Hello, if you leave your stuff in a taxi, dont bloodty expect us to take it back to you for free, it will be charged as a job.
i;m on about phones walllets and other stuff, your stuff, so bloody look after it then.

anyway = if you leaved your phone in tesco, do you think tescos are going to take it to your house?
aner = no, so well then.

and anyway-if you leaft your stuff on train, you have to pay to get it back, [probly about 5 quid] aministration charge.

why did I think that the title was "People leaving things in Texas."?

I guess cause I can't read.

I know someone who should have been left in Texas.

I guess that was supposed to be a joke and not a reference to Asians.

I actually was serious.

The saddest day in my life was the might I got too full and left a brand new Gibson in the back of a taxi. I never saw it again.

Slight drift here, but a musical connection at least.

Years ago I saw a programme which visited the London Underground's Lost Property Dept. Among all the unclaimed items was a white-painted double bass. I could imagine losing a brolly (imagine, hell I've done it) but a double bass?

Occasional, when I look in my rear view mirror, I find I am being followed by an "IXAT" - sinister, isn't it?

I read it -over and over - as Texas. This time I read it as 'People Leaving Thong in Texas.' My brain is a busy thing, just not productive.

Why, just yesterday I flagged a taxi because I'd had too much to drink. I inquired of the driver whether he had room for a case of beer and a pizza. He told me no problem. I felt much better afterward.

Bruce - did you read about my nephew's adventure on an airplane? Projectile vomiting before it even left the terminal.

I have left things in taxis. Sorry Sir jOhn. Once I left a purse with all my credit cards and a large amount of cash. I was in NYC looking for an apartment while moving from Chicago. Two weeks later, the cabbie tracked me down via a Chicago library card. He was a very young man whose mother harped at me the whole time I was at his home retrieving the wallet. He had not touched a thing and was rewarded generously.

Surely this is not as serious an offense as leaving dead moggies on your lawn?

It was amazing! One of the few times I ever needed a taxi and there it was, right in front of me. I plopped my bag in the back and before long we were at my destination. When I went to get my bag I noticed a guitar next to it. I asked the driver if he played. He said he didn't. It was left by some guy who rode with him a few hours before. I laughingly said that I'd give him ten dollars for it. To my great surprise he said, "Make it $20 and you've got a deal." I handed him the money, grabbed the guitar and ran. It turned out to be a brand new Gibson!

First thing I did when I went to Quebec last year was leave my camera in the taxi... *sigh* and it had the pix of taking my kids to camp for the first time *bigger sigh* - and I didn't get it back *enormous sigh* - Sorry, there is a new Asterix coming out, I couldn't help the reference.
