Tuube-in

Went into London today - not a good trip

Took the early one to make sure I made the mtg - as you do these days, what with one thing or the other. Was a bit late - had a moan at the missus for taking her time dropping me off. Lucky she was holding the wheel, otherwise she would have dropped me (Big Fists that girl)
Train in was late - "Animals on the line outside Ely"
By the time it got in, it had turned into the later one so I know, It's going to be a rush to get the mtg. Still - unperturbed, I plugged Madeleine Peyroux into my ears & lay back, hoping I dont disturb myself & the rest of the ever-filling train up with a wake-up sno-o-o-oo-rt. I probably did. The carriage kept filling . . .

So: King's Cross . . . and so am I now, because? The Northern Line aint working!!

Something I later heard about the fact that drivers didnt want to drive trains because they didnt stop if the train went thru a Red Light. Uh?
What are the drivers for, if not to stop the train if they see a Red Light?
But apparently they were concerned for public (=their) safety. Well...good for them.

So the District Line for me then. Which just happened to trundle its merry unhurried way around the city, stopping along the way to admire the inside of tunnels - in great detail, it seemed - while the train ahead took its time at each station to disgorge its quota of human flesh.

And yes - I was half hour late for the mtg. Good job I got up early & well worth the grovelling I had to do later to make up for pissing her off.

And 5 hours later? I did it all again in reverse.
Including the sno-o-o-orts but with K.T. Tunstall

Sometimes I wonder whether those guys were working for a Hero's eternity with Allah or the Passengers! And I'm beginning to wonder about those animals in Ely as well
