London ! Doncha jass lav it ?? (That's the best Den Watts I can manage )
As a spur of the moment, off the cuff thought, I decided last night over dinner to come to London today.
It's absolutely years and years since I've been here.
Clearly, I've driven through and around, in continental type touring coaches and artics over the years, but not actually "been" if you kow what I mean.
I'm not alone, but do/did have a couple of hours to kill by myself.
Plan 'A' was to get a train/tubey thing/cab or even . . . . . . . a bus thingy from whee I'm staying, into sort of Central London/towny type place, do a little shirt shopping, maybe a pair of shoes. You know th kinda thing.
Trains.
I haven't been on a train for years.
I hear/read a lot of people moaning about trains. Times/late/dirty etc etc. And I know I was only on it for half an hour or so, but - I loved it. DiddlyDum DiddlyDum. Rocking to and fro. I was like a kiddy in a sweety shop. Beaming that beam that a few of you have seen. Listening to the Yahooooos camparing the latest ipidpod technologies and how "they" manage to compress so much data onto so little chips ??? (is that right?) ) The inly thing that goes on my chips is salt.
The people.
People are just wierd.
If you say "Excuse me" because you want to pass someone that's in your way - they look at you as though you've got your head on backwards.
And when you say "Thank you" with a smile, they look at you as tough you have two heads.
It was cold when I left Derbyshire this morning, so I wore a sweat shirt type thing. My overnight bag is elsewhere, so I decided to nip into a shop and buy a lightweight shirt.
Thirtyseven and a half quid ????
Yer avina tin baaaarff ainctha mate ??? But somehow - there's no 't' in mate. :confused: (Den Watts again)
Sort of put paid to plan 'A' :lol2:
But - I managed today to realise one ambition/goal.
Here I am, sat in one of these internet cafes, logged on to my favourite site, drinking a chocolocolaatomatomocha coffee type drink, not smoking and just generally chillin.
Fuck ! ! ! ! Look at the time ! ! ! ! !
I've a train to catch ! ! ! !
Gotta get back "up west" :dunno:
See ya.
DiddlyDum DiddlyDum DiddlyDum DiddlyDum DiddlyDum DiddlyDum DiddlyDum Wooohoo ! !
