F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

i've just asked gaijinboy, sat next to me, who is a software developer and he doesn't know either... :D
It sends an "alert" to your "alerts" box if the person posting it is using Tapatalk (and Tapatalk only iirc).

The alert is that someone mentioned you on a thread and you just click through.

but I get an alert if someone mentions me on a thread anyway (not using tapatalk)... :confused:


eta in gaijinboy's defence - he said it probably sends an alert that someone has mentioned you but then was flummoxed when I said I get that anyway...

Alerts are worded slightly differently. They say "so and so replied to your post on whatever thread" then you click through to the reply. Mentions (via Tapatalk) say "so and so has mentioned you on this thread ... then when you click through you find that someone has said @gaijingirl rather than gaijingirl in order to alert you.

oooh yes - look at that! Thank you. :)
 
I assume you're still working in Brixton ? In which case you may be better off going from East Croydon to Streatham Hill and then getting a bus.
 
my commute is just about one mile and a half. but 800ft downhill. great to cycle/walk on summer days but not fun coming back at night in the winter, also most of the route is unlit, so can be dangerous on foot. I tend to carshare, anyway.
 
It takes quite a lot to make me grumpy, this is why it doesn't happen very often at all.

The commute home is much worse- a bus, 4 trains, then a cycle.

The 8:23 from East Croydon to Bedford was late again this morning, resulting in me getting in at 5 past 9.

But I'm still not grumpy. Incredible? No, not really.
 
my commute has been longer the last couple of days - heavier traffic through Finsbury Park the cause mainly - today the Police were doing one of their vehicle checks - blocking the bus lane :mad: which meant the traffic backed up :mad:
 
What were the circumstances that led to you doing this horrible commute, Onkey? Did you keep the same job and change home? Or keep the same home and change jobs? And what were the factors in your decision that swung it for you?
