Yes, you read that right. Admittedly a slighty odd choice of title for a post, so please allow me to offer a short explanation.

Once again I have found myself on the tube. And once again I find myself without seat. Joy of joys!

To be honest I am essentially moaning about nothing, but aren’t you pleased that I am at least writing something?

Actually, having written that, the answers probably no isn’t it?

Ah well, moving on!

Tomorrow is Christmas day, and its going to be a bit of an odd one for me, as its going to be the first christmas which I’m going to be apart from my family.

Luckily for me my best friends parents happen to rather like me and have therefore invited me over so I won’t be all alone, though I doubt that they’ll be able to distract me from missing my family and sitting around fiddling with some present or another whilst my dad burns the turkey. Though I guess at least the dinner will be edible!

There was no real reason for writing this post, other than a small amount of boredom and of course the fact that I wanted the chance to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and an excellent 2010.

God bless.

London Underground train at Hainault Station (Central Line)

Let’s be honest, hopefully the answer is no. However, let’s assume that you are. Having made that assumption, allow me to suggest you take some leaves out of London Undergrounds book.

For example, why not change the destination of a train, but not announce it at any point, until after the last station that you could have changed at?

Thanks for making my life that little bit more complicated this morning TfL. I genuinely appreciate it. Wait, sorry, what I meant to write was, treat you passengers with some sort of respect you numptys.

Sigh.

Don’t get me wrong though, generally speaking the tube is the easiest and quickest way around London, just incidents like this really get me on the offensive, and they simply happen far too often.

Ah well, I’m sure that when I take advantage of the free tube travel on new years eve all will be forgiven. Well, maybe…
