    Trains in the winter :-(

    3.5 hours to get into client today. Not cool.

    Could have flown to Paris in the same time as it took me to get 50 miles on the train.

      9 mile cycle takes 45 minutes every day.

      Provided one does not get some pedestrian jumping in front of you and causing a pile up.....

        Hope you'll only be invoicing for half a day and will be apologizing to the client for your tardy timekeeping.

          Only in the winter (title) ?

          And not wishing to be picky we are officially in Spring now...

            Winter - Frozen points
            Spring - Snow, flooded tracks
            Summer - Warped rails due to heat
            Autumn - Leaves on the tracks, flooded tracks

            I blame climate change. Maybe if we banned trains, removed the CO2 they cause, they'd run on time?

              I would ask my accountant first.

                If he's in the bush having a dump, it's unlikely.
                The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                  I hate to be argumentative - no, really - but Spring really begins at the Equinox, so we are still in Winter.

                  Well actually I'm not but that's another point, I'm off in the tropics spending the kids' inheritance, but don't tell PurpleGorilla.
