Delayed

The concept of being trapped on a tube train for more than an hour just makes me want to heave. Not because of claustrophobia – that’s not too much of a problem for me. Not because of (most likely) having to stand for that length of time, either.
No, the problem would most likely be that I’d be certain to be stood right next to the dirty smelly fuckbag who hadn’t bothered with deodorant that morning. And then I’d simply have to kill them.
I worked out a wonderful way of improving my life when I lived near and worked in London. It was this – stop using the tube. It was fantastic. I’d get the train into the city center as usual, but instead of the horror of the tube I’d walk to the office. Took 30 to 40 minutes but by god I arrived at work a hell of a lot more relaxed and happy than if had got the hell-tube.
I know exactly how you feel. I’m living in Milan and the men here really believe that deodorant is an optional extra. I wouldn’t mind so much as they do wash regularly but they also eat a helluva lot of onions – onion sweat YUK
