as usual the fucking pleb-infested tube has got monday off to a cracking start
i was annoyed that i had to top up my oyster card (feels like such a waste of money, shouldn't they be paying me?) and there was a huge Q for two machines. when i was second, the girl in front of me didn't move up. i asked her if she wanted to go; she said she was with her bf. at which point the dickhead behind me cut in and started using it.

i normally sigh in silence, but i was already cross, so i said, "excuse me?" he said, "you were taking too long." i snapped, "i was being POLITE. you could learn a thing or two about that." he shrugged nastily at me.

anyway, by the time i'd finished, he was still pissing around trying to get it to take his card. so i said sweetly, "now THAT'S taking too long," and sailed past the angry little cunt.

Oh, I dunno
the state of the public on the tube on a weekday is pretty much third world and accelerating downwards.

But, hey, best city inna world, innit?

haha. oh yeah, that.
Do you read the FT, by the way? You might want to check out the article about Edinburgh being the key future location of inward financial investment.

Or how it's been the highest ranking city in the UK for quality of life for the last 13 years straight.

You just keep getting on those lovely, lovely tubes, sweetie.

I always enjoy it when Londoners who won't set foot outside the borders of their manor call other parts of the country parochial.

Ah yes. The one part of the country, barring Cambridge, where the barista count per head of population is enough to tempt Londoners to get outside the M25.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Mon 23 Sep 2013, 9:30, Reply)

- there not being a train IMMEDIATELY i set foot on the platform

- there being OTHER PEOPLE in the carriage

so you might not mind

To clarify, I'm asking this so I can abuse you for something as harmless as your musical tastes.

When I can muster the oats to walk to Angel in the morning it does set me up for the day.
I listen to R4 and occasionally get to say hello to Boris Johnson. Which is nice.
