It's just been so long! You didn't think this day would ever come *sobs*

It was very, very, very slow.
I went on a teeeny narrowguage one. Didn't get the chance to go on a big one. 
(Oo er indeed.)
Where was that though?
Did I ever say I've been on the one what is the Harry Potter one? Great fun. I even got to go on the footplate and have my photo taken and everything! 
Have you seen the Duck Tours on the Thames? Genius!
The fact the HSBC's credit card paying off option doesn't work online, meaning I will have to queue up like twat for 3 hours.
F**k you HSBC!

Yeah, have actually been on one in Amsterdam. They're brilliant.

Erm... Yeovil junction to... somewhere.
It also rained, so it wasn't the joyous occasion it could have been!
I used to despise my bus trip from my apartment to the Downtown core of Ottawa. It took over half an hour to travel 3.4 km all because of the #5 bus which had a bus stop ever block!
Now I live 8.7 km from downtown and it only takes me 15 minutes, all because I have access to the transit way. Stupid Ottawa Transportation services.
I want to have a go on one, but I'm scared about the weight entailed in a car, and how on earth that can transfer to being a boat!

Ah, I don't mind the rain. (Surprise surprise.) I do rather enjoy the cosiness of being inside whilst it's all wet and 'nasty' out.

Magical powers. In fact, zooo-powered!
Not that I'm implying they harness her up and she has to pull them through the streets or anything. Just ... yeah, anyway.
Rain is great! But I was dressed for sun!
Froze my bum off, I did.
Ah. Well that's not quite as fun then, no. Last time I was on a proper steam choo choo was up in Scotland a few years ago, now I think about it. It went through the station from Monarch of the Glen, which also excited me quite a lot.
Is it wrong that I get excited when the Tube trains do the proper choo choo whistle sound? :/
(Ooo, look at my postcount! Go me!)
Unlucky for some!
I love it when the thing comes up on the sign saying 'train delayed due to body on the line'.
(well, I don't love it but you know what I mean.)
It's just so flipping blunt.
LOL. I've never seen that, I must admit. It's always "... delays due to a fatality at ...", and even then only announced, never on a screen of any kind!
True story this - until a couple of months ago, the ONLY time I had ever seen the guy who works at my local station smiling was the morning some guy jumped in front of a train and creamed himself.
I think he may actually be a vampire or summink.
Crikey! Maybe he pushed him.
(I've seen that announcement 4 times!)
Stroppy prima donna actresses... aargh!
All she's got to do is eat a friggin' egg.
Deep breaths.
