Delays, primates, and bowler hat day
Morning Journey: 38 minutes late for work. grrrr.
Journey was delayed by a broken down freight train at Hildenborough *sigh*. Why the heck a freight train would decide to visit Hildenbough is anybodies guess, but then I suppose it is a slightly better prospect than Tonbridge.
Sat next to a man with very big arms who I estimate was taking up about 1/10 of my seat space. I didn't say anything (apart from in my head where I gave him what for) and now I have a sore back from seating at a 5 degree angle. Big Arms Man was watching something on his iPhone, but he was quite secretive... suspiciously so....
...Watching. Porn. Definitely.
A fellow commuter was grumbling with his friend about the delay and said that we were entitled to free tea and coffee because the delay was over 30mins. I could hear a few ears prick at the thought of this free liquid sustinance but....
.... like true Brits none of us said anything as the trolley chap trundled past.
Not sure if people know but it is bowler hat day. Sounds cool but they didn't do it at Waterloo as it's only a "City" thing. Stupid Bankers.
However there was something out of the ordinary as I made my frantic dash for the train at Waterloo. An orange monkey with a collection bucket. On closer inspection is was somebody (I can't be specific on gender) in a monkey suit collecting for the Sumatran Orangutan Society. I Almost handed over some pennies... but the eyes behind the manky monkey suit scared me off *shivers*
Evening Journey: On time!
Got home in time to read my son a Thomas the Tanke Engine story... with all the voices too. Ringo, eat your heart out.
