a brunette wins my attention

she was no kelly brook but there was something about her?im on the 6.32 to ipswich standing (wearing jeans and a purple t shirt) next to suits. My attention was won not because i like the look of a lady but probably the drum n base i could hear spilling from her earphones. Her phone rings,she is very well spoken which was a nice juxtaposition as she was eating a mac d'

ian gibson's on the train and 'getting angry'

says his friend sitting behind me/its a complete joke we are outside colch and are completely static / no one knows when we will be getting back.

happy st georges day

the sombre tone of a defeated man met with moans and growns no this wasnt our unelected prime minister nor his darling but the train driver on the 20.30 to norwich. You knew it was bad when u could see people standing on the train, apparently the 20,00 had been cancelled. When first on the train we were advised that vandalism to the overhead lines had caused delays yet now in the marks tay area its just been announced that there are severe delays due to signalling issues. The tension in my carriage isnt good, i need a wee- yet i saw my nearest toilet is out of order, and most worrying the man in the purple shirt sitting next to me is getting increasingly anxious with increasingly determination in his page turning off the ft- as well as his sighs of displeasure.

delayed, delayed and a snoring man

last night there were overhead line issues near stratford, i only know this as i asked a women in a high vis jacket what the problem was. Usual drill one arrives at liverpool street to see the board displaying delays all over the show but no comforting tannoy announcement to advise you what the problem is. I got home 45 minutes later than planned which ruined my intended local council leaflet delivery plans. Currently on board the 05 48 the earlier train was delayed due to a freight train failure. Despite my desire to sleep im currently sat opposite a man with a large hole in each shoe a massive portable cd player and an ogre-like snore. Not a great start to the working week.

Back to normal & The Chinese

So this morning back to normal with a seat on the floor outside the toilet as everyone has returned to London for work from the Easter break. Last Night was a different story tho. With only a few minute to departure (oh and the fact it was the 8pm) meant I got a seat. The only problem was sitting behind me were four Chinese women and I swear you have never heard human's talk so loudly before. I kept looking around as if to say, 'guys please keep it quiet' but this didn't work.... so there was no chance of me catching some Zzzzzzz's and I proceeded to use the 'dead time' to clear my text box in box.

football fans and a mac d's milkshake

saturday 28th march was a day of work (filming for the home office in preston) while the likes of whitman and jonny g went to see england smash slovakia 4,0. I met up with the lads at liverpool st and it was looking like we would be travelling at 10pm to billerichy where a chariot of coach form would take us to colchester. There was an announcement that a techical fault on a train just outside the station was delaying the train. With this half the guys went to mac d's. This decision meant when the technical issues had been resolved we werent in a position to board so we had to get the 22.18 but thanks to whitman i had a bannana milkshake. Sunday was a day of walking with team quince-vaughan-eaton-arnold with a cameo from wastell. Following this a reluctant trip to asda and some gardening followed by 8mile on dvd. Monday's strike had been called off but for some reason the 07.33 had been cancelled which meant the 07.37 train was to stop at virtually every train station in essex to compensate. With this i got to work later then whats social acceptable-not that i embrace corporate 9-6 culture. Last night i learnt how to recharge a scooter battery/i also learnt how to make it flat booo.

Dancing Girls and an Agitated Man

On Monday evening all was quiet on the 19:00 train to Norwich, the ticket inspector passed but then a conversation broke out which the whole carriage heard. A couple of youngsters had ticket issues. A classic line came from the teenage lad "I've lost my ticket and my wallet". He was issues with a pay later ticket.

Yesterday morning I stood outside the toilet of first class on the way in to London - amusing for most of the journey two 12-14 yr girls were dancing to their i-pods - an unusual sight so early in the morning. On the way home I got a seat but the man whom choose to sat next to me was seriously wrong. Constantly huffing and puffing and looking at his watch as well as falling in/out of sleep. I suspect he's had one too many VK blue's but he might have just have train rage who knows....

After a ruby on bricklane tonight I got on the 20:18 train to Harwich, wrapped my scarf around my eyes and took the opportunity to get 40 winks.... I was awoken at Chelmsford by a bubbly drunk women - I think she thought she was doing me a favour in waking me up should I wish to bail but a las I didn't...
