  1. has donned the cynical hat. Heaven help us all with more b****y politicing. A month of purgatory ensues.

  2. Annoyed that the Royal Mail keep deleting my home county from my address!!!

  3. There was a chap on the train playing his music at such a volume, I thought I would try and 'shazam' him. Amazingly (or not, perhaps), it worked and I know we have been serenaded through New Cross Gate by Diamond District's "I Mean Business '. Lucky us!!

  5. According to the Evening Standard, next week's ASLEF strike has been 'dramatically' called off. If the announcement was not made in a cape, accompanied by a clap of thunder, I will be sorely disappointed.

  6. Is now trying to find an adblocker to block the ad on local newspaper websites that asks me to turn off my adblocker....

  7. B prefix on old wagons? What did it mean?

      I will be away for at least four weeks. Hopefully by then both sides will have run out of toys to toss out of their prams and may actually have sorted this shambles out.

      I am happy to confirm that I am neither on strike (I refused to participate) or sick (never taken a day sick in my working life). I will be off on paternity leave any day now though!!

  22. I've been noticing, those who've been bashing a certain manager always end up with faulty models from that manufacturer. Very hilarious...! Been noticing a gentleman from this parish whose had a lot to say about a particular manufacturer (most problems are silly), and he seems to always have defective models. Yet those who are of the much happier clan seem to have no issue at all.

      I have the strong belief that thge "every model I buy is broken/faulty/has bits falling off it" brigade usually fail to look at the more likely probability that the one common factor - themselves and their handling of said models - is far more likely to blame.
