F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

[Onket]

Starts Monday.....

 

[Dan U]

How come?

BTW if you haven't got a good book, have you got something worth listening to?

 

[ChrisFilter]

Where from and to? You moved, then? Get an iPad.

 

[DarthSydodyas]

piss your pants and then move one seat up.

 

[Onket]

Alarm at 6. Short cycle to the station. On train to East Croydon now.

Not too bad so far, but unless I start to get to bed earlier this is going to do me in.

 

[fuck seals]

Alarm @6? Pfffft lightweight

Alarm @4 twice a week for a 5 hour commute ...

 

[xes]

*only has a 5 minute drive in the mornings*

Just after I posted this, a million people got on. Now at East Croydon, where I have had to buy breakfast and there are no bins, connection to Tulse Hill is delayed.

 

[Badgers]

What breakfast did you have?

 

[Badgers]

Lasagne bap?

 

[Greebo]

(((Onket))) IME commuting is very much a state of mind. Not that you'll ever really enjoy it, but it will become less grim. At least you're tall enough not to get your nose jammed in somebody's armpit.

 

[fuck seals]

Mug.

I dunno - you quite into the london to paris commute after a while

Anyway ---- mug in what sense?

 

[IC3D]

Overland commute beats the tube hands down, breathing recycled air in a humid tunnel bluerg

 

[Dan U]

did you make it yet?

total door - door time?

Good gawd. Unless that's at 70MPH, surely you could walk ?

I am very lazy, and I pick up someone on the way in. (we could both walk I guess) It's only about 2 miles.

 

[Crispy]

On yer bike!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

So where is this incredible journey from and too?

6am isn't exactly a hellish time to get up in the morning.

Depends what time you get to bed and to sleep!!

The incredible journey.

He will adapt.

 

[Badgers]

I am picturing a tired Onket later humming the Littlest Hobo theme tune....

 

[Yetman]

Use the time to learn a language - Michel Thomas' Spanish Cd's are ace

 

[Onket]

I agree.

But I used to be able to cycle 20 mins to work, for free. It's a bit of a change.

Got in at 10 past 9, so not too bad. I will be knackered by Thursday, though, and I will need to start making some breakfast sandwiches for the journey, or to eat while waiting at East Croydon. Upper Crust is a bit pricey, plus they don't do the lasagne sandwiches Badgers is going to make me.

 

[zenie]

How much is the season ticket?!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

So what is the journey? Where is it from and to and how long does it take?
