The phrase ‘lifesaver’ is often over used about everything, from someone having a plaster to being able to buy a cup of tea on a train. But to call a bra a lifesaver is not exaggeration – at least not for this woman, whose life was quite literally saved by her bra. What a garment the bra is!

It was certainly clever of the folk at the top of the mountain to realise that someone must have put the bra in the cable car –if it was me I’d think some female operator at the bottom of the mountain was flirting with me and so I’d send back some item of clothing. This would probably lead to a disciplinary hearing and my immediate dismissal. Thank heavens I don’t work there then!

Still the most important thing is that she’s okay and hopefully she’ll be reunited with her bra at some point.

We humans are an adventurous bunch. A while back we covered the mile high club and the �no-sex onboard� story from Airbus, but that just wasn�t exciting enough for some. The soon-to-be commercial space flights offered by Richard Branson�s Virgin Galactic have been receiving enquirers about the possibility of being allowed to be the first people to have weightless sex. Apparently it wouldn�t be that good (?) as the weightlessness would make the act rather difficult.

I don�t think zero gravity sex would be all that great anyway. Floating around, struggling to keep still, and other images you can conjure up yourselves that I�d rather not type.

Of course all these couples thinking they�d be the first are being very closed minded � how do they think all these aliens that keep visiting Earth come to be? Delivered by alien storks?! I think not! I wonder if aliens have lingerie�

I don’t know about you but on my way to work this morning I had to fight my ways past hordes of tired grumpy people, fight for a space on the tube, tiptoe around the feet of those sitting down, avoid eye contact with EVERYONE and listen to the terrible music emanating from some yoof stood nearby. At no point did an attractive girl start pole dancing. But if I had been in Romania this may well have happened. Sigh.

It’s an odd thing, but certainly a welcome thing, for men at least, seeing a woman in some gorgeous lingerie, on the way to and from work, and it probably raises more money than bad guitar playing or out and out begging, but apparently it’s going to be stopped because it constitutes ‘begging’ and ‘indecent exposure’. You can hear the commuters, “Nooooo……”

While Boris may have banned alcohol on the tube I’ve yet to hear anything about pole dancing being banned…certainly something to think about next time you find yourself on the tube, clinging on to a pole, grimly counting off the stations.
