"So who got caught out? Another rant at the world..."

I did.

Yes, the debacle that was the blackout struck me down with extreme vehemence and left me a gasping shell of a man watching the carnage, chaos and despair of other commuters as they were stranded in a world of madness.

My rage was only confined by the boundaries of my mortal body. If I could have flung myself in the path of a train, I would have. Except i would have just fallen down and sprained my ankle rather than hope for an end to the tragic and despicable city that is London.

I eventually got home after 11.00pm. Too tired to care or to be angry, I flopped into bed and floated into another world.

This morning I was quite calm. However, I was plunged into a black venomous anger when the tube didn't stop at my designated stop due to a "fire hazard". So I had to change and change again until I finally got to another stop and walked from there.

Why oh why are bloody ticket prices going up when the service is getting worse?


SOMEONE TELL ME.

OK, let's have a race...go!

So have I. Want me to post it for you?

Exactly. It's like an act of god. No-one is to blame, so getting out your tree is a bit extreme. Just accept that it happened with humour and move on. I have a train-travel story that makes last night pale in comparison.

I don't know. I simply don't know.

I think I must be on the verge of some type of a mid-life crisis. Even though I'm only 25...

Who are you angry at?

Hold up, pal!

First up, I wasn't like one of these gormless mong who walked around shouting "It's a terrorist threat!"

Secondly I got home well after 11.00pm - over 5 hours later on a journey that should have taken an hour.

Do you see why I'm angry?

OMG, the tubes black out for half a day and everyone panics like it's Armageddon! Obviously you'd be a bit peeved that you're gonna get home a bit later, but at the end of the day you're OK. What's the big fuss? A slight inconvenience and everyone's up in arms about it. Tutt.

Bloody? Your years have been bloody?

... and err - there was a blackout? Missed this better go find some news.
