It shouldn't seem creepy, but it really does. If they want buses to seem friendlier, they shouldn't use a grinning, middle-aged white guy talking about his dead wife. That's exactly the kind of guy I'm hoping I won't sit next to.

that has a frotteur necrophiliac vibe all over it.

As any fan of Torchwood knows, his wife is probably a zombie brought back by aliens and deposited in Cardiff

Poignant. He seems too young to be a widower. May he find true love again aboard the buses of Cardiff.

"...for British Eyes Only!"

Fnarf--awesome set of photos i've been trying to tell my friends how awful (seriously, it was gross making Pioneer Square look like a high school dance) a week in Cardiff was after a month in Madrid, where they party late, but not with the banality of Cardiff.

And man, confirming any doubts we had about the beauty of Spaniards vs. Englishperson. ick.

Hilarious.

Just looked at a picture on wikipedia about Cardiff. It was of a new fleet of double decker busses. Pretty sweet looking I must say.

@8 - well of course she's unpunctual, the bus is late.

Clearly, he means that they were lately married.
