Tube crash, on a day when Lisa would often be using Chancery Lane station on her way to or from work (and involving the carriages she would normally use). In fact we were at home, and the first we heard of it was when my sister Sarah texted me to see if we were involved. I don't worry overmuch about safety on the Tube, although that will change if and when it falls into private hands.
A group of us from the Hounslow Lib Dems are going to the Stop the War demo on the 15th of Feb. I put out a call for anyone interested to give me their names and I've already got twice as many people as I expected.
Got a cheque for the taxman drawn from my savings this lunchtime... it hurt. With the cost of the Spitfire MOT and with paying for my parents to go to Malta for their Golden Wedding anniversary in March, I'm just about cleaned out.
Still feeling a bit down because of ![[info]](http://piktures.deadjournal.com/userinfo.gif) stalkerofursoul's post here. Or, to be more accurate, the conversation in the replies to the post where I get called old. I know it was all in jest but it taps into my already-existing insecurities about whether I should even be on deadjournal or whether I should have gone off and got myself a blog like all the other boring old farts who like talking about news and politics and how many hits they're getting and how to measure them. But I like DJ. It has energy and personality and the people here don't take themselves too seriously or pretend they have all the answers.
I know I don't have them. |

Don't worry, Stalker is crazy! After all, he doesn't think Andrew is a good name... how crazy is that?
Pretty damn crazy :o)
He's a good chap and I enjoy reading his journal, I've certainly not taken offence... but even thoroughly good chaps can sometimes accidentally stab deep...
Chin up there :) I think Andrew, Andy is a nice name - but that's not why I'm posting.
I think its fantastic you are paying for your parents anniversary present, what a fantastic bloke you are!!!
And good to hear that neither or you were in that tube crash :(
As for getting old - I'm kinda feeling the same way. I turn 30 soon which isn't devasting, but I keep glancing back and feeling like I've lost 10 years where I should have been doing something more productive with my life
There was a tube crash? Sheesh? Where the hell was I when this was announced????????
Glad to hear you're ok though and weren't involved.
/me thinks she needs to watch more news and read the papers a but more *sigh*
> Where the hell was I when this was announced???
Hopefully, nowhere near Chancery Lane...
There's a link to a BBC Online story in the main post.
Thanks to you and Sam for your concern... makes me feel doubly guilty that I suspect I'll not be able to make it to your party :o(
Hey don't feel guilty. We are advertising it with 6 months notice to try and give people a chance to save up. But at the same time we understand that real-life bills can be a nuisance.
I can't remember where you live, but there is the option of just staying the Saturday night if that helps. OK that sounds like I'm putting on the pressure!!! *slaps wrists!*

I did think of you when I heard the news about the Tube crash - I'm really glad to hear that you were nowhere in the vicinity.
