… 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″ samples. I know it’s a cheesey old hit by crooner Tony Orlando (of “Tie a yellow ribbon…” fame), but I don’t know which one. I just thought I’d ask in wild hope that someone might know … !
I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

Sad isn’t it, poor lads got nowt better to blog than this!
Oh, and sadder still, I only did this so I could be first!
Oh, and by the way, I meant the bit about Estelle being sad, not Tube relief. Just wish my employer could’ve given me time off. Good luck all of you.
He’s filling time until he gets some Tube Relief …
Ok Folks I’m blogging the Tube Relief Challenge while they’re all doing it.
Hope to see you making comments on it
Cheers

Good work on getting the tube challenge on the bbc news feed box syndication thingy . How’d ya manage that huh?
Well done on the media-whoreage for Tube Relief – just stumbled across:

Ok then, I admit I haven’t been paying attention – hence only becoming aware that the Challenge had “gone live” from the BBC News website!
Have read the Going Underground blog, and the other guides, and it’s bringing back lots of memories from the Zone1 Challenge a few months back. Good also to see the pics from my (original) neck of the woods; Harrow and Wealdstone, Kenton, Cannons Park, Edgware etc.
Well done everyone – you *are* going to be comprehensively knackered afterwards!
