Beware of the Film Cameras They Might Bite

Apr 03, 2009 10:05

The route to work gets more curious.

Today, there were lots of signs on Bermondsey Street saying:Caution Filming in Process
Naturally, I was therefore very careful in case someone tried to vapourise me with a camera ( Read more... )

I've apparently been driving past the rusty cannon in somebody's front yard for years. Granted, it is cleverly disguised as a bit of rusty metal in the middle of a lot of other rusty metal, but still. Yeesh. I just noticed it today.

I also saw a powder-blue hearse today.

Might be Jade Goody's funeral - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7982970.stm Thank God I'm back in Exeter.

Hadn't realised she was being processed all the way over here (that would explain the helicopters that woke me up this morning).

Probably demonstrates how much attention I've been paying to that story...

Probably, then! I couldn't really escape it, living where my parents do.

And in reply to your post about Virgin - the London Clarets used to use them, but once it got to the point where you were leaving Euston at (approximately - very rarely on time) 8am and couldn't guarantee getting to Burnley for a 3pm kickoff. I remember going to Stockport for a match once, a few years ago. After the match we got to Stockport station to be told that the lines were down around Euston. They could get us as far as Rugby on the train, then we'd be put on a bus to Milton Keynes...After that we were on our own. So we got a train across to Sheffield and got a Midland Mainline train. However, we had to get off that at Leicester because there was a fault with it, so we stood on Leicester for half an hour. Eventually we got back to London (St. Pancras, to be specific). *Before* our *direct* Virgin train was scheduled to have arrived at Euston. *sigh* Since then we've been going via Leeds - no regrets!

Who be the London Clarets?

It's definitely faster to go Virgin to Penrith, just more wobbly, which means I can't really read for long :-(

Last time I tried to get the Carlisle train from leads our train in was late, so we ran across to the platform to find they were shutting the doors. Ran up to the one where the guard was standing as it was still open, he said no shut the door in our faces and we ended up having to wait 2 hours for the next one.
