transport

[Kingcyrolophosarus]

not ordering a minicab because it's £20 cheaper than a black cab

i was thinking that you would be lucky to be able to afford public transport and that walking would be the option...

oh how wrong i was!

YANBU - would definitely mean Shanks' Mare round here.

Well, I wouldn't expect him to walk 10 miles, but WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TUBE??!!

You need to take loans to afford bus fares near me

YANBU
Shanks' pony Is as good as a cab any day, and far healthier

It would be walking here too

Public transport is really expensive, if there's more than 1 of you, it's actually cheaper to get a cab

Depends where you are. In many places a taxi is similar to/cheaper than public transport especially if there is more than one adult.

Ok, well the tube will cost about £3, a minicab about £45, a black cab about £65
He's trying to justify the £45, but cries to me that we are "on the bones of our arse"

I think it's time to change the "our" in that comment to "my" / "his"...

Could be right Moonlight!
