There's something not quite right with the Northern Line tonight. Not quite severe delays, or even minor delays, but certainly severe arsing around.

At Euston the indicator board excelled itself by being exactly wrong for every train that came in, and when I finally managed to find a train to High Barnet that wasn't a mobile version of the Black Hole of Calcutta, it made up for it by sitting motionless between stations for extended and unexplained periods.

Then they turfed us off at Finchley Central in the pouring rain to await another mobile sardine canister.

Still, I'm home now, and calmed down. If it wasn't for the fact that I wish to debut it, you'd have to wait until I get properly riled to use my new icon. As it is, that's how I felt a half hour ago...

Thank you,

I now have a disturbing alternative for "Faster, Pussycat, Kill"

I got on at Golders Green and was told that they were sorry for the delay but it was because one of their drivers hadn't taken the train into the sidings far enough so it had locked up the whole of the northern line south of us... What twats

After many years of being the only one, I am quite astounded that someone else on LJ has added 'moustache-twirling villainy' to their list of interests.

I say,

Well it is rather a splendid interest, isn't it?

I say, Mr Wavy, what a perfectly ripping icon. Good show! Rather.

And another! I will have to have you discretely bumped awff, and hidden, so I can filch the blighters.

Unfortunately, here in the land of hooded thugs with their trousers around their knees, who communicate in grunts such as "Yo, whuss-up," I am an anachronism with my disdainful looks and muttered oaths of "you steaming buggers" and "enunciate, you cloth-headed colonial cretins". Ah, one must fly the flag as best one can.

Have you considered conquering them? With their poor diet and lack of fibre and moral backbone I'm sure it wouldn't take more than an afternoon.

I have. The clueless nerks just haven't realised it yet. Actually, the nosh over here is bloody superlative, particularly that of the Mexican variety. I have often waxed lyrical about it on my tatty page, the Groove Shack (I would link to it but hecky thump if I know how). Being married to a Mexican, I live in Nosh Heaven. Good-oh!

Why on earth did you move over there to marry a mexican? Did you not know that you can get them mail-order in our neck of the woods these days?

Can I add goatee scratching?

Himalayan Mountain exploring aside I think it may have to come off......
