Right.

Given that it's all fallen to pieces and nobody knows when we're doing it, I suppose there's no point in asking if we're still on for tomorrow..

I would be too if I could be arsed.

Can I be arsed?

Oh by the way, I surfed the entire W&C line unaided between Bank and Waterloo last Saturday and so did Annie Mole.

Do we get prizes?

Well, ladies and 'G's, I shall be there, under the clock at Waterloo, at 1pm, in blue jumper, dark trousers and blue-and-black shoes, awaiting the arrival of fellow challengers. If noone turns up for 10 minutes I'll bugger off back to uni.

See you there!

Sigh... It seems that EVERYONE in the ENTIRE WORLD is unreliable!

Generally, I am reliable, but I just forgot to check last night whether it was on or not.

And ended up assuming it wasn't..

Looks like I might have to buy a few drinks next time we all meet up!

I think there must be either a temporary speed restriction along parts of the W&C Line, or some track replacement has already taken place, as the line is a lot smoother than it has been in the past.

I think one of the hardest places on the tube to stand up without holding on is on the NB Jubilee between Baker St and St John's Wood, where there is sometimes quite a kick where the train passes through the trailing junction with the Bakerloo.

Aaah, between Bank and Waterloo. I was beginning to wonder which section you were on about.
