Was Ronnie related to Jim?

Plus there's no actual LAW against carrying alcohol on the Tube per se, so British Transport Police won't be able to enforce the policy for at least a year, apparently.

Say what you like about Il Duce. But he made the trains run on time.

I'm not going to cycle from London to Hove, am I? Tit. (And yes, I know you're fishing...)

Well, they've sent me a very po-faced letter which includes the immortal phrases: "We're sorry you're unhappy with our decision to actually enforce our long-standing cycle policy" and "Staff have had difficulty walking through trains which had a negative impact on safety, security and revenue...

Sark and Herm and Alderney are in effect part of Guernsey. The Scillies are part of England.

According to the Times this morning, Nick Boles will just be an interim chief of staff for a few months. It says Boris is looking to appoint loads of his own people, including a "senior broadcaster" as press secretary. I am hereby ruling myself OUT.

London W12. And occasionally London W1. And even more occasionally everywhere else in the world. Potentially.

It's all explained on this quite astoundingly good blog London Connections: A walk along East London Line phase 2

I've just emailed an edited version of that diatribe to comments@southernrailway.com. For a laugh, I had a guess at the email address of the managing director, Chris Burchell, as well. I've just had his out-of-office auto reply. Bloody marvellous.

So after a nice couple of days watching cricket and eating curry with my brother and sister in law in Brighton, I pedalled back to the station well in time for the 1849 to Clapham Junction. Fifteen minutes early, in fact. And the train was already there. Great. Plenty of time to avoid the crush...

You join me LIVE from the County Ground, Hove. The covers are coming off and there's an inspection due at 1300. Looks like more rain on the way, though.

Bollocks on stilts. If this is what the league chairmen had agreed -- and voted on -- then one of the disgruntled "no" voters would have leaked it to the papers by now.

After swimming. It's always the left ear. I'm slightly deaf at present. What, people of NSC, can I do?
