anywhere but london, yes
but the tubes in london could fuck up jesus and the second coming, frankly. i once left THREE HOURS to get to "get-to-know-the-team" third round interview, and got stranded between uxbridge and the middle of nowhere. i was hysterical. still got the job, mind. suspect the amount of time they had in the bar without me might have helped.

off for my fancy all-day client celebration lunch in about 2 minsmost excited.

also that new overtones' song "gambling man" may be the most addictive thing EVER, totally stuck in my head.

Three hours? Did someone jump infront of every tube you were on?

I'm gutted that there's nothing I can do to get my revenge on that crunchy bastard who jumped under my train.

It feels well weird having a phone in my front right pocket.
It was liberating without it, but I suppose it's the price you have to pay if you want to be able to update someone about your (magic) bowel movements at the drop of a hat.

They must have been fucking desperate.
What sort of hapless prick can't find an alternative route into London from inside the M25 in three fucking hours?

ha as if
It takes over an hour with no problems. And you try getting off a tube when it is stopped between 2 stations for 45 mins, go om. And when it does limp into rayners lane there isn't a cab for miles around.

You've never worked in the shithole that is uxbridge, have you?!

Hang on ...
so you weren't even trying to get into central London? You failed to get into Uxbridge in three hours?

Was this a job weaving baskets, by any chance?
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 27 Jul 2011, 12:25, Reply)

no, it was FROM uxbridge
On a broken tube line that we weren't allowed to get off. And when we did there was no other option.

I.M sure a superman like you could have flown there on your wings of sarcastic power though.

How far out is Uxbridge from the city? About 12 miles?
I could comfortably walk it in three hours.
( Kroney, Wed 27 Jul 2011, 12:23, Reply)

It takes me three hours to walk 12 miles and all.

Only if it's flat and that

It's London.
You don't get much flatter. Other than Norfolk. And you don't walk places in Norfolk, you don't even wind down the windows on your car. They can smell fresh genes a mile off.
