That's true.
Boltar is under 24 hour surveillance, they get to predict when she's about
to hit the Piccadilly Line, and instructions are sent out to mess up her
journey.
Because she's worth it.
Well, no. It's actually because she's an idiot and it gives them something
to laugh at.


She? That what you dream about late at night is it? Never mind luvvie,
there's plenty of places in Soho for you , better head off there
(though not on the piccadilly line obviously) and dont' forget the KY.

That morning, I had a text from TfL about a points failure meaning no
service to T5 and minor delays to the rest of the line. The disruption
was also on the TfL live travel new page.


Odd - oh well, cue Boltar making some remark about LUL not knowing what
it's doing if it can't update its internal system.


Would I be that mean?

Well , actually...

You can reduce failure rates with high quality production and
maintenance, but you can't eliminate them. A single failure doesn't
tell you much about the quality of the underlying system.


No , but constant failures all the time does.

I wasn't aware that the new signalling on the network had been
suffering from constant failures.

The JLE was doing quite a nice job of regular fsck ups until recently.

I think Boltar was refering to her brain, not the Picc.

Oh dear, were you too late for Madam Za Za's then? Perhaps you tried
#34 of your flaming guide on her and got a boot up the backside?
Possibly not quite what you were hoping for? ;)
