World's Slowest Escalator

Sorry for the lack of post lately as I've been feeling under the weather recently, dry cough that does not seem to want to go away, saw the doctor he did a full check - blood pressures down (the excercise has help), no temperature but my tonsils were inflamed again, standard dose of anti-biotics and cough medicine, was told to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest, ya probably the late nights are taking it's toll. I think due to the medicine, I forgot to bring my work pass today, got caught out without it and had to sign in as a visitor to get into the building, ah it's going to be one of those days where you just want it to end. I'm sure everyone has heard of the trishaw uncle who got bullied by the 3 british tourist. What really pissed me off was the fact that not only did they make fun of him where the poor guy has got to cycle with these 3 tourist in his trishaw, not only did they video the whole incident, not only did they started laughing at him, not only did they not even want to pay the agreed amount at the end of the ride, not only did they bargain down to $5, not only did they make the guy look pitiful trying to get his money BUT they drove off in a taxi without giving the man a single cent !! Anyways with regards to slowest trishaw's and what have you, I encountered the slowest escalator today on my way home, it was at one of the underpass in town, I've passed it a few times before and for some reason today it was moving at a quarter of the normal speed, it's not a heavily used escalator, not much traffic on it. Kept looking around to find why it was moving so slowly, pity I did not think (the drugs again) to video the journey. (would had then be able to add my first movie :) Anyways I got fedup and just walked up the escalator. I'll post a Spooky tale tomorrow ;) if I'm feeling better. It seems I've been hearing a lot of spooky stuff lately ;) so tune in next time for BIT - B's Incredible Tales, hosted not by Utt but Butt ;)
