incomprehensible in two dialects.

night. OOC how busy were the red-eyes?

Not very except if there was a game on in London. I never had to book.
I did the journey by overnight bus as well. You just get to sleep then
you are woken up at the stop in Southwaite.

  Ok, I'll post it here cos there's no rendering happening to post in p.b.i.

    I've crossed out work ref's because I don't want a bullet in my temple. 
;)

    This is how it's been for the last 8 years, and I know where everything 
is! (Amazingly!)

    Well, not quite true, I get stuck with image names now and again, so 
'search' comes in handy.
