Bus driver chucks chained goth couple off his bus

[UnquietDad]

article here

What do we make of this?

I imagine they were paying fares like anyone else, and the bus-driver doesn't have "fashion police" on his job description.

I mean, I think they look pretty daft, but then they might think I looked daft as well. (There's probably some truth in the comment on the DM page about looking back on it in 10 years and finding it embarrassing.)

Although...

Dani Graves. Chortle.

(Do they take the chain off at night, I wonder? Or when one of them needs a shit?)

bundle - perhaps the driver was worried that the mirror might freak out any vampires out in daylight (in Sunblock 75, obviously) and their "lifestyle choices" not to have a reflection.

snurk UQD

ooh ooh-has anyone said...she must be barking?

i'll get me coat

She must be frozen. Doesn't she know that pets have furry coats?

Great figure though

I was just about to ... bitch

LOL desi

I really must get a grip I've been laughing about this story all day

is it even worse form than having a feminist hissyfit to say that I disagree that she's got a great figure...?
It's sort of .. thin, but somehow lumpen and undefined..
it won't last, you mark my words. These goths, it's all over for them before they're 29, you know.

Walkies

I was most entertained by one of the comments below the story:

"Ask Dani if he wants a male pup.

• Malcolm, Blackpool"

I wouldn't let them on my bus

The bus would topple over with the weight of people all going like this at the same time.

Pathetic. Don't wear a lead you silly little moo.

i have to say i agree with cods comments about her being so embarrassed in a few years time.

i went through a goth phase when i was 17-20, wore a dog collar (not like that one, and not on a chain mind, and i was definitely no-one's pet - mine had spikes!)

i do look back and think wtf, esp listening to Korn, Machinehead, even Slipknot and Marilyn Manson

nowadays i'm 26, prefer acoustic/folky stuff and go to church, so i often wonder what the 18 yr old me would think of me now!

as for him he's past the growing out of it age, he'll be a sad old goth forever, with a long line of 'pets' i should expect.

i think thsoe peopel takign this seriously really need to take a look at themsevlvs
this is a pari of pampered teenagers indulgin themslves.
not a problem at all

apart form when peopel dress liek nu'as then say

"ooh er he is laughing at me"

i mean come ON

imo only really UGLY peopel stay goth

LOL at her living the easy life as a pet and might be thinking if starting a family.

How long will her pet status last, I wonder

and as an aside, I wonder if she lies in front of the fire and licks her arse in the evenings

is it actually.. hygienic? to have a goth in the house?

@martianbishop. Great trick if you can do it.

Lord if every "weirdo" was chucked off of public transport buses and trains would be empty .

Last time I looked it was not a crime to look silly!!

My first though was ''That Agnes Nitt what calls herself Perditax''

My 2nd thought is 'now's there's a budding business opportunity.... a business offering tiny studded collars and chains for the offspring of such a couple...

agreee, she needs to make way more effort in her wardrobe to be a proper goth

What's with that article? I don't see why the fact that they live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family is relevant (that's a whole other argument and one that I would run away from, screaming for my mother )

They are very very young, remember. In a few years he'll be an estate agent and she'll be an office manager, they'll have 2.4 kids, a dog, a volvo and a mortgage and they'll both be cringing at photos of themselves and the things they said. (I speak from experience. )

I do love young 'uns. They speak of being 'Individuals' and berate you for expecting them to 'Conform', they tell you how unique they are and how they don't feel they should have to be like everyone else........and yet they all look the same, act the same and say the same things.

And they all think they are the first ones to do these things, say these things or join the Socialist Workers Party.

Lol at Fields Of The Napalm!!! I used to love The Mission but why would anybody want to look like Wayne Hussy?!! jack Daniels and cigarette lighters out now folks!

Seriously, if she was my daughter I'd be really worried about what kind of statement she thinks she is making with this.

But why it's anything to do with a bus driver, I have no idea. Maybe they ask on their interviews now if they have ever had aspirations to join the Fashion Gestapo and only hire them if they can spot vintage Westwood/McClaren at 30 paces?

A friend's daughter was a goth. Then she met a rich plumber on a night out and now she's a chav, apparently.

Have you notices that all adult goths are astonishingly conformist and generally middle class, with added skull rings?

(not that that;s a bad thing, just puzzles me rather)

£20 she'll be shopping in Waitrose by the time she's 30

surely having a teen goth is most middle class parent's dream?

I mean, goths who aren't 'exploring' gender roles in a reeeelly subversive manner.

I thought it was a good come-back by the bus garage to claim Health & Safety stopped prevented people on leads being on buses. Wonder how long it too them to work that one out? . I can't see that being part of the bus regulations somehow.

Being a pedant, I will just mention (if no one else has ) that the bus driver was certainly wrong in one respect. If she's a pet she cannot be a dog.... they are male. She might find being called a bitch more offensive though.
