Off to this thing this weekend in Cornwall: http://www.rockoysterfestival.co.uk/

Hoping the traffic to Cornwall won't be mental, the weather stays dry, and there is a stall serving sausages.

The bit in bold is most hilarious. It's ALWAYS loving awful. It's bad enough when the traffic is flowing normally, that point where the dual carriageway filters down to one lane is a loving nightmare, we were sat for like 45 minutes in that last time. Pray to god no bellends in their lovely VW campers are on the way as those things break down like clockwork whenever they get a sniff of a hill.

What I'm saying is, GO EARLY AS gently caress.

If I knew what it was, I would. There's about six of us sausagemen so it all depends on who wants to go where.

Which is why you'll never see me in Bristol.

As for Birmingham, I'm at the NEC pretty often.

London shows are typically earlier in the year. I did 23 straight days at Earls Court and got told off by locals for having a regional accent.

Hoping to leave work at 1430, and head down that way from Southampton ASAP. Fingers crossed that's early enough. Also it seems School Holidays start this weekend? Which won't help.

Funny as gently caress as long as you're going the other way though.

On the bus this morning I saw some guy pick something up and stash it away and he got really antsy when he saw me looking at him, and got off on the next stop.

About 15 minutes later the driver got a call through about a missing purse.

I could have said something to him or got him to hand it in or something. Now some poor woman is missing her p-purse. :smith:

Also why the gently caress does it take >6hrs on the train from Southampton to Newquay, that's longer than driving, including all the lovely traffic.

Because the east west train lines in this country have been systematically neglected, no? They're all old holiday lines, and all redevelopment has been north south on commuting to London lines.

The service in this part of the world is utterly poo poo. The signal boxes got gutted in the 80s and 90s so there's gently caress all capacity, the track is neglected so there's speed restrictions everywhere and most of connections are non-existent. Par box was built in 1870 for fucks sale, this is not how you run a main line.

Network Rail are dropping £104m to bring it kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Design starts basically next week.

No, she left the purse behind on the bus, but I passed my number to the driver if he needs something a bit more than just 'it was probably this guy and he got on the bus here, get that cctv footage'.

It's the weekend, I should probably do something fun. Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I'm going for a 20 mile bike ride Sunday with some cycle club dorks. Them in their full lycra, helmets, and clipless pedals on their £4k bikes and me on my 'cheap' road bike in baggy shorts, no helmet and riding flat pedals. gently caress the system.
