1. "WHY DO YOU DO THIS EVERY DAY?" Grafitti on wooden fence on your left. Next to it used to be a big poster explaining how Tony Blair was destroying Christian Radio but now there's more graf - "FOOD NOT BOMBS" and what looks like a picture of a man jumping about in some water.
2. The Brewmaster Hotel, Hillingdon, a squat octangular building with a glowing neon strip all around the edge - at night a thing of high magnitude, by day the shabbiest and poorest looking building you might ever hope not to see. A symbol of travelling-salesman loneliness, the home you imagine of lost souls forever stranded at London's outer limit.
3. Park Royal underground station, a beautiful square brick tower amidst rows of modest terrace housing. A steady stream of 1930s clerks file in and out dreaming aspirational dreams (or you'd like to think so.)
4. The Hoover Factory. "It's not a matter of life and death, but what is? What is?" - Elvis Costello, from his song about the grand Art Deco building (now a Tesco's supermarket) which comes into my head every time I make the journey.
5. The flyover at Shepherd's Bush. Under it, you can see out of the windows, is a basketball court, glass-walled and -roofed. When I first took the Tube it was barely a tennis court, covered in grafitti, with local kids playing there. It's gradually grown, getting proper flooring and markings, then a building, now this modern leisure complex but I hope the same kids play on it - or their brothers at least.

Urgh it sounds horrifically zoider based on Sunday, sorry I couldn't make it, but you wouldn't have wanted my zoider hatin' ways there anyway.
A significant proportion of the sidra natural was lost, it's true, but not down my chin. (Incidentally I decided I wanted to be a Masters of the Universe character called SidRa.)

3. Low (performed a cover version of "Thank You for Hearing Me" while dogs played and many teenage girls hula-hooped on my parents' front lawn.)
2. Christina Ricci (did her.)

5. EK: Twenty Benson, please.CSP: You don't want any beer?EK: Er, no thanks. Maybe this afternoon.
4.CSP: Hey man, how are you doing?[EK answers pretty friendlily, is drawn into short conversation, leaves and never returns to shop which is by far the closest to EK's flat at the time, instead walking to shops which are further away, owing to fear of having to talk to strangers.]
3.[EK is purchasing some nice chocolates.]CSP: These look good. Are they good?EK: Yeah. I mean, I like them.CSP: Mmm, they look good! Maybe I should have some?EK: I think you should. They're good.CSP: You think I should? They look good.EK: Yeah, maybe you should. They're good.
2.[EK is buying assorted groceries and some cigarettes. He pays, receives change, and continues to stand at the counter like a dope. CSP wonders why EK is still there.]EK (finally, nervously): And the cigarettes?CSP: I already gave you them.EK [checks bag]: No, look, I don't think you did.CSP: I did. Don't pull this crap on me.EK: Seriously, I think you forgot to give me my cigarettes.CSP; I gave you your cigarettes, okay?EK: You didn't! [Checks pockets.] Shit. Here they are! [Grins with embarrassment.] Sorry![CSP sneers at EK, who leaves.]
1.EK [in Scottish accent, which makes 'i's sound like 'u's]: Do you have binbags?CSP: Do we have what?EK: Binbags.CSP: Sorry, I don't understand you.EK: Binbags! [Spots binbags] Oh, there they are.CSP: Ah! You meant BLACK bags. [Laughing at EK] You didn't want to say the word 'black' because I am black, eh?EK: No, really, I call them binbags...
