There are ninety minute trains every hour, and twenty minutes of that seems to be trundling through London, so the trains aren't too bad. The roads are worse, especially going North via the Midlands and getting bottle-necked on the shithouse A34.

Can we all just take a minute to lol at RL being at work?
I think we can let him off for that. The NHS can't really stop.
I love the meltdown people have about shops opening tomorrow. Twitter is great entertainment on the 26th.
I'm getting paid for morning drinking just now.
Unless some twat actually phones up later but let's cross that bridge when I drunkenly come to it.

Oh Lewis ffs.
Oh my GodLook at these mentalists already queuing.you terrible man
Not one person appears to have tweeted that joke to him. I could be a big noise on Twitter me, and then I could challenge James Felton and 'Technically Ron' to a charity scrap and annihilate them both.
Got sent home early and asked not to get pissed til the time my shift finished in case there was a train crash.
Imagine if there was one now and he got the Christopher Jefferies treatment.
Yes, all the transport links are shite. I used to think the a34 was the moody bit but it's all a shitfest apart from the m40 in my experience. Now the arseholes have naused the m27 for 10 miles with an average speed check zone which is another kick in the bollocks.
The only decent train they have is the direct one from the harbour into gatwick airport for when I've got to travel. Otherwise the train to london is slow, the first class is wank if you want to work and it then drops you at Waterloo and who the fuck wants to be at Waterloo?
The A27 and A3 going the other way are wholly inadequate as well. I think they all like it like that though, the insular island monkey weirdos.
I was caught in a fucker of a backlog on the A3 last week.
EDIT: Actually it was the M3. Near Winchester.
I floated a meet when you were over, so thanks for letting me know.
that would be tidy.
SvN was going to stick it on his expenses as well.
It's an hour and 10 minutes from Southampton.
Reading is less than 30 mins to Waterloo on the train, I imagine that will be even quicker once the Elizabeth line opens.
Are you two near there? I thought you were in Hull.
It was Andover I was in. A place that I would have said was in Holland or Germany going on it’s name.
I'm in Portsmouth these days unfortunately. What a missed opportunity.
Where abouts? I've spent the bulk of the last 3 and a bit years living in southsea through the week.
I'm in Southsea, near Highland Road cemetery. You work on the base as well don't you?
You can have a rumble then at least.
Yeah I work on the base. I had a top gaff on south parade until recently. Will probs rent a new place in the new year. Who you working for on the base? BAE? DIO?
I work for Defence Business Services reviewing old rubbish for sensitivities before it goes out for public consumption. South Parade is a decent area. Do you drive in?
I'd walk a few times in the summer but generally yes I drive.
Are you working on the tender docs for the new facilities management gig that's on the horizon?
We don't get anything that contemporary. I'm tentatively looking at flats around Southsea as part of my 'do something in 2020' thinking and parking is the problem. You can get something reasonably decent for not ridiculous money, but you're either battling to park on the street or not at all, and I'm fucked if I'm living in Cosham.
I got a parking permit from the council and parked in the pay and display spaces opposite the pyramids. Was a piece of piss.
I was paying £800 (CT and bills on top) for a 2 bed furnished apartment, 3rd floor with massive bay windows overlooking the solent. Top gaff. It was just me in there but pals would use it at the w/e if they brought their families down.
If you're getting somewhere you want to be overlooking the common and the sea. Although depends what you can afford I s'pose.
Why don’t you live together?
I'm a twit
I support City now and I like to have posters up.
Being in for one day between Christmas and then being properly off next week is a proper pain in the hole.
Aye, I can't be arsed with today. The office will be mostly empty but that just means most of the calls will go to me.
FWIW I improved the tag on this thread.
Woke up at 9:30 so I guess I'll just skip work today.
Our last shift of the year is moved forward an hour because there is the sum of fuck all in the queue. It's a nice gesture but if I'm still in the office at 7pm, I'll be fuming.
Only two more days of freedom left
Are you a) getting married or b) getting sentenced for something?
He's going back to work.
Got 9 days off, then 4 nights, then another 6 days off
Only uses like 4 days of annual leave
I'm off until Monday. I go back to London on Thursday evening but wanted to give myself a few days to get out of the habit of eating everything in sight.
What Niko said. I never really liked it but it’s just pure hate now. Dreading the thoughts of even getting stuff ready for it tomorrow.
Fuck. This. Shite.
I hate post holidays small talk.
I just got handed an absolute monster of a brisket
First set of nights start tonight. Eek.
The new team is alright but I don't think the conversation's going to be as good. It's just something that happens when you're surrounded by women.
I need to get out of this place pronto. No wonder everyone tops themselves after Christmas.
I'm sure you're not that bad.
