Fuggin' glad I booked first. People keep trying to sneak into here as the rest of the train is apparently rammed.

Unfortunately next train has no first, so will have to slum it again.

Now at Stafford. Got off at platform 5 and planned ahead to go onto platform 3. Stood at platform 3 ... "Liverpool Lime Street is now on platform 5".
Got to love platform planning. I imagine it's an absolute nightmare if you're not a native English speaker. 
No more first class so got to slum it from now on.

Shite train has arrived. An hour of this packed nonsense.

I got a Virgin 1st class when I went to pick up the now Eddie Honda's 306 cab in Lincs off Ruffgeezer. Wasted though it was all you could eat and drink and I had to stay sober for the drive home. Eight or so years ago ffs. Seems like only two or three.

I get free food and drink at work, so doesn't feel that special a perk. If anything I need to exercise much better self control with these things. Sugar is my downfall and I'm addicted to the damn stuff. Its like an alcoholic working in a brewery and having as many free drinks that they want.

On the free drinks theme we had an open bar every night if we were working away on a project and there were some pretty inventive drinking games, well as far as I remember.

It probably explains why most consultants are (barely) functioning alcoholics.

Liverpool! I like Liverpool. Train late enough that I missed the next one. So might have a bit of a wander.
