LU....
So, it seems I got a fine from LU (tfl?) for not touching in or out. Very unjust if you ask me. I used 4 buses (as the piccadilly line was suspended) and then the tube from Finsbury Park to Bank. I had already used a bus before all that too so by my reckoning I had spent enough to get my pay as you go oyster to roll over into a travelcard.
Then used DLR and didn't touch out (it was dark and card readers were nowhere to be seen, since been told they were being hidden by stupid free paper people) so having touched in at Bank and not touched out I presume this is where the problem occured.
On the way home I ran for the train as it pulled into the station so again didn't manage to touch in and as I had not touched in on DLR I didn't touch out at Finsbury Park. That journey never happened then. Went to get the bus and despite my having about £2 on my card it said no funds.
I gather I am now probably in minus money on my card. Lovely.
Still, I got out of Docklands without getting stabbed or anything, quite a task if you take the offer from my brother at face value. I was told that if I didn't have to be home (as in 30 minutes or so away) I could have the sofabed.
It's ebay time again.
Beatmania Core Remix HDD - even if you can't use it you get a 2.5" HDD for your troubles!!!
GTO Manga, I have issue 1 - 18 all up for just 99p plus delivery by arrangement if you're local. Even if you buy them all!
Educational! Seriously, light hearted as Love Hina is this dual language version is better than the rest!! Again, if you're local I'll meet you with them.
It's time to put my Evangelion stash on soon too..... bought as an investmant but I fear I missed the boat on when to sell them. I'm half tempted to keep the Kubrick complete set mainly as I know I will lose far too much money on what I originally paid on them. I still remember tracking down the last one I needed in Southampton during Minamicon 5 or 6!
And finally.....
My Wii has been slated as Ready for Dispatch by Woolies. Their site says:
"This item has billed successfully and is ready for despatch within the next 24 - 48 hours (usually the same working day as the item is billed)."
Somehow I don't think I'll get it early though.
