I was inspired to write this blog by 2 (very different) trips around Europe. The first, with a good friend of mine, passed with the most pointless conversations about all manner of subjects, many of them listed on this blog now.
The second trip was with a new girlfriend along a similar route. About 30 minutes into our journey and conscious of the thousands of miles ahead of us travelling together, I enquired "So, what's your top 5 films of all time?" She replied "Oh I don't like conversations like that."
I then realised that there was a point after all to the pointless conversations I had had 2 years previously, if nothing more than to enjoy endless hours of being stuck with someone travelling.
