Why I love taxi drivers here...

Just got a ride from a crazy, talkative old uncle, who dropped his wife off at the same time as picking me up. Had a fantastic stream of consciousness the whole ride. Here are a couple of memorable exerts.

Driver: You work over christmas or you go back?
Adam: Working a bit.
Driver: Me, I got to work, my wife, she say "No money, no honey", what can you do?
(the uncle was at least 80, and wrinklier than Yoda)

Driver: Where you from?
Adam: England
Driver: Ah, England... you married?
Adam: No...
Driver: Ahhh, International Bachelor, James Bond, Double O seven!
Adam: Hmmm.....
