Yep, same thing has happened, once again.  Three times this week.  Today there was a twist though.  The 0840 was actually announced as arriving on Platform 3, but of course it arrived on the usual Platform 1.  I swear those idiots at the station are having fun at our expense, grrrrrrr!

If you have read my past posts, you’ll know that I have ranted about the stupid games they play with trains arriving at different platforms at Norwood Junction station. So on Monday I come to Norwood Junction station 5 mins later than usual and I see the usual 0840 train to London Bridge crowd there.  Of course, now I’m far smarter than the silly train announcers and I anticipate that the

Ah, Tit Monday. It's not that far off now you know, that glorious day when, heading into work on the bus, or walking to the Tube, or sitting on the train, you find yourself suddenly chirpier than you have been in months. You find yourself smiling at strangers again. There is a mild involuntary tumescence in your trousers that comes and goes throughout the morning with the comforting regularity of

It's umbelievable how shit Facebook Mobile is. It has rendering problems on the in-built browsers on Nokia phones, it's shite in Opera Mobile and the stupid links don't work. Yep, try and delete a post you have made and watch as it makes you inexplicity log into the main site (which mobile browsers can't cope with) and then tell you it's the wrong URL. WOT. Complete shit. Avoid.

So… it happened YET AGAIN.  Stupid musical platforms for the last two days at the stupid Norwood Junction station.  Idiots, idiots, idiots!

Did you watch Eastenders on January 1st?  Complete shite.  Last night's episode was another nail in the coffin for it. The storylines are shit, the acting is shit, everything about it is shit. The best times was back in the day when Grant and Phil ruled the roost. It was still great even when Grant first left and Phil turned into a mental hard man who you didn't want to mess with (up

Oh and guess what has happened in the last two days? Yes, musical platforms at Norwood Junction, AGAIN! Yesterday, they gave us little warning. Today they gave us none. The train was pretty much in the station before it was announced as the usual train that normally comes to platform 1. Idiots!

Once again, we had to play "musical platforms" at Norwood Junction station. Joy - NOT. A train that was supposed to appear on Platform 1 decided to approach Platform 3 instead, necessating everyone running for the underpass. At least they gave us a bit of advanced warning this time, unlike last week (and before) when they announce it as the stupid Southern train is literally pulling in.

God this store is crap! It was formerly Safeways and got bought up to Morrisons before being quickly passed onto Somerfield. However, the same staff are still there. What really really annoys me is that during peak times, there are bugger-all tills open, which means huge queues. Ridiculous. In Tesco or Sainsburys, they open unused tills quickly as soon as it's apparent that there are queues

Is it me or are there more dumb, useless and plain idiotic drivers on the streets today?  Today had it all: being cut up, other drivers trying to push in front of me in a queue, driving up my arse, slow drivers, etc. I HATE IT!  Next time someone tries any of that again, they'll be sorry!

So... hmmm... what did I say nearly two years ago, eh? McClaren - shite. This is typical of England, we had a chance of getting one of the world's best managers (Scolari) and the stupid idiotic press shoot him down because he ain't "English". Yeah, of course he ain't English, cos the other English managers are utterly crap. We then go for someone who is completely unproven (and is STILL

Finally I've moved from the Penge area back into South Norwood, thank God. Penge (and the adjoining Anerley) are both really a black hole in the brightness that is the South East of London. While it's not exactly Brixton or Thornton Heath in general shittyness, it isn't far off. With chavvy teenagers racing their cars down the streets, idiot kids (who should be doing their homework) roaming

For anyone who lives in the Greater London area, they probably already know that Thames Water are complete twats. For anyone else who doesn't live in the Greater London area, read on. They are seriously a joke. Everytime you phone them, the idiots on the end of the phone won't do anything about your water if your neighbours aren't suffering the same thing. Idiots! I don't want to be told

There's a thing that happens all the time and really pisses me off, double-parking. It's when someone parks in front of a car so that the owner of other car can't get his car out if he or she wanted to. It annoys me. Annoys me a LOT. I see it when selfish twats can't just park in a normal parking space and must have the nearest space, even if it means parking in front of your car in the

Another thing that irritates me is tossers who insist on using high beam on their cars at night... in an area which clearly doesn't need high beams (most of the country). Idiots! I can see you perfectly well, I don't need people like you to dazzle me from behind! What I want to get is a dot-matrix display for the back window, so that when I'm confronted by idiots like that, I can type in a

I really really hate people who can't park their cars properly. I bet you must've come across a twat who parks so close to the lines, you can't reasonably park your car centrally enough to be able to get out without smacking the other person's car next to you. The worst I saw was a van which was parked over two spaces, the selfish idiot! This is why I should carry around a pad of A4 paper with

OK, here's No.4: 4. Robbie Savage - serial whinger and idiot who thinks he's better than other world-class players. Such as Paolo Maldini. He needs a very big slap for disrespecting the God of Italian football. Twat!

Typical London trains, the moment there's a slight change in weather, everything grinds to a halt! I should'be know, the BBC news this morning said that there were problems in Norwood Junction (which isn't even on my way to work), which is an euphemism for problems in the entire South East area. I was on my usual train this morning, the 9:06 (which was late, as usual, by a few minutes) and

I mentioned before that I now have a super-fast VW Golf 1.8Turbo GTI (although now I wish I had a V5 Golf instead). But I can't use the full power of it cos of the scourge of the modern car... speed cameras. In London there seems to be speed cameras EVERYWHERE! It pisses me off because I can't drive without having to use the brake to slow right down. Damn things, I have all this power and I

I recently swopped my Mini Thirty Limited Edition for a nice VW Golf 1.8Turbo GTI. Aaaaah, the power! The speed. The driving experience... is crap! Not thanks to the car, but thanks to the shitty crap drivers that infest the roads of South London. Useless! I can't even try to get up to a decent speed without some idiot pulling out in front of me from some side-road. Didn't these twats

There are certian "celebrities" or "famous people" who I really hate. They get on my wick and cause me to want to kick them senseless if I ever met them. Below is a list of the people who I really really hate, the most hated starts at the top.Roy Keane - This fool thinks he's hard and is better than everyone else. I for one would personally seek him out and kick him when he's down. He's a twat, a

Have you ever tried to get a train in London? The moment there's a slight change of the weather, the trains have faults, signalling problems, etc. Just came from Charing Cross, full of signalling failures (what a surprise), just as it started to rain too. Stupid!

Dunno about you but a pet hate I have in London is people who get in my way. I hate the slow idiots who hog the whole pavement and just stand there while there are clearly people behind them trying to get past. Oxford Street is the best example of this, where it's almost impossible to walk in a straight line for more than a few feet without having to change your course cos of some fucker in front

When it comes to supermarkets, Morrisons is complete crap. Northerners may not agree, but the facts are that Tesco, Sainsbury's, hell, even tossing ASDA are better supermarkets than it. More choice, nicer stores and frankly better logo. Lets face it, where in Morrisons can you go in and get a wide range of goods? Cheap you say? Well, you get what you paid for. I'd rather go and get

That Ken Livinstone has a lot to answer for! OK, he brought in nice buses, but he's going to raise ticket prices... again! What an idiot, he can't even get his sums right for the Congestion Charge so he's punishing us Londonders who work in the capital by hiking prices. Well, I was already getting a weekly train ticket, as opposed to a Travelcard, as a temporary measure to save me £50 a month,
