I am totally bored of this now.

What is your new job?

?? Nope! I got 16 hours, 50 minutes and 5 seconds (269 stations!)

That was my mistake - I misunderstood a Twitter post.

Well you know what Geoff's like for mischievous posts ... I couldn't tell you whether he was trying to mislead anyone or not. All I know is that he has a good route, and if he gets Olympia in next time (whenever that is) he could be on for the record.

He worked out that if there had been an Olympia train then he would still have got a good time, because he spent 20 minutes waiting for one! If that is true then i Submit my time of September 2008 to World record status as the time would have been 17h 05m You cant second guess what his next train a...

Only because I remember stopping at Kemble once and I was in first class and all i could see out the window was the embankment..no platfor...

Just thought I'd tell you that

Are you saying your (isolating) cock is bigger and more prominent than Neil's?

His trains are newer than mine, and not built in the 70's.

Well, after two weeks off work, and next week to follow, I went for a drive to Swansea yesterday afternoon to ease myself back into it. I wish I'd stayed at home now. The only incident of note on the way down was a trespasser on the line at St. Fagan's, which is not exactly unheard of. I gave him a ...

Isn't he going out with Sam Crawley?

And yet you've been to them all so many times ...
