Fuck. I'ver missed the b3ta bash.
I just arrived back home after missing one of the few trains into london tonight.

I was looking forward for this for months, finally meeting the brave people of b3ta.

I was willing to make the 2+ hour journey into the big smoke and the nearly 3 hour journey back. for about 2 hours of meeting you guys. not even time to get half drunk. (can't afford a hotel)

I told good friends they could not come this w/e as i was going bashing.

I traded tonight with my missus for looking after our kid all day tomorrow.

she even drove me 15 miles to the station that was _not_ closed to some engineering work.

And then the fucking train drives off right in front of my nose.

Taking the next one would mean i'd have about 30 minutes in the drunken monkey.

If only I would have been there 20 seconds earlier. If only I had not returned indoors to find my iPod.

The shame...
