If I was criminally negligent (opening the wrong train doors etc) then I would expect to lose my job and not have my co-workers rally around to reinstate someone who was unsafe and incompetent.

Why can't they just get on with the jobs their paid to do and not make everyone elses life harder, there's enough uncertainty without having to worry about how to get to work. My firm has frozen wages and has warned of redundancy but nobody is talking about strikes in my office. These unions are too ...

I've recently bought a place in Orpington and cycle to work in Victoria everyday and its exactly the same, I just shout rude things at them in the hope the lights won't change to red and they catch up!

One serving of meat, unlimited servings of veg.

Kidding I am not, just because someone has a crap life and wants to end it dosen't give them justification to mess up hundreds (thousands?) of peoples commute and in the case of the unfortunate train driver, affect them for life as well.

If it was suicide then its bloody selfish, buy some pills, that way you don't mess up everyone elses day.

On the site of the Hexagon building next to Knighton Park there used to be another garage run by a Sikh fellow. It was knocked down about 10 years ago I think.

Bensonby: Is that through choice or inability?

I vote for a Nandos!

A nasty little tip from someone who's not a stranger to muggings and random attacks - When in a potentially dangerous situation put your hands in your pockets and put the yale key in between your two middle fingers (sharp side pointing out.) If the situation does escalate you can surprise them with ...

I meant "massaging" not "massinging"

Can't we let this topic go, he's run off in an over dramatic sulk and all these posts are doing are massinging his ego - Yes his posts were informative but keeping this going serves no purpose. If he has left he won't read them anyway.

My sister went in there and asked for a Mocha and the two women behind the counter spent 30 mins looking for the right button, that was after they'd picked themselves off the floor laughing at the name.

She would get up that hill faster than me to the bar at last orders if there was a rumbaba at the top, once saw her eat several on tv!

There's a new couple who have moved in directly opposite me and they've put a white line in front of their lowered curb that extends about 3 foot past the width of the drive on either side. I wouldn't mind but they've stuck a "gate in constant use" sign on their wall and they don't even own a car ...

But if she parks there, she is only blocking herself in so no harm done, if someone else parks there they are stopping her getting out meaning she has to wait until that fool returns before she can leave. If someone parked across my drive (which has a lowered curb) they'd better be prepared for an ...

Wispy, I hope you don't park in front of people who have a dropped curb so they can't get their car out?

There is down near the station?

Do you mean the Perry Hill?

I'm all for a co-operative coffee shop and would gladly invest as long as I don't have to make any coffee
