    Morning denizens

    Dark out there still, but apparently it's cloudy, with a strong likelihood of fog between here and ClientCo

    It was rather foggy for much of the journey there yesterday too. We need some of that mellow fruitfulness

    And I see this is the last day until spring, and therefore on this gig (probably), when the sun will rise before the time I set out - by a minute

      Waiting for a train to Liverpool. It appears to be on time. The station cat (Felix) is doing his rounds with an air of indifference matched only by the ticket witch behind her window.

        In the paper yesterday there was all story about northern rail staff getting new uniforms. I hope they haven't spent the budget for replacing those hideous class 142 bus things on tailoring.

        The ungrateful bastards are striking 2 days next week as well.

          The staff are striking, not the class 142's. The class 142's hail from a time prior to organised labour. They have a feudal feel to them.

            No idea what the weather was earlier - too foggy to tell.

            However it is now raining.

              As I am on a trading floor, lots of TVs. BBC news right in front of me. Usually it is tedious - war, famine, other boring stuff.

              However they just had some sort of exercise thing in Central London. Mostly top totty.

              Not as good as the Sky Sports Sydney Harbour Aerobics. But its a start....

                  Morning all S’murky out.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Getting murkier the further west I travel.

                    Train is rammed. Some issue on the other route apparently. The lady with the refreshment trolley is fending off the attempted interlopers into first class. One of them suggested it was discrimination. He's so right, it's the whole point of having a class system. And it's only an extra £7 including a cup of tea and a carluccio's pain au chocolate

                      'Twas quite enjoyable, it even had Leon from "Blade Runner" in it.

                      I've seen it before on the tv.

                      Yet another Willis movie that bombed, didn't make its money back, due, in part, according to the above, to Willis being Orson Willis apparently.

                      That said, it seemed ok to me, but what do I know.
