Recently found out, to my extreme displeasure, that you can no longer get a refund if you accidentally bought a train ticket for the wrong day and attempted to scan it at the barriers. I see Labour have announced that rail prices are frozen; I cannot help but feel that the two are related

Today, I was sat with three delightful young men who were sharing magic mushrooms. One of them is leaving the country tomorrow and he was so grateful to get to see a match at the CBS. When Torp scored, he started screaming THIS IS SUCH A POWERFUL MOMENT and I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE
