As an aside, how do trains on the ECML get south of the river, where's
the link to the current thameslink route?

Slaps forehead

Indeed!

No, but it would help you not look like a total prat.


When I start wearing an anorak and hanging around at the end of platforms
carrying a thermos flask and notebook I might give a ****. Until then...


As a curious observer, I'm interested to know how "wearing an anorak and
hanging around and the end of platforms" and "arguing on Usenet (of all the

the good points" compare in terms of social acceptability, in spudworld?

It looks like virgins fighting over who pretended to buy a packet of condoms
