Good to hear from you MLC. I echo what The Fat One has said.

Can't really empathise with falling in love with any big city. Dirty, smelly and loud places that they are - do hope that your affair continues though.

I suspect the deafening silence on the Olympics has something to do with the fact that the Ozzies are doing shite. We soap-dodging limeys Wink however are flying. I've watched some sports avidly that I never thought could be so entertaining, cycling for one. Interesting article here...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersp...mpics.html, and the same paper also had one of the better pieces I've read on St Paula's performance ...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersp...mpics.html

I sat with my son to watch Phelps win his 8th gold, and found myself doing the father/son bit by telling him the significance of what we were watching. great stuff!

Thankfully my usual train experience is limited to the 15 or so minutes necessary to get back home from Lewes when Sweder drags me out for a couple of swifties, although El G is right about the shiny Virgin trains. The best idea that Virgin had was to introduce a quiet carriage. No phones, no music and no screaming kids - great!

I've also noticed that (although it may have stopped now due to the the accompanying howls of derision) station announcers stopped calling us 'passengers' and made us 'customers'. :RFLMAO:
