    With all the hanging around and the delays, get a bus even if you have to share the journey with every freak nutter on the planet.

    I'm used to that as I travel on the Bexleyheath line. Saying that, was sat opposite a Megan Fox lookalike this morning, which made for a pleasant journey ;)

    so it was you staring at me this morning?

    Or just get on the boat from Canary Wharf and get bus/cab from there? Depending where you live of course but for some of you more local bods.

    Going in for me will be ok as I get the train at 20 past 5, but coming home will be horrific. The DLR will be rammed and the chances of getting on a train at Lewisham in rush hour will be slim to none.

    May just leave late or go out on the piss for four nights. I think I'm going to challenge myself to try and do every bar in Canary Wharf over those evenings!

    Where do you want to start?

    Trouble is its when they open their mouths and sound like a cross between some bloke going to work on a building site and a female chav that the pleasant part is ruined.

    Have had that happen to me a few times over the years when your sitting opposite an attractive woman!!

    Fantastic. About 20 empty seats on my carriage and the huge fat fuck with the enormous McDonald's decides to plant her lardy arse next to me. Harrumph. At least I've got ten days without this pleasure coming up.

    They're getting the annoyance out the way early. Train reduced from 11 to 7 coaches. Somehow got a seat though.

    Here's a tip for you Canter. Always take a walk stick with you, then some poor fool might get up and let you sit down.

    If not, you can always bash somebody with it to get their seat.

    don't forget the new roof bar at the new Novotel, nice bar, great views.

    I work in Canary Wharf and am prepared to join you..... on the proviso you pay for every round.

    *as long as @DaveMehmet doesn't come along - he is an extremely vile individual.

    I suppose vile's a step up from what you called me earlier because I couldn't come drinking with you.

    Buzzing for the morning.

    Anyone tried to use the train iver the long weekend?

    On a scale of standing on a landmine to the eternal fire of hell, how bad was it?

    Get your predictions in for how late I will arrive into London tomorrow and how likely they are to shorten the train even though there are already half the number of trains and twice the number of people wanting that route.

    A2 screwed. Bus did its own little diversion via blackheath standard. Now queuing to get back on by westcombe park. Not the best plan going this route in hindsight.
