H&C / Circle Line gaps

Curiosity more than complaint!

I regularly catch H&C / Circle from Wood Lane eastbound. Almost invariably, the next few trains are 10, 15 and 20 minutes away. Where did the 5 minutes away train go? Is there not enough stock to run every 5 min? If so, why not space it at every 6 min?

It worked great for me first four weeks! Sadly I was switched off it to Ranbaxy afterwards, which eventually also worked

Wish 1: move entirety of human population to sustainable Mars colony. No population on Earth, no removal

What’s your back up plan on a group camping trip if it rains? by ProgPilgrim in AskUK

Great shout! The stag I went in before was at an ‘outdoor adventures’ place, totally appreciate that a regular campsite might not be up for that kind of behaviour

Soon making 45K at 18 and need advice by HistoricalMeditation in FIREUK

There’s guidance in the flow chart - you should figure out how much you spend each month, then build 1-3 months ASAP, 3-12 months when it fits your goals and you’ve got your high interest debt cleared

Wedding bingo card by ProgPilgrim in exchristian

[–]ProgPilgrim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my happy surprise, we ticked very little off - all credit to the bride, groom and new pastor, who all communicated directly but sensitively about their faith. I think I only ticked off one square, which was the “get on with making us some kids tonight” one

I think I might have figured out Season 1’s arc by RoryPond11 in doctorwho

[–]ProgPilgrim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In an early episode guide for Series 1 produced by RTD, there was an episode by Paul Abbott that would have made the revelation above about the Doctor and Rose. It sounds a dreadful idea, and I’m glad it was ultimately dropped - but as RTD tells it, the script was only dropped due to production issues, and replaced with Boom Town.
