Went to London today...

Apologies if this is very cliché.

Went to London today. Got there just before 9.

WHAT THE FUCK!

I have never walked so much to get somewhere that seems to be down the road on a f**king map.
By 9.30 I was breathing out of my arse, and had eaten my sandwich's.
Everyone's in a rush apart from the tourists like me, to get somewhere, I saw an old man, who must have been about 70, literally sprint past me on the escalator.
Also stood about half an inch from a woman's face on the tube, and I accidentally shoved into her when it got a bit rocky... she didn't even budge or flinch. WTF.

The first time I got onto the packed tube, I stood with my gfriend next to a million people, and it was silent. As I slipped across the rail when it had a bit of a wobble, I let out a Keith Chegwin 'Wahey'. Nobody was impressed.

Went to Natural History museum which was very good, really enjoyed that.

Also Harrods, which is full of robotic employee's, tourists and tosser's.

Covent Garden, which I did like, although a few hundred people stood and watched a tit on a unicycle ride about with a painted face. They've come to London with all the history, Art and museum's to stand and watch a guy act a tool. I stood and watched to see if he would fall off...he didn't. No money was exchanged.

Headed back to Euston, to go home. Got off the tube, and I suddenly had a two minute warning, and had to dash for the toilet. Amy said it was because of all the walking. Got to the toilets and was horrified to see I had to pay 30p. Not bothered about the money, it's just when you desperately need a shit you find it upsetting and the body has prepared for the motions to happen and it is a bit of a gut churner when you are looking for 30p, which is in your wallet, which is in your bag, whilst you stand there shaking a little bit from the intense pressure.
(I'm sure the guy in the cubicle next to me, didn't know what was going on)

It was a great day. Will need to go again.

Laughing out loud

That's been my experiences too. Fun though.

Luxury!

That sounded a good day. You should try when it's not the summer holidays.

F**k we were probably at the Euston shitters at the same time.

How synergistic is that.

Scotti, did you see my feathered friend

To much to do in one day obviously, but will go back soon.
Enjoyed it though.

:D

Yeah.

Got some weird shit in there haven't they, a fish that can eat something twice the size of itself. Anglefish I think.

Soot, apologies. But for 30p, I was giving my all.

Ha ScottiDog - welcome to my every day life.

Aside from the sea of misplaced apostrophes...

What'd you expect her to do? It'll happen a dozen times every time she uses the Tube. No big deal.

Unimpressed

Yes, but by the sounds of it, he hasn't become an emotionally dead robot. Like most people making a commute in London. It is a culture shock, being that crammed in like that.

True.

It is a bit crazy, but they are obviously used to it like Aaron says.

There's a difference between being "emotionally dead" and learning to tolerate something that happens to you, and that you do to others, multiple times a day, without having a screaming hissy fit and 'glassing' the other person.

Really, you northerners...!

We are. It's very obvious when someone who shouldn't be on the tube during the commute hours gets on the tube.

It can be quite crammed on the tube, but I have special tactics.
I know where to stand on the platform where the doors will open, and which carriage will probably be the emptiest.
I just make sure I dive in really quickly when the door opens and I can usually run to the last empty seat.
Unless of course there's a pregnant lady wanting the same seat, in which case I don't need to run as fast.
:D Whistling nnocently

Heheh, so true.
