Default Bl&&dy trains!!!

Seeing as there was over running engineering works on the trains and i had about as much chance of getting into work at a reasonable hour as i have of fitting back into a 32" waist pair of jeans again, i'm just going to have to work from home.

i wonder if cleaning the scooby, fitting the dawes device and new plates counts as working from home

handy to know. i like the looks you get from people when you drive a scooby through the city. usualy one of "why is he driving around here?" normally the ones in their nice big expensive barges that you can upset the most.

Wish I could have stayed at home

I have no excuses...

Good luck to those who have to go home tonight using the c2c.

and all this on the day that they put the prices up. still i guess that it comes down to the company doing the actual repairs rather than c2c.
