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.

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. ;)

What about London makes you so pissed off?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

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.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

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

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.....
