That's going to make Edinburgh Council look like a paragon of
financial prudence. Especially as it'll be "Britain’s first new
underground railway in decades", so there are no workers available with
recent experience of tunnelling in, say, London.

Huh? Crossrail, HS2 and the Northern line extension all have significant
London tunnels.

Is this national "fail to spot sarcasm day", or what?

For you, vigorously participating in usenet threads is a full-time
occupation, as a substitute for the paid work which you'd much rather be
doing. For most of the rest of us, uk.r is something we dip into in idle
moments, and we don't carefully analyse every post for sarcasm. For
example, I'm currently sitting in the lounge in Vientiane airport, sipping
an early beer, and will soon be taking off. I won't be checking uk.r until
at least tonight.

I hear that Vientiane has some impressive French colonial architecture,
though narcotics abuse there is more obvious.

Last month central america, this month is east asia.

You need to learn some geography, even if your fear of flying and
xenophobia stop you actually seeing the world. I've not been to Central
America for several years, and have yet to visit most of the Central
American countries.

So you're on the run from the Central Americans as well... ;-)


It turns out there's a global beauty contest in my hotel. The contestants
were at breakfast this morning (who knew that beauty queens eat?):

I'm guessing the one with the blue hair is a feminist protester.

What a great idea. Cut out all that world peace crap and just pick
whoever has the best globes.

Anything they want... it's all coming back up as soon as they get back
to their en-suite.

Do change the record old chap. Plus unlike you I don't live all alone so I have
to consider where my wife wants to go and young kids rather preclude any kind
of long haul flight. Perhaps if you could drive a car you could also tour
europe like we do and see cultural sights instead of ladyboy bars.

America for several years, and have yet to visit most of the Central
American countries.

Central, south, all similar hispanic flee pits where I'm sure you fit right in.

Or is he tryng to do some kind of weird mirror thing with my travel -
two weeks ago Borneo, last week Mexico, this week back in London.

fx: tryinng to stay on topic
Is the commute to and from Heathrow, road-wise, being deliberately
slowed down so the Elizabeth Line can look even better than it should
do? Or is traffic really just getting that bad?

And I got back into London this morning. My trip involved a total of seven
flights, on three Southeast Asian different airlines (two of which I'd not
heard of before), on three aircraft types (789, A321, ATR72). All flights
started boarding more or less on time, and proceeded smoothly. Even being
parked next to the 744 and 748 used by the most powerful man in the world
in Vientiane didn't affect our on-time departur. To Phnom Penh.

I've not noticed any recent deterioration.
