Five Days Then The Weekend

I used to commute to London from Brighton in 2011.  I did that shit for almost six months, up at five every morning, shower, change etc then a drive to the station, and on the 6:15 to ‘Victoria’.  The first week I was excited, like a kid going to sleep before a trip to “Alton Towers”.  Then after a week or so the whole event became a fucking great deluge on my morning mood. I loathed that journey, and this morning I was reminded as I drove my ‘GF’ to the station.  Today is a Monday, and I wonder how many more people cram themselves onto the late train and then the tube wishing they could just walk away from their lives….?

“JUST KILL ME GOD, IF YOUR UP THERE?  I CAN’T TAKE THIS MONUMENTAL CATTLE HERD-ZOMBIE WALK.”

Why am I talking about this bullshit?  Because last night I watched a TV show on BBC 3 (UK) called ‘The Revolution Will Be Televised’. The first episode of the second series, and  a generally hilarious swipe at authority, power and culture, whilst at the same time underpinning many issues bugging the British tax payer.   ‘Jolyon Rubinstein’ and ‘Heydon Prowse’ don ridiculous outfits and inhabit numerous characters.  “MP’s” a “Nike Re-branding Team” and “Hitler”!  I laughed out loud at many points throughout the show, particularly at a section where they block the entrance to the Network Rail Offices because of “Vital refurbishment and maintenance”.  It brought to mind all the times I was late because of the fucking train companies.  I have posted a clip at the bottom from the last series and a link to last nights show.
