FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT THIS IS *NOT* ME. (Though, I would like to know who it is because this one made me laugh).

Well it's gone bust once already, so how many times can an entity implode yet be the same thing?. Rochester, NY, where I once lived, was a boom town until Kodak and Xerox buggered it all up by failing.

Today is somehow going to involve five taxis and a hovercraft. All between now and 7 pm. And several business meetings - it's like back in pre-plague times 😂.

Do I watch The Hundred in the hotel bar or decamp to the restaurant where I can't see it?. This is a surprisingly non-vexing question :-).

Well the tweet about corporations existing by prescription has undoubtedly surpassed the onion tweet in popularity now. Which is a pity, I liked the onion tweet.

This warning sign is amusing because of the practical impossibility of what it warns about actuslly happening!

Not always a guided tour fan, but the opportunity for basically a personal tour because no one else seems to want to book one, well, I'll be taking that :-).

Alternative dinner is alternative, chicken and apricot terrine is now on the "never again what were you thinking" list.

Yes, I'll echo this becuase, despite having criticised the police earlier, credit where it is due is always appropriate!.
The police get a lot of criticism. But they’ve done an excellent job today. It’s clear those breaking the law thought their numbers would make them immune from arrest. And they were wrong.

Tell me, railway defenders, why do you defend such an useless network?.
Missed dinner (which frankly was mostly my fault), now because this train is for entirely unexplained reasons running nearly 30 minutes late revised dinner has gone out of the window too. Hoping instead the hotel bar serves something vaguely edible.

Americans have been sorted out btw, they got a train back to Waterloo from Woking (the delays to us made that a very obvious option). But now, some time later, we're stopped again in the middle of nowhere. Chance of making revised dinner reservation now dropping :-(.

Never did I think that the existence of an handful of bodies corporate by prescription in England would be so wildly popular. (I actually debated making Prerogativa Regis, the temp. incert. law the main one and that the subsidiary. Glad I didn't!).

GDPR isn't a police matter (well this bit isn't!), so why are they falsely trying to enforce it?.
Met a constituent yesterday plagued by shoplifters. He gives police CCTV, card details, licence plates. No action apart from a visit to say he must take down pics of thieves “because of GDPR”. Our system should crush the lawless & protect the law-abiding. It does the opposite.

Now trying to help a bunch of Americans who are almost certainly on a surprise trip to Portsmouth. Lies have serious consequences, people. Resist the urge to lie. (incidentally we haven't left yet, for no announced reason, but the doors are shut. Which isn't helping matters).
Was just lied to by a member of railway staff. Luckily, I knew I was correct, and which train to get on. Didn't fancy going to Weymouth. What possessed him to tell a dirty, stinky, lie?.

(yes I'm running quite late, blame our useless railways which never miss an opportunity be late - and also a rare error by me in heading to Bank, not that that cost much!).
