Transport problems today. Central line part suspended.

Good luck anyone to anyone going to Stratford.

Not great the problem on central line due to a fire alarm. Hope that got sorted out.

Watching the Olympics makes me want to go, shame the tickets are so expensive.

Apparently someone has been arrested in connection with the nasty tweets to Tom Daley. A 17 year old. I looked at his timeline yesterday - he's been tweeting loads of people just tring to bait them into a slanging match. Horrible horrible person. Threatening to kill people etc etc...

But if they don't stay in the area they to have to travel for a while. And get warmed up etc, they probably were on the same train as your OH!

I am pretty sure the athletes would be on coaches rather than public transport. ;)

It's not working, the violin is still playing. I woke up at 5.15am for no reason. OH got up to go and watch on a bloody good jolly, the athletes got up to compete and try and win a medal.

Me, why did I? Cos OH was getting up to watch the athletes.

GOD that violin is playing a sympathy I mean a symphony o/ o/ o/ o/ .
