something has to give ...

i have a theory on violence, binge drinking and other motley pursuits in london ... it basically comes down to a basic element as the quark is in physics ... and the basic element is the tube ... ahhhhh london underground you need to be pulled from 'neath the earth shredded and replanted in away that would provide efficient and relatively care free journeying to the work place ...

pour example ... this morning following hurricaine esque conditions prevailing through the night we awoke to find 'bits of debris' all over london ... thus the debris hits the tracks and tubes are delayed ... so why isnt there someone who can move it !!!

instead there is still frikkin debris on the tracks at 10am ... if this was Japan a laser would have been pointed at said debris and the debris incinerated like in a sci fi film thereby allowing travelling to go on and NOT grind to a halt. But oh no ladies and gents this is london thus two men probably around the ages of 70 per man probably called mo and cliff too were deployed to lift and pick debris from the line ... can anyone else see where i am going ... i hope so as iam not going to for fear of offending everyone (including the elderly) and they dont deserve that ...

so to bring me round to the point that i was stressing at the inception of this wee piece ... as soon as i EVENTUALLY alighted from the Hammersmith and City line this morning i wished i had a hip flask full of brandy to calm me down such was the grrrrrrr that had built up inside ... i also called somebody a c**t for the seond day running as they shoved me through a barrier ... i am a placid man but gee this is getting hard to take ...

and before anyone thinks it ... i know i should cycle but its 8.5 miles each way and i end up being a sweaty wreck ... and i dont like it ... so there !

my solution is this ... take a German town planner a Japanese train desiger and some swiss scientists and get them to oversee a regeneration of the underground system because its present state is driving a man to drink and violent thoughts and actions ... and we dont need that ... i dont need that !!
