“Oh and I suppose they’re a DANGER to the little tiny fish at the bottom of the ocean, Mark. Is that it?? Are you so concerned about the little fishes??”

“It’s NOT the bottom of the bloody ocean Jeremy, it’s the tidal plateau! It’s visible at all tidal stages!!”

“Mark. I don’t see what the fuss is about. It’s an old boat, probably doesn’t even float, does it. But ohhhh it must be pro-tect-ed. What a joke.”

“Jeremy, it’s a decrepit wartime wreck filled with very dangerous munitions! high-explosive munitions, Jeremy!”

needed a new phone case and impulsively got a Mucha one because it made me think of being 10 or 12 and seeing his Seasons paintings in a book and thinking they were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen

literally shaking and on-and-off crying while forcing myself to do paperwork that’s 2 years overdue

honestly it’s impossible to describe life with this brain without sounding ludicrous or like I’m exaggerating. which is why I mostly don’t.

Snippet from Real Time Trains showing the Azuma was one minute up from Fletton Junction onwards, and arrived at Huntington 3 minutes after it was originally due to pass.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.

Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.
