F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

If you want to meet for a pint it'd have to be somewhere central - preferably near or towards Euston. I'm leaving the office around 5.
 
A lady collapsed onto the guy next to me on the overground this morning. It was a bit hot and I think she was pregnant. At first I thought she might be epileptic but I lifted her up and we put her in a seat. She said she was ok and we both got off at shepherd's bush and she was able to walk off. She said she was going to wait there until the crowds went and then carry on. I offered to get the guard but she said she was fine.

I hope she was alright.

I am tempted to form a new single-interest political party called UKCP, with C standing for Commuter. The entire platform (oho) will be based around more comfortable commuting.

Any takers?

At last a cause I can get behind.
 
On my way back North, and it is nicely air conditioned again, with plenty of room. back to my normal shitty cross country train service tomorrow though, mores a pity.
 
There's a fit bloke sat opposite me and he's just come back from the shop with a copy of the fucking Daily Mail. He's instantly gone down in my estimation. I wonder if he's only bought it because he isn't very bright. Cute and dumb perhaps. :(
 
Back to my normal trains today, and the usual delays. The train I'm on now is running 30 minutes late - a track circuit failure at Southampton and a tree on the line at Basingstoke. At least it's Friday so I don't have to do this again tomorrow.

But the air conditioning is working. :)
 
Bus, train, bus. Left at 4.30 and won't be home for another 20 mins. No delays, just a long commute. And I had to share a double seat on the train cos there were only 5 carriages (there are often 10). This is about as bad as it gets tbf.
 
I somehow got on the wrong bus this morning, no idea how. Only after about five minutes travel did I notice all the adverts were for the wrong bus company. Driver must have been half asleep too as my day ticket was for the other bus company. Only meant an extra ten minute walk in the sunshine to the office at the other end, and I still got there before the proper bus, which takes a more circuitous route.
