Load of bollocks. I’m bringing the kids over on the Monday for a concert.

You’re hopeful for a terrorist attack on British soil? 




 
I never said hopeful. It’s inevitable unfortunately. 

What I’m hopeful for is that your bollock ache continues.

Still nice to know that you wasted money and your trip has gone to shit. 
“hopefully they’ll reschedule it just in time for the next terrorist attack”

you literally said hopefully, you bleeding spacker. 

I’ll still have a great time with my kids. HOPEFULLY she lets you see yours again 😉 
I said hopefully for the rescheduling, yet another liberal with a comprehension problem.

anyone with half a brain can tell the difference.

Have fun with your kids, HOPEFULLY you don’t have young kids what with all the rapists you seem so happy to have living amongst you.

Will probably be called off as the last few were.
The overground will be running regardless. 
Can't believe these overpaid cunts are still striking.

LCY is my favourite London airport. 4 stops on the train/DLR to my drum. Breeze getting airside.
Me too, its great getting off the plane and putting the key in the door in less than an hour, as long as the train from WA aint fucked

If there is anywhere available a bit nearer, it could at least make getting to and from the gig a bit simpler?
I absolutely never do this. But unfortunately I booked and paid for a non refundable hotel. I’ll just have to get a bus towards the overground and jump on that to WHL
Damn, although as GSS suggested, staying closer to Tottenham would likely be a double edged sword!

I have a couple of mates who work on the maintenance side 
One is a manger and the other a troubleshooter they have both been there years and are with add ones and overtime both on in excess of £100k a year and have a great pension pot for when they finally retire.

They tell me that despite the money the job pays TFL struggle to recruit replacements with the required skills and common sense to adequately replace long serving employees which I guess is a sad indictment on the state of the labour market today.

I have other friends working again mainly on maintenance and they too are never short of a few quid or a day off.

Public sympathy if indeed there is any will soon diminish if these strikes go ahead and disrupt peoples lives for the best part of a week.
