Title: A pre-emptive apology
Post by: aldo_14 on December 12, 2004, 04:46:19 pm
Er... I'm going to be in absolutely foul mood most of this week because I have to go down to London* yet a-bloody-gain, so I'd just like to apologise to anyone I inadvertantly piss off.

**haaauuuuuuk* *spit*

If you have to spit, please use the Manchester Ship canal on the way down ;)

aldo, I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I don't like you very much and have always considered you somewhat of a twat.

That is all.

Hehehe - not a leisure trip then? I'm going to London to get drunk with some mates on Wednesday. Should be good. Expensive, but nice, uh, scenery. ;)

Because Glasgows miles better.

EDIT; oh, and I'm also going to miss the ****ing Gers-Auxerre game and will have to fork out to get the radio commentary on the hotel wifi.

Grr.

Seriously, I can imagine. I've been on the M what'sitcalled, the ring around London. That can be bloody horror already. Last time I've been in London itsself is when I was 4, but I can peace together enough to imagine a busy city. But seeing as I can't stand any big city for longer then a week, I think I somewhat understand aldo,

M25, every day...

I drive into Fulham to work.  London is great if you like cities, which I don't...

On the plus side there is everything in London

On the minus side there is everything in London

I do remember the story of this guy on the London motorways, during that heat spell 2 years ago. The guy was driving a Jag with airco. He ended up in the hospital with frostbite in his leg.

Ouch!  

Well, it's just the opposite right now, with a 'high' of 4c (39f) so most peoples are blasting heat, not cold...

Ah, well, time to leave and head round the circular hell.

Oh, btw - In 'Good Omens' I think it was, the M25 formed an occult circle creating a ring of misery and suffering.  Neil Gaiman obviously travelled on it a few times.....

You read that as well? Yes, I did like the fact that Crowly was proud of his efforts to turn an ordinary road into a constant prayer wheel for the generation of negative feelings.

Funny thing.. it's quite plausable! ;)

I'd have thought you'd be used to being in a bobbins city living in Glasgow 'n' all. Now, if you lived in Manchester, that would be different.
