Wossa point, right...

... of DLR running trains all the way to Lewisham, right, when I wanna
get off at Mudchute, innit?

Then all you get is "we're not adequately funded". well, **** 'em,
that's what I say.

Wull yuh see oright, ivvey year we remember hoo this yorkshire geezer
tried to blow up the toory whelps, y'see. Sooo we hald a wee party to
celebrate yukken.

But hat bint atop the fire y'see. That's Marg'ret.

 

so you're saying your train ran non stop from Crossharbour to Lewisham

what? They've got more money at DLR than they know what to do with.

 

This was a driverless train, right? Maybe they've done a service pack
upgrade.

 

LOL

Excellent.

 

It certainly seemed like it.

One minute I'm changing trains at Westferry, next thing I'm being
rudely awakened at Lewisham.

Disgraceful, it was.

So a typical Dodger DLR Disaster after dodgy drinking then?

 

Possibly. I couldn't possibly comment.

I had a very pleasant evening, as it 'appens; I now know all I'll ever
need to know about muons and bozos, and stuff.

It appears that I have developed an allergy towards alcohol, mind. I
guess, long term, this can only be a good thing.

Should save money on take away curries, for a start.[1]

On the up-side, it appears that the Blackbird passed its MOT.

[1] bought with the money I'd "saved" by getting the DLR home rather
than a taxi. It's currently sat in a frying pan, warming up for
breakfast. By the time I got home, it was cold.

Falls into place, the whole complaint by SD, doesn't it? <G>

 

Oh boy. You *are* in trouble. <VBG>

She hasn't got one on file already?

 

LOL. I'm glad I stayed awake on the way home as I would of ended up in
Southend.

 

Done that. The fare to my place is about 60 quid. Would have been
equally costly, and less time-consuming to have got the cab from
Central London.

It costs them about that.
