I think this might be the longest time for a while that I’ve left such a gap since I’ve blogged. What can I say? It’s been a busy week. Busier than one that I can ever remember for a while, as I’ve had a few other non-tube issues to sort out as well, and coupled [...]

We’re back … !
So we got up at 4am yesterday, and I got to sleep at 4am this morning - I guess most people were up for 24 hours or so.
Bizarrely, my shoulders ache like hell and not my legs, and I have the most attractive bags under my eyes from not really getting much [...]

… it’ll be when this is all over. It’s not to late to sponsor us, by the way - and the blog’ll be back on Saturday.
Totally bizarre question of the day though - and there’s a lollipop in it for the winner - I’m desperately trying to find that song which Estelle’s “1980″ [...]

You have to have respect for the new Goldie Lookin’ Chain single “Your missus is a nutter”, for having my favourite lyric, of all time - ever - in a song:

“It was last week, what really got me thinking, about how yer missus goes nuts when we go drinking, last week she ended up on [...]

Ok, so I’ve had my birthday, and now we’ve had the second weekend of the football season (and we are sooo top of the league, yay!), but you really know when summer is over and the countdown to Christmas is on when X-Factor comes back on Chav-TV on Saturday nights.
It’s all perfectly set up [...]

Ten things you can do on your 33rd birthday.
1. Get attitude
Make sure that you’ve just worked nightshifts so that your body is confused about when it is supposed to be awake, and when it is supposed to be asleep. When you do groggily wake up, this well help add to your already surly mood [...]

I love my job (I think I’ve mentioned that once or twice before), but when on those long lonely nightshifts, you sometimes need an entertaining story to land in your inbox to bring a smile on your face, and this one did it perfectly.
I gave mention to the editor of the BBC news website a [...]

On nightshifts tonight then, and driving to work at 8.15pm this evening I noticed a slightly depressing thing - I had to put my lights on. Only my sidelights mind you, but enough to make me a little sad at the shortening days. How many shopping days left ’til Christmas?
I’m still on [...]

Honestly. You have no ‘fave’ songs for weeks, and then about three all turn up at once. Hot on the heels of the new Gorillaz single and the excellent sing-a-long-a-Daniel Powter tune, I heard Coldplay’s “Fix you” as I drove to work the other morning for earlies, and the sun was beaming [...]

As started yesterday (see below if you missed it). Neil’s you can quite visibly see some growth - whilst on mine, well .. it looks like I’ve re-used yesterday’s image, but I haven’t - honest!
And and a nice 2-0 win to the Lilywhites! Good start to the season.

Oh my goodness! How good is this? It’s the ultimate Geoff fantasy : iPods meet the London Underground.
As also blogged on the Going Underground blogspot, a chap in the US has formatted the classic tube map for you to sync up onto your iPod photo so that you can browse the tube map whilst [...]

Blimey. The football season is nearly upon us, isn’t it? And as someone nagged me the other day “You haven’t mentioned the football yet!” from a fellow Spurs supporter, I thought I’d mention it.
The thing is that it freaks me out when the football starts again, because it means that my birthday [...]
