Where I am transport is convenient if you're going north or south. Wanna go east or west? Forget about it. I can be at King's Cross in 25 minutes, but to get to Guildford I have to then get two tubes to Waterloo, and then get the Portsmouth Harbour train. Similar thing for getting to Southampton.

The most annoying thing is there's a tube station about 15 minutes from my house, in Watford, but getting to Watford is just ridiculously difficult for some reason. My idea would be an underground line that follows the path of the M25, so I could get on at St Albans and get off basically at Guildford. If I run for mayor will you all vote for me?

You guys don't just drive everywhere in pointlessly big SUV's that you can't figure out how park? What an odd country.
 
One of those articles which is all about a player from ManU and how he can be thrown at a club who have no apparent aspirations [according to the article writer] and therefore have enough altruism to bring on a ManU player. Wilfred Zaha. I know a great club for him to fulfil the role - Crystal Palace.

There may have been some compliments in there, but it just left me feeling patronised. If Mauricio feels he would be useful to us...okay...but doing a favour to the player or ManU...forget it. I warched him in the U21s yesterday...at first he looked exciting, then he got annoying. Tricks for tricks sake. Needs to learn how to use his skills. Different position I know, but I preferred the calmness, intelligence and accuracy of JWP.
 
The UK is such a police state.

I will have far more respect for our police if they continue kicking obnoxious Tory politician's arses.

The coppers who stitched up the snobbish Tory Whip should be awarded medals and lots of other honours and be celebrated as working class heroes.

They should now tell Eton toff and rich Tory boy Cameron and his grubby mates to use the back door to Number 10.

You have to give it to the bloody Tories going on about how the Russian oligarchs stole state assets.

What we have just witnessed with the Royal Mail sell off is rich Tory boys looking after their rich Tory friends and losing millions for the exchequer in the process.

They've been taking lessons from Abramovich.

Not to worry though. They'll recover most of any budget shortfall with another assault on the pockets of the poor.

Up the revolution brothers and let us hope it happens soon.

LOL wife and Policeman comment !!!
 
Ah that's not bad. Much better than Guildford's habit of "going to Waterloo or Woking? Sweet. Going anywhere else? **** off then." Particularly useful as nobody ever wants to go to Woking.

I dunno if I'd vote for you though. As good as that underground idea sounds, my foolproof strategy is to vote for the funniest name, and I dunno if Joe Steinberg is funny enough. It's not as funny as Boris. If you change it, you've got a deal.

Woking is good for getting to Southampton for the games!

I actually used to live in Guildford and met my future ex-fiancee at Bar Mambo's (is that still there??) Yes, I know, I know.....
 
I love all forms of motorsport. I get Autosport delivered to my door every week too, so I stay pretty clued up with most series around the world. I was always the go-to guy anytime new drivers came into F1, I have insane levels of junior series knowledge, all the way down to like Formula Renault level (without meaning to brag <laugh>)

I'll take your Autosport and raise you Motor Sport each month as well. If you don't already, it's well worth getting purely for Nigel Roebuck's writing (for me, by far the best and most perceptive F1 journalist).

Well my dad could batter your dad etc <laugh>

Never heard of Motor Sport if I'm honest. Is it out in the shops? If so, I may have a nosey at the next issue.

Haha, sorry, I didn't mean it in a dad battering way! But yes, MotorSport Magazine is the green one - it's excellent. F1 Racing isn't bad either, though a bit more populist and a little less purist!
 
Been trawling through iPlayer trying to find some decent BBC programming. It's proving difficult. "Stephen Fry: Out There" is very good, and there's a decent documentary on the Ottomans, but now I'm all out of ideas.

Recommendations?
 
You Capitalist lackey. Get a spine FFS and stop being a Tory lapdog.

Ever read this travel book, StG ? It's very good indeed. Must have read it at least 3 or 4 times over the years.

From 1962. Touring round Scandinavia, USSR and the Middle East in a 1926 Alvis. Brilliantly written, full of wit, charm and insight.

I used to get F1 Racing, but then when I got into all the junior series, I switched to Autosport because some of it's articles on lower-level drivers are pretty interesting. Don't suppose you're a fan of junior series like GP2, GP3 etc?
