ventaPottered down to London tonight, to meet an old school friend for dinner. Owing to train problems, I had to go via Waterloo, which meant catching the stopping train. One other commuter suggested that maybe the Winnersh Triangle (where it stops) is where all the missing/late trains go. I like this idea.
Occasionally I've seen people expressing the theory that ghosts are created when people die with a lot of negative energy/though directed against them. For example, someone dies with someone hating them particularly vehemently.
I reckon the fastest way to achieve this is to throw yourself in front of a train. OK, so maybe it doesn't have the intensity of one person really hating you, but just think of the low-level loathing you generate as you infuriate thousands of commuters.
RIP, whoever you were, in Slough this evening.
Having been diverted, because Slough was closed, I ended up catching the Northern line up from Waterloo. Someone had printed up small stickers, black on white, which fitted exactly on to the tube map and could be used to add breaks ("Mind the Gap"), dead ends, and loop-the-loops to the map showing the route of the Northern line. Now, these stickers had been carefully affixed so's not to obscure the station names; they didn't intefere with one's reading of the map. They were utterly harmless (unless you were seriously worried by the map indicating potential alien abduction in the Moorgate region). And they made me giggle after a very pestilent journey. That's my kind of graffiti.
And nearly 6 pounds for two pints?

Re: Humph
Date: 2002-12-22 02:56 am (UTC)While I agree that it'd be absolutely no defence in a law court, I consider it acceptable to nick the images since I'm not going to *do* anything with them. If I were going to print up my own stickers, I'd agree it would be most dubious.
However, I've emailed the nice Mr Croll to ask him. Hey, he can only sue me :)
