Somewhere in south-central England.

Of course it only affects Londoners.

Should I leave work early, or hang on until after rush hour and hope things are not as bad as they may be?

Third option, take a room in a cheap hotel and have a night on the town. The office is normally pretty quiet on a strike day so I could get a lot done.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

This.

With the addition of that secretary.

You know which one.

there's always one.

Well, at Mr. Kilkrazy's age you're just grateful anyway...

This is why we have both alcohol and a whole variety of sexual positions.

Or masks...but you go there then it's a whole new level of weirdness.


Let the love flow !

Don't forget Gordon Bennett, or is that too uncivilized for the soft folk down south?

Gordon Bennett?

Who was he and why is his name used in this way?
I have english friends here and nowt can tell me the etymology of this. Can any of you limeys help?

As to "claret all down his boatrace" that's an easy one.
It refers to some mug punter with a bloody face.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Tube Steak Boogie and Pearl Necklace... Two great songs! I was saw ZZ Top back during one of their big tours. Sam Haggar opened the show (pre Van Halen)... He was still the Red Rocker. Sammy was awesome playing for two hours and then a couple of encores. I was wondering how ZZ Top could top his act but they came out and blew him away. Billy Gibson is by far one of the best guitarists I have ever seen, in fact I would rate him higher than Eddie Van Halen or even Stevie Ray Vaughn.

'It only affects Londoners.' No it doesn't. It only affects people IN London. I don't live in London but it affects me in some tenous link that I cannot explain.
Also, I seem to remember hearing somewhere that Gordon Bennett set fire to a roll of cash because it wouldn't fit into his pocket.
