You know, Mr. Cranky has spent the past two weeks saying he wants to be LESS INVOLVED in neighbourhood affairs, and have less annoyance and botheration from the little old ladies and their petty feuds to sue each other. And he comes home from a residents association meeting - an hour and a half late, mind you - saying he's now the president.

I mean, honestly, he came home, and I'd already made dinner and eaten mine BY MYSELF cause I got sick of waiting for him. So I warmed his up, and the moment I served it onto the plate, ANOTHER OLD LADY CAME BY AND KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND PESTERED HIM FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES SO HIS DINNER GOT COLD AGAIN.
I felt like a housewife in a crap fifties movie.

I hate tube people riding on busses. I hate people who go into work even though they're sick and insist on infecting you with their awful horrible germs and sneeze on the bus and don't even cover their noses or mouths so their germs end up in your hair I HATE THEM HATE THEM HATE THEM.

Why is it that when one train is cancelled, they think its in some way a good idea to lop two coaches off the end of the following one?

of course the other passngers may take his side not yrs if they are weary and want to get home and think ur being dick-like - but the "go and find a machine that's working" is totally unreasonable, and a lot of the drivers know it, as they are on the sharp end
i wz dignified but withering, but then the driver in my case wz abt nine and clearly on his first day out

Only since august and only in central London, but its just catching up with the rest of Europe.
― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)
So in the UK or London or wherever you have to buy a ticket from a machine just before you hail a bus? That's insane!
only in london, i think, and even there you can buy off the conductor sometimes.
― enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)
i think it has something to do with ken livingstone's new initatives to clear up traffic/speed up transactions/speed up bus times. but he still had time to up the council tax by like 75 percent. england is insane.

andrew, the ticket thing only operates in the central zone and it is really recent and ill thought-through - the idea is it speeds the buses up (cz yr not paying the driver) (ie they finally realised that getting rid of the conductor wz slowing the system down) but if half the machines aren't working this reasoning obviously falls
― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)
But as he got off, the conductor told him ONE MORE NICKEL, so Charlie never got off of that train!
So did he ever return?No he never returnedAnd his fate is still unlearnedHe may ride foreverBeneath the streets of BostonHe's the man who never returned...

love that phrase! mind you, i shared a train carriage with some very complementary us tourists the other day: they were all bigging up oliver cromwell ('the original parliamentarian') and doing that classic self-deprecatory 'our history is only 227 years old' (which a quite a punxXor/racist/imperialist perspective?) stuff. i told em to keep their gold-brickin republican asses out of proudly royalist oxford. actually, not.

spivo's next book was to be called 'war without the shooting'. it's about the olyimpic games, and he's doing a c5 series to accompany, or vice versa. we were going to have his author photo of him in a tracksuit, but i think it's been nixed.

I knew about the book, but I didn't know about the series! Excellent! I've been missing Horny Historians of WWII!!! Tracksuit... uuuuhhhhhhh... why was that nixed? It's excellent.
The series/book will be interested if he traces the development from disorganised warfare to organised sports - and then traces it back again, and brings in modern links to football violence etc. Also, the Cold War aspects of the Games, and how they were used as a political football during the 80s.
If it's just an apologist's justification for the modern Olympics, then I'm really going to be cross with him because we don't want it in the UK, thanks, it's bankrupted every city that's hosted it! (Though it would be nice if we got good public transport - and a MONORAIL - out of it. Though really, we should get that and not have to pay for the Games!)
