Much. Life would be easier (though certainly not better) if you could fix the world with an operation, but you can't, and the suggestion that you can offends me.

that is awesome.
though i admit, my knowledge from the Underground comes from "Tunnel Vision" and "Neverwhere"
and well, wikipedia, of course

Oooh, I read Neverwhere a few weeks ago. I loved it, but I'm now officially too scared to go to Shepherd's Bush.

You should put a sticker with IAWTC on it ;)
