Would I type Circle Line, when the style should be Circle line?

It’s the whole problem with War and Peace. It’s not the length, I’ve read longer, but the fact that the early chapters are all introductions to characters who one assumes are going to turn up later and your brain gets full before anything happens in the story. I’ve tried twice.

There already has been one, of a different kind, as rail revenue has risen faster than before the rail workers pay deal, so reducing the taxpayer cash needed.

For me apparently it was a bloody awful cold that was being staved off. What a waste of the time off. And I’ve got such a headache I can’t even do my tax return.

And now it’s like trying to have a conversation with your friends in a crowded bar, where the rest of the patrons have been specifically invited in by the landlord to push your friends out of the way and shout at you.

Glad to see you getting ratioed over saying these are all tube lines.

Oh blinking heck, I’ll be just getting on a plane at Johannesburg airport, otherwise, obviously.

I’d hate to feel that I couldn’t express an opinion about something, because my opinion happened to have some points aligned with people who were ‘politicising’.

I agree in general, but I also don’t like the Jaguar rebrand, not for political reasons, but because I’m a Jaguar owner and would like them to stay at least somewhat the brand I bought into.

I think it’s a bit weird to expect it. Martin Lewis followed me back and frankly, I’m confused by that.

Hopefully I’ll have something more worthwhile to say in due course.
