going back to the original post, who was in London yesterday?? did anyone here get caught in the chaos??... I did
I was at Waterloo just as it all started kicking off. I just got back on the train I came in on and went straight home. Good job I did, as I had an appointment just where the bus was blown up and am very grateful I was running 15 minutes late.
Lucifer, wow .. I was in Waterloo at that time too, had to take the train which goes to reading (and stops in every single bloody villege on the way) then I changed in Reading to get to Oxford.. took me 3 hours to get home... but was soooo grateful to get out of London....
Sandy, I think I saw you - the burly. bearded bloke by platform 17?
Jesting aside though, yes, I guess we were there more or less at the same time. I had just come in from Wimbledon for a meeting in Woburn Place. As soon as I heard what was going on, I reasoned just going straight home was the best. Not out of fear or anything, more a concern they might suspend the overground trains and I'd be stuck at Waterloo.

Don't worry, Lucifer; you could have spent the night at my place. Might have involved you in a few bizarre sexual rituals, but at least you'd have somewhere to kip for the night.

At least partimer was paying attention. I'm not sure I'm xoggoth either. Last week I was so happy doing pictures of squirrels for a bit better than dole money, now I am back in the rat race, bloody requirements, specifications, timesheets, a tiny cog in immensity of boring aircraft control systems. F*** ell, I am SOOO DEPRESSED! Never mind, if I can see an opportunity to make it fly into the Houses Of Parliament whenever the rear toilet is flushed I will.
PS Why does everyone go somewhere else whenever my back is turned? I am starting to get a complex about it. I got home this week to find the wife had gone to live in Bulgaria without leaving a forwarding address.
