I have to drive from north London to Bagshot in Surrey on Wednesday, leaving at about 6pm. How long

[Monty91]

is this likely to take in rush hour?

[Pokster]

that will tell you :rolleyes:

[Ashberto]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

2 hours.

[Monty91]

[Monty91]

I have heard appalling things.

[Peter]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The section between the M1 and the M3 is always f**ked in both directions.

[Monty91]

WE ARE THIRD!!!!!!111111!!!!!

I just don't get you socialists. You have the option of autonomy, being in your own space, deciding your own destiny, but you prefer to be a good little drone and get on the train at a time decided for you, taking a route prescribed for you, being driven by a :shudder: union member, in company with a loads of farting drones.

The whole thing seems bizarre.

[Monty91]

Two hours from south London to outer South London :hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

[Ashberto]

Let the train take the strain imo.

[Classic Jorge]

Waterloo?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Nicosia Gooner]

That is my regular drive to Arsenal

There is a slightly faster route that takes you past Acton Town Station though and short part of the North Circular to the Chiwick roundabout and then M4

I park near Caledonia Road

[redgunamo]

Oh, you mean your journey :homer:

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

in her 88yr old glory

I don't think we've seen one quite like that from him before. And with his chocolate leg, too.

He's adding variety to his arresting physique and impossibly beautiful face :yikes:

[Monty91]

[PSRB]

just watch out for the dickheads that suddenly jam on the anchors to queue jump back onto the M25

[Nicosia Gooner]

Like driving through places such as Regent Park etc.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

"He's adding variety"

[redgunamo]

Shinned it.

[Luis Anaconda]

useless French c**t

[Monty91]

Frisbees can do a surprising amount of damage to a windscreen :-(

[Nicosia Gooner]

[Snin]

takes into account traffic n that ..id do junc 13 m25 and A30

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

That ******* cannot put away a diving head from 4 yards either

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Left, right, head.

Adding variety as big nose says. With insight like that I really wish I had seen his Twitter showdown with that other lad.

[redgunamo]

Diving headers were worth double, back in my day :-(

[Berni]

through the M1-M3 section of the M25. It was very relaxing, I did some work on the train there and had a doze on the train back. It also gave me the opportunity to use the Waterloo and City Line, which is a weird and retro experience.

Plus, the M25 was totally f**ked that evening, so I'd have been sat in that for about 3 hours. All in all, it's made me think.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Drone.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

So much easier over here.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

up with furriners.

You've got plenty of space there, may we ship you a few ne'er do wells?

[Berni]

overrated. The autonomy of stillness, if you will, which sounds a bit like a Brian Eno album.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

The odd thing is, I might have felt the same as you if I still smoked.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You have the Belfast Road, the Galway Road and the Cork road among others.

Then when you get to these places you have the Dublin Road, though one should not think these are all the same Dublin Road.

Oh no.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How are things at the tractor factory, comrade?

[Berni]

in order to feed it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The Comrade Doctors have told us so we must follow their teachings.

[Berni]

subject you to their will?

[redgunamo]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If I wanted to, I would.

You're happy to go through life having your decisions made for you by the state, or the train driver, or the Commissar, and that's fine, as long as you're happy. Just don't try to draw me into your post-nu-labour Marxist dictatorship of the proletariat. I simply will not join.

[Berni]

You do realise that, by attempting to make it one, you are falling into exactly the same pattern of politicising every action and behaviour so beloved of Marxists, don't you?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm leaving you alone to oppress the middle classes and try to make the whole world grey and miserable and dulled down. Can you not leave me alone to be an individual? I won't interfere with the Glorious People's Republik of Dystopia you're building, for I shall be dead soon.

Just leave me alone to play chess under this chestnut tree :cry:
