getting to work will be a nightmare
the fucking tube can't get it right on a normal day ffs.

mind you, this morning's taxi driver was no better. turned up late. then parked on the wrong street. when i pointed this out, he refused to accept it, despite the words being totally different. when i asked him to stop for cash, he soooo nearly nailed a cyclist (actually this would have redeemed him a bit). then could not figure out the central locking to let me back in. and sat there shrugging helplessly at me for about 5 mins. finally got the doors to open by taking the keys out of the ignition, then could not re-start the engine for another 5 mins. finally drove a SHIT way to work in ALL the traffic and missed disappearing up the arse end of a number 9 bus on alwych by the skin of kate moss' teeth.

he is a walking argument for sterilisation. 40 years too late, mind.

when you can walk 7 miles in stilettos
then you can comment. it's nothing to do with fitness. it's everything to do with searing pain in the balls of your feet that makes you want to take them off and stab eveyone through the eyeballs with the heels.

maybe you'd get more respect at work if you wore sensible shoes

Sensible shoes,
and smoking a pipe. With golfing tweeds.

appearance is everything in a city firm
it's not like your "office" where you just need flat shoes and a hairnet.

As I'm male,
I can get away with flat shoes, and no hairnet.
In public anyway.

Just as a hobby Rachel.
One day, I hope it'll be an Olympic event. Along with pancake tossing, and cake icing.

Or to a bus/tube/different taxi

( Kroney, Wed 29 Feb 2012, 12:24, Reply)

bus?
are you mad?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 29 Feb 2012, 12:25, Reply)

Just because I'd never take one
doesn't mean you're not capable of slumming it. I have prior trysts to reference as proof of this capacity for occasional guttering.

ssssh you'll ruin my reputation
actually i like getting the bus through london, but only in the evening when the traffic has gone. there is NOTHING worse than a london bus when you are in a hurry.

Isn't there some assertion,
that Olympic officials will have special traffic lanes/ability to run red lights? Or is that just tabloid shit?

oh, are they all going to be riding bikes then?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 29 Feb 2012, 12:26, Reply)

Well, no.
But priority over other traffic, which could mean anything. From regular, to bus lanes, to emergency vehicles.
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Wed 29 Feb 2012, 12:28, Reply)

I expect they'll be allowed to drive in bus lanes
but running red lights is blatant shite.

Yeah thought as much.
The story possibly came from The Mail, which says buckets.
