I have the “Auto Top-Up” facility on my Oystercard. The pre-pay on the card gets updated with £20.00 everytime the balance of pre-pay falls below £5.00. The £20.00 top-up is then debited from my account. Good? Yeah, until it doesn’t work and the £20.00 doesn’t get collected f...

So since I started the new job I’ve given up my tube habit because frankly, there are easier ways of getting to London Bridge during rush hour than navigating the commuter melee at Green Park of a morning. And the corridor between the Piccadilly Line and Jubilee Line is sooooooo long!

So a typica...

So many bizarre sex stories,so little time:

Akabusi was uncomfortable unless he was wearing a pair of dungerees or stark bollock naked so he walked into the Jimmy Savile Row tailors with trepidation. He needed a new suit for a Tanni Gray Thompson testimonial he was speaking at.

"If you could ...

Athletes become Winners

Winners become Champions

Champions become Legends

Legends become Myths

Myths become Folklore

Folklore becomes Fantasies

Fantasies becomes threads on a football forum:

Things come in threes; supermarket mini cheesecakes, triplets, tripod legs etc. Job satisfaction also comes in threes for me, last job the honeymoon period lasted three weeks before I was exposed to how much of a nasty little despot my former employer could be (although I then lingered on for almost...

Made it! Am in a hotel on the quayside- basically the docks. Hope it isn’t a hooker hotel, its practically under the Tyne bridge reached by lots of dark streets, am sweating like a rapist. Rest then exploring. Hookers, rapists what’s on my mind tonight?

Just left York. Only another hour to go. I might eat my other sandwich now and continue staring at the floor. The aircon must be cranked up to the max because the carriage is freezing. I’m keeping my coat on because of that plus the seats look dirty.

Just completed the road portion of my rail journey. Being a fully integrated transport system, anyone who didn’t manage to get on one of the first few rail replacement buses missed the train as it wasn’t going to wait. The bus i was on smelt of poo too!

I’ve been on the train to Newcastle (via a bus for part of the journey) for 30 minutes and i’m bored already. Two brassy geordies who have talked nonstop so far are sitting opposite me and i can see a man picking his nose. Going to be a looong afternoon!

And when dawn broke (not sure what she broke but she’s a big girl so it was probably a chair) it was 2007 and the world was born anew.

Behind me is a pig of a year, a few highlights, mostly lowlights and regrets. The worst points tend to melt away at the end of the year leaving just the good time...

Less than two weeks until I become unemployed. But only for two days then my new contract kicks in. I wonder if the two days makes a difference in terms of my National Insurance ‘contributions’? I hope it doesn’t affect the meagre amount of money I get when I turn 90.

It all seems so uniimportan...

😁 Yay! Quit my job! Now I can stop moaning... maybe!

So why don’t I feel exstatic? I almost feel sad, like I’ve been fired or am being let go or am letting people down. I’m obviously a complete idiot for putting my own feelings first for once then feeling bad about the effect on other people. I...

I can’t believe I had to stand nearly the whole way to work this morning due to “a person being taken ill on a train 400 miles away on the other side of LondON”. I daren’t make eye contact with anyone after the trouble that kicked off last week on the way to work. Came close to brown on brown violen...

Just got back. A one day trip to the chanel islands (not to buy perfume or couture but to work) turned into two. Obviously I had no inkling that that might happen so no change of clothes and nowhere to buy clothes. So sitting here in two day old pants looking like a tramp. No wonder everyone on the ...

I frightened people on the tube this morning. I closed my eyes as soon as I got on it and slept/ pretended to sleep the whole 45 minute journey except when I awoke with a start and scared the woman sitting beside me.

A man got on at the same stop as me and I sat opposite him. He was listening to...

Nightmare journey home this evening starting with not leaving the office until 6.45pm. Why? I don’t know. Was in the office on time this morning, well literally only a couple of minutes late. As usual, as I walked from the tube station I looked out for Scott to cycle past in the other direction. Its...

I sat at a different desk at work today whilst my pc was getting repaired, well getting the guts ripped out and new entrails being inserted. Hopefully they’ve sorted out the noisy fan and extreme heat event that happened every afternoon at the back of the case.

I was on one side of the "inner-pro...

Why is it that two hours ago I couldn’t keep my eyes open but now I’m wide awake? I think I’m a nocturnal thinker. My best work was always done in the early hours of the morning at university and that trend appears to have continud into my ‘professional’ career although rather than work late then sl...

Bless me father, it’s been almost two months since my last entry. In that time much has happened. Work took me to the brink of my sanity and perseverence. The outcome? Grinding stomach pains of fear every morning for about three weeks and the inability to digest food properly. Positive outcome? My t...

According to popular myth, when a man gives you flowers, you must be wearing impulse. On London Underground when a man picks up a crumpled McDonald’s bag off the floor of the carriage and pushes it in your face you only feel repulsed. When the said same man is also invading the little personal space...

According to Wikipedia, the finale of Will & Grace was watched by 18 Million people in America last month. The show debuted in September 1998 and has earned critical acclaim and $$$ for its stars over eight seasons.

I started my career in October 1998 somewhat more modestly and have yet to garner...

Late for work today- got in at 9.45! My own stupid fault for staying up too late browsing stupid things on t’interweb and not going to bed when I should have. In my rush to get out of the house this morning that then meant that I didn’t do the finishing touches to the tidying up of the house that I ...

To Watford this morning. Got the train back to Harrow-on-the-Hill and then north to Watford. I always wondered what Harrow-on-the-Hill was like going the other way (not into London) of a morning, now I know.

Watford station is pretty much just plonked in the middle of a residential street, quite ...

The office seemed to be split down the middle today- well it is by a corridor and some columns, all the desks are either side of this walkway but whilst one side revelled in Friday jollities the other half (on which I sit, obviously) were mired in work with a heavy atmosphere hanging over us which g...
