"I'm surrounded by love, because most of my friends and family are in long-term relationships and have kids of their own. Heck, I even love it when strangers find love. Since its inception, I have watched every episode of Pop the Balloon or Find Love a US reality dating show hosted by Arlette Amuli. While it's entertaining observing how treacherous the dating market is, I'm more thrilled when two people match and commence their own love journey."
"However, for all my appreciation of love, public displays of affection (PDAs) on the morning commute should be punishable by prison. I'm talking hugging, kissing, even sitting on each other's laps all of the above are abominable to watch. In my dictatorship, those who committed such crimes would be locked up without due process. The British tonguing police (BTP) would ensure that perpetrators were swiftly caught."
"They would not pass go, they would not collect 200. They would go directly to jail. Don't get me wrong: I understand indulging in a little affection in the evenings and on weekends after a night out. You've had a few drinks, you're feeling uninhibited, and that may manifest in an embrace and a kiss on your bus or train journey home. I get it. I love love. If it doesn't become a show do your thing."
I love love and am happily married with two boys. I am surrounded by love because most friends and family are in long-term relationships and have children. I watch Pop the Balloon or Find Love and relish when two people match and start a relationship. Despite this affection for love, I find public displays of affection on the morning commute abhorrent. Hugging, kissing, and sitting on laps on buses and trains are intolerable to watch. I equate early-morning arousal to intoxication, argue it undermines productivity, and insist such behaviour belong in private or later in the day.
