      Ah, sorry.

      Mind you, I must concede that commuting is a bit of a waste of one's life.

      I remember a chap in the news a few years ago who commuted by car every day from Pontefract to Reading. And he sounded cheerful on the radio.

        Deal with it.
        I did 3 to 4 hours commute for a permie job and thought it was a waste of my time.

          He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            Exactly what I thought.

            He was interviewed on the radio. I think he said it was about 4 hours each way. He got home, had half an hour to have some dinner, then went to bed for the next day's early start.

              I was looking at this book on Amazon this weekend - the guy wrote it to win an argument. His argument was that people sleeping on the train were wasting their time, and to prove it, he wrote a book just during his daily commute.

              The general advice seemed to be that he would have been better off sleeping instead. I didn't waste my 77p to buy it to find out, though.
