The nights before I had to travel to London I never slept, worring about getting on the wrong tube. The first thing I did when I got home was shower the grime off. Bad memories.

Grumpy old man syndrome clearly kicked in along with a touch too much sherbet.<BR/>Thanks for forgiveness and for accepting that apparently every quarter of a century I have an uncontrolled urge to make a spectacle of myself ( or should that be glass).<BR/>As for stupid, seem to recall Nancy Sinatra had a hit many years back with that word in the title, but can't think of calling you that so long ago. Couldn't be further from the mark.<BR/>What on earth was the context that made the insult stick in your memory for so long?<BR/>Scotty xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988897878875491148.post-41805512294524342332008-05-23T17:33:00.000+02:002008-05-23T17:33:00.000+02:00I stand corrected Cimon.Maggie May...she seems to ...I stand corrected Cimon.<BR/><BR/>Maggie May...she seems to have fallen in love with a fluffy dalmation dog (toy) I bought as a consolation. <BR/><BR/>Scotty, what a hoot you are. This is not the first time you have called me stupid; circa 1985 if my memory serves me correct. I forgave you then, I forgive you now. And now if you'll forgive me, I have to go and listen to Donald Where's Yer Troosers!<BR/>XParisgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541058433269818013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988897878875491148.post-70356781955732675702008-05-23T01:54:00.000+02:002008-05-23T01:54:00.000+02:00It is impossible to find yourself going the wrong ...It is impossible to find yourself going the wrong way round the London Underground. One stop would show you if you had been stupid enough to get on the wrong train. The stops are clearly displayed above every seat.<BR/>Certainly been out of London too long.<BR/>The network is crap, but the tube map is a design classic as all the world should accept.<BR/>I'll be eternally grateful to the staff at end-of-the-line Wimbledon for saving my briefcase, making me up a bed by an overnight fire and always ensuring I had a wake-up call in time for the first edition .<BR/>If only I could have found such an understanding wife. <BR/>By the way, what in either English or French does the reference to the word "glasses" mean in respect of La Fille's eyesight. Could the Paris lady possibly have forgotten the English word spectacles?<BR/>Bit like listening to the radio instead of the good old wireless.<BR/>Kind regardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988897878875491148.post-13616307917100215342008-05-22T22:16:00.000+02:002008-05-22T22:16:00.000+02:00I don't know how people find their way around on t...I don't know how people find their way around on the underground!<BR/>No one seems to help you when you really need it in London.<BR/>has La Fille got over the lost toys now?Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988897878875491148.post-60267724645631073552008-05-22T21:49:00.000+02:002008-05-22T21:49:00.000+02:00Lines 7 and 13 actually fork, so you need to check...Lines 7 and 13 actually fork, so you need to check whether you are going to Asnières or Saint-Denis ;-)<BR/><BR/>And things get worse with the RER (which always arrives from the right as it is considered as a train, so train rules apply).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
