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.

    Yeah, but I'm a blind git. ;) Well, almost. If you think this is bad, I 
remember watching an early morning news prog where the interviewer was 
addressing a Doctor for some reason, and behind the Doctor was his 
computer - he didn't have ANY blank spaces! Should we be worried? ;)

She won't find them she'll know where they are. 
I've only had this laptop less than a month and my wallpaper is half
obscured. Think what it will be like in a year? 
You think PSP and the cursor goes there itself :) (Pov starts

Ah therefore unprofitable (unless you charge more) and a service that  
should be removed ;-)

Yeah, no it was a fairly wooshable statement. As everything's privatised  
now a train service with few passengers is most likely unprofitable  
therefore the company running it has three options - 1) Charge more. This  
covers the cost of running the train at the price of losing customers to  
whom the service is non-essential, therefore requiring you to charge more  
to the remaining customers until you're only left with those who *have* to  
use it being charged a small fortune. 2) Drop the service. Best option in  
that you now have a free train and driver to put on a more profitable  
route. 3) Get a subsidy from the government. Better option, you can still  
charge a near-exorbitant fee and 'make-up' your losses from the taxpayers.

I know a lady called Bennett. She was seriously going to name her son

       I don't know where 'Gordon Bennett' actually came from, but my 
earliest recollection of it was from the series of "Please Sir!"

More worrying that a family surnamed Brown decided to call their son  
James; shame he uses his middle name instead would have loved to imagine  
historians of the future trying to work that one out.

Actually, her normal procedure is "now where did I put that?" and then to 
use the desktop search tool. :-)

In my book, "I'm using a search tool" = "my filing system sucks". ;-)

Well, yeah, I could see that.  Or you just don't have enough different 
data classifications. ;-)

I've got a filing system on my system here that is pretty involved 
because I do so many different things - unfortunately when I actually 
need to use a document I'm sharing with others, I have to remember which 
group I'm sharing it with to know which directory it's in.

With my absence, Dried Frog pills will not be needed; however, some
Klatchian Spirit Weed will probably elevate the conversation to a
suitable level of surrealism.
Have a great time.

      You know something John? I met some truly nice people last weekend. 
It's kind of like I wish I met you all *years* ago. :)

        Anyway, here's to the future and some fun times!  ;)

        (And surrealism is fine by me!) Heh... :)
