Worst Case Train Scenario #2
17.17 Five Minutes Late
The biscuit factory smells particularly delicious this evening. That's all.
Well, that and the fact that we seem to have been given a NEW train. It's clean, the seats are fluffy, there is carpet on the walls, no disturbing stains lead to/from the WC. Add to this that it's FreshFacedConducter and all is set for a very pleasant journey home. EXCEPT I have overheard the news of the retirement of the OrganisedCommuter. No! This can't be! This is Worst CaseTrain Scenario #2. What will become of us now in the dark, cold winter evenings of cancellation ahead? Who will we look to to lead us, and galvanise our small, disparate band to action? We will be like The Fellowship following Gandalf's fall in Moria. Only less competent with swords and one of us is a Girl.
Who else will have the taxi firm's number programmed into their mobile?
While I consider the worst - a random selection:
Yes - McAlmont & Butler
My Old Raincoat - E
A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins
Someday - The Strokes
Sticks and Stones - The Divine Comedy
The Space Race Is Over - Billy Bragg
My Descent Into Madness - Eels
Lydia - Dean Friedman
