Default Dust?


Mexico City is further away...


Yet, they killed Leon Trotsky there.

He-he, I meant all that spy and radiation scare. I'm Russian myself, and
it is quite scary to think that long arm of mother-land can reach me
here so easily (I'm not a spy though - just a software developer).


That didn't work out so well for Boris Grishenko ...

Considering the rather long interval between Russians being killed in
London, I'd say you don't have much to worry about. I'd be more worried
about busses. The FSB should just use those to kill people. No-one would
ever notice if a bendy bus came slamming through the front of Planet
Hollywood in Piccadilly Circus, turning several guests into intriguing
chunky puddles, then reversing away never to be seen again. It's called
"The 38".

As for Waterloo & City line - I guess that was dust from weekend
repair/construction works. It could be something toxic, and they didn't
clean it in time. Late finish of engineering works - now that is
something totally believable ;-)

WATERLOO & CITY LINE: Suspended due to excessive dust on platforms.

What is that about?


According to the BBC lunchtime news the dust following the weekend works
was blowing around so badly as train movement stirred it up that the
drivers couldn't see ahead clearly enough to operate the service safely.


Memo to Metronet: Buy a hoover.


Clearly this called for a Dyson... :-P

Maybe Dyson and Hoover can have a "Vacuum-Off" challenge down there to
finally settle who's got the big cajones.
