I'd like to thank DOS man for making tonight a memorable night for us
Daily chronicling on commuting- Commuting isn't for the faint-hearted. You need nerves of steel to survive the jungle that is commuting. No matter whether you're trying to get to or from work, getting to the airport for that well deserved holiday, it's a jungle out there and only the fittest survive. This is about my view of what's going on around me when I commute, on every day occurrence around other commuters, sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating.

I took a change of outfit to work today
Why?
Well...... a slight detour after work took me to the O2, London Arena to see SADE in concert. This is her first concert after eighteen years. I had the company of my number two daughter and my 'not so' baby sister. A treat we planned to savour and imprint in our memories for a very long time
So from Covent Garden to Green Park station to board the Jubilee line train to North Greenwich up stairs then escalators and out into the O2 London Arena. After queuing to buy memorabilia.........t-shirts, photographic booklets, posters et al, we wander to the land of eateries......... restaurants galore! From East to West, from Thai to Italian and finally settling for Brazilian, an unknown restaurant to my good self, Rodizio Rico. For twenty three pounds you could eat until your hearts content......... the waiters were forever bringing assortments of meat, brown meat, white meat and fish. We washed it down with.......Pina Colada, Mango and Passion fruit cocktail and a local Brazilian beer (mine was the Pina Colada

I've just found out something about the fatality that caused my train from Kings Cross to stop at Hatfield.......
The dead man's name was Martin Collett who it's claimed murdered his ex-girlfriend, Angela Hoytt a few days before (Tuesday)
They were both in their mid-thirties
What is wrong with the human race when one believes they have the right to take another's life (homicide) and then theirs (suicide)?
Life is so precious......... Use it, don't abuse it!
A little bit of; love, compassion, respect, tolerant et al goes a long way
TRY IT!

The train went all the way back to Finsbury Park, stopped for a while before going onward and forward to Biggleswade then St Neots. So my journey that began at one minute past eleven arrived at St Neots at one o'clock in the early hours of Saturday morning. I also had to wait for another taxi as my booked one was not there
Blah! Blah! Blah!......any competent train driver on the train.......please come to the front and make yourself known"
Laughter was heard around the carriage!
"I've always wanted to drive a train!"
More laughter!
"I'll drive"
More laughter
And throughout all this a man sleeps, snoring LOUDLY oblivious to his surroundings
We have a table full of Americans and they thought it was hilarious

Went to the Adelphi theatre to watch 'Love Never Dies' a musical directed by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, a sequel to the brilliant 'Phantom of the opera'
I saw the latter some ten years........maybe more.......and thought it magnificent and tonights show was the icing on the cake! Tonight was a spur of the moment..... spontaneous booking....... two days ago, to be exact
Next week, I'm off to see 'Sade' at the 02
I'm looking forward to it
I just realise that the train has stopped. I kook out into the dark night and see 'Hatfield'.......
No reason given as to why we're here....
"I don't know what's wrong at the moment, I can't get hold of anyone Blah! Blah! Blah!"
"That's reassuring then!" chirps a male commuter
"I've just been informed that the train in front has hit si
something and they're investigating" the driver informs us
Here we go!
Let the countdown begin........
We've been here approximately five minutes, eleven twenty
I may have to put in for a claim
