Had to get the tube this morning. Oh joy. Noticed on the piccadilly line
southbound at holborn that a nice new matrix display had appeared. Almost
completely obscured for most of the length of the platform by a nice new
video projector. That arrangement takes a special type of ****wit to sort out.

Got a westbound central terminating at white city, next train behind was 12
minutes away. Train gets to white city, the westbound waiting in the other
platform waits until our trains stops, we get out and it then closes its doors
in our face and ****s off. So thanks to whoever was the drooling retard in the
cab for that thoughtful quick exit.

That's a regular occurrence at Kennington. They do it on purpose. ****ing

So the things I posted - the blocked dot matrix indicator and the driver not
bothering to wait - were indicative of high intellect on the part of the staff
then?

Hmm , interesting.

Picking up on minor points of grammar - the last resort of the terminally
stupid who have nothing else to say.

Still it was nice to have you back moaning about LUL. Sensible views
about bendy buses came as an enormous shock.

Normal service is now resumed.

Admittedly, I am often the first to point out the grammatical mistakes
of others, but this should not be allowed to obscure the valid point
being made by Boltar about L.U.L. and its staff. Any organisation
that has room in its ranks for the likes of Bob Crowe is fatally
flawed.

But, more to the point, about bloody-minded staff: a few weeks ago, a
particularly bolshie specimen was in charge of a Westbound, late-night
District Line train. All along the route, from Temple to Earl's Court,
the train had been advertised as an Ealing Broadway train.

At Earl's Court, the driver announced "This train is now calling at
all stations to Parson's Green" - as the doors were closing!

He must have got a particularly big hard-on when he saw literally
hundreds of passengers getting out at West Brompton, in a particularly
heavy rain shower.

I'm surprised no-one pulled the emergency alarm at Earl's Court!
