Happenings at Woodside Park

The problem with disruptions on the tube is that you don’t know about them until it’s too late. This despite the fact that TFL¹ are supposed to send a text to my mobile divvying up the skinny before I get affected; or at least that’s how I understood the service to operate when I signed up for it. I don’t think that I’ve ever received anything from them at all.

I wonder if, because I live in Whetstone, I do not fit the Mayor’s economic profile as a keyworker, so am bottom of the heap when it comes to warnings on travel.

Thus it was that I arrived at the Totteridge and Whetstone station to find it locked with a note telling the world that there was no service between Barnet and Finchley Central because on an ongoing police investigation at Woodside Park. It’s still ongoing now, a couple of hours later. I wonder what vile happening has occurred to cause all the trouble…

Anyway, back up the hill to catch the 263 down to East Finchley and I eventually roll into work around 10.30.

I mention all this simply so that I can display my new commuter icon.

Battlestar: Razor

Does anyone know it this has hit the torrents yet?

I looked last night but couldn't find anything. I am assured that it is (or was) available on the web somewhere. If in doubt, I guess I shall wait until later in the month after its official US broadcast.

As I understand it, it is theoretically the 1st two episodes of seaon 4, but is in fact a standalone story dealibng with warcrimes and atrocities from the first cylon war.
