so there's going to be a strike on the london underground next week
a 48 hour strike. who else is going to be utterly screwed for transport? i am: it's a half hour bus (or 40 minute walk) to a train station, and i can get from there to liverpool street, but i'm still 3+ miles and on the other side of london to where i need to get to. this is going to be FUN. i can see myself leaving the flat at 6am on wednesday and not getting into work until 9. so which other of you good people is going to be utterly buggered?
lol @ people who live in the sticks
no - they've got the overground.
its the zone 2ers who are fucked. i.e. me.
same here
I might try and run to work, like 4 miles innit.
no thanks.
i'll just get a bus and see what happens. i wont be in any sort of rush
i'm going to set fire to your snake flag
i'm not scared
it'd take you so long to get here from your shotgun shack out in the boondocks that i'd have ample time to hide it really well.
then i'll just burn it all and pray to god that it's destroyed
lol @ people who have to work next week
I'll give you unlimited piggybacks for a tenner
will probably just work from home
cheers

Are all lines on strike?
I'll just get a bus. Maybe I'll devise the plot to a great novel with the extra 30 minutes it will take me to get to work.
the ENTIRE underground network
7pm tuesday to 7pm thusrday
Dude
the sheer weight of people going for the bus will mean the demand will not be satisfied.
FAT JOKE
I'll leave earlier. Or work from home.
i want to get to work, not die on the roads
(a) is it definite?
(b) will some lines still be running?
(c) I can work from home. You should do that too.
a) as with any of these things, unless there's a last minute cancellation
b) no
c) possible but unlikely - i have no landline at home so it's hard to be reached and i'm generally needed for quite a bit of stuff around the office (to make tea lol)
Woo Eastcote!
50 minute walk to West Ruislip, W. Ruislip to Marylebone then another 45 minute walk to Fleet Steet (I don't dare try the buses...)
get the bus to south ruislip and get the train from there
Thanks for the heads-up
I shall try that.
just don't blame me if it all goes horribly wrong
Oh that means my bus will be rammed
and that I'll be stuck at Angel for hours and get up walking.
Excellent.
*end up walking
rather
Oh they're still in talks
so it might not happen

But seriously
HOW CAN THEY BE IN TALKS REGARDING PAY, UNDERGROUND STAFF GET PAID SHITLOADS
Tube driver salary's £31K!
Good to see having a Tory mayor has made all the difference.
:D
HE PROMISED US A NO STRIKE DEAL!
and the fuckers've already been offered a guranteed 0.5% above inflation
doesn't affect me tho. Travel Norf of London innit.
they're in permanent talks.
if the bus stops are rammed just walk the 5 minutes to the previous
stop, if there is one, and get on there. I don't know why more people don't do this.
You'd be going the wrong way!
for a few minutes
but that would be mere trifle when the bus pulls up at the rammed stop and you look out the window at everyone trying to push on
but you'd get on a bus much quicker.
the bus stops in london are ludicrously close as well. about 150 metres apart
But you'd be going the wrong way!
PS I'm not endorsing this view, just explaining the logic that prevents people from doing it...
yeah,
but logically, you'd get a bus and not have to wait. I.E get to where you're going quciker. therefore: logical captain
I can walk to work in an hour or so.
I'll be alight if the weather's okay.
This doesn't make Bob Crowe any less of a cunt though.
this just in:
the london borough of islington is going to be SNOWBOUND with FROZEN ACID RAIN next week
I'd probably get time off.
We're gonna have a full overground train network soon.
Imagine that? Trains but ones that go OVER the GROUND! It'll be like the future only right now.
they have trams in Croydon
nobody wants to go to Croydon though
Tramlink innit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramlink
Yeah but
it means living up north
fuck's sake why dont you all just fucking drive
godsake
oh like you haven't got a vested interest in us all buying more petrol
SHAMELESS
oh man choose the week i'm going to be in london :(
i chose the wrong week to give up smoking
i chose the wrong week to give up drinking
i chose the wrong week to give up sniffing glue
Doesn't work without the opening "Looks like..." in my opinion.
:D
i chose the wrong week to give up amphetamines
I live in Zone 1 and have a Vespa
I will be sure to toot my horn in an effete fashion as I burn past you in your crowded human 'bus stops'
