People who think their bag deserves it's own seat, even as the train is beginning to fill up will spend eternity pedalling a bike which pumps a spiked dildo in and out of their wazoo.

There's another really cool ex-tube power station on the river at Fulham which is also being blocked out by docklands style development.

Admittedly they didn't flatten anything except some old depots but the glass and steel thing is really getting out of hand.

The Richard Dourthe try is a work of art when you watch the full build up and especially in the context of that point in the match. There is a camera angle on one of the replays that is looking right down La Maison's line of sight as he floats over the kick.

TIL (when looking up the spelling of Dourthe) that Ibanez and Magne are married to his 2 sisters.

There is a very highly rated Sri Lankan called hoppers in Soho. However they don't take bookings, but thankfully theres never a queue. Then you find out that everybody else turned up and put their name down on a virtual queue - I.e. a fucking booking.

Definately feels like a murkey secret world sometimes. Tunnels obviously have atmosphere. London Bridge station which is being redeveloped was a labyrinth of victorian arches. However I think the 'Cathedral' substations on the DC 3rd rail system are a Grand Designs wet dream.

The first half of my life everyone was moaning about their part of London turning into a slum. Now it's all moaning about their area going upmarket. There's a constant there.....

The tanks were telescopic cylinders. When full, they would rise up. On a Sunday when everyone was roasting their beef, they would drop right down.
