Some rail stats... and 'smore

This from a news article on the 'buried by Jo Moore' tranport report:

The April-June 2001 period is significant because it will be the benchmark for judging whether the railways have improved, as it covers last year's general election and the appointment of Mr Byers as Transport Secretary.

The figures show that during the second quarter, July to September last year, overall performance was 79 per cent. This compared with 80.9 per cent in April to June.

There was an improvement in the performance of long-distance services - up from 65.8 per cent to 70.7 per cent. However, the peak performance of London and South East was down from 79.4 per cent to 77.5 per cent. The performance of regional and other operators was down from 81.6 per cent to 79.7 per cent.

Actually, think you'll find that the Tory policy on Asylum is that asylum seekers, when they're not frauds, are terrorists, and that the system of asylum needs to be shut down as part of TWAT....

Reading through an entire novel without being quite sure how to pronounce a principle character's name. "Phnepernack? Ferneparatch? Phnoomi.... arrghh!" It's like taking a stroll up the road when you're not quite sure what to do with your feet at every fifth step. If a writer can't stick to f..king Dave and Susan they should provide a f..king pronunciation guide at the front of the book, in fact I'll be making a law to that effect when I come to power. Foreign names are particularly frustrating because you know you can't blame the author and you feel you ought to know - ie not only are you uncomfortable but you're naughty as well.

So, how do you pronounce Ijon Tichy? Ee-john? Eye-john? Eye-on? Titchy? Ticky? Tie-key? It's from a book by a Polish author, if that's any help.

Fly, Do Not Move To Brighton Hoping To Commute.

I'd hate to see a grown man cry.

I do know people who do it and don't hate it, but only really in jobs where they have a reasonable amount of flexibility about working hours... *then*, it's doable.

the other ones are all looking for jobs here or flats in london.

12:44 / 29.01.03

Don't do it Flyboy! I did it for five months and it's truly horrible. And I had a flexible job. Either get a job there or stay put, I'd say.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get angry about anything these days. Maybe I should hate the fact that I've turned into a fluffy hippie so damn quickly.

15:11 / 29.01.03

I hate hippies.

15:52 / 29.01.03

Your problem, sfd, is you've spent too long living somewhere nice doing things you like. No good will come of it.

Just thought of some more, rather pathetic ones, which I list here so I won't forget 'em. I can come back in a few weeks time and get annoyed all over again:

-"The Moral Maze" on Radio 4. It eats souls.
- Instrumental singles/EPs with no f..king RPM instruction on the label (Dozy hippy arse: "urhhhh, play it whatever speed you like, man....")
- Tracks or Albums without titles
- Paintings called 'Untitled no. 5'
- Band names with deliberate syntax errors - 'The For Carnation' being the prime bastard for that.
- Use of symbols/punctuation in band names. This is also like someone connecting a vacuum pump to your gob.
- Book titles starting with 'And' or 'Or' or anything like that. I've no problem with sentences in the middle of paragraphs starting with 'And', that's fine. Books, no. No!
- Use of the word 'challenging' in any art review
- Use of "subverts our..." in a review
- Use of "and forces us to question our..." in a review
- The phrase "works on so many levels."
(I know it's bad to dispel use of words out of hand but this is illogical, untamed hate we're talking about here. This is my lizard brain speaking).
- Critics who say of a book or film "It couldn't make up it's mind if it wanted to be an X or a Y". Usually the same Brian Cants who moan about "tired formulas".
- Critics who say "why listen to X when you can listen to Y?" Because I can appreciate that the tiniest difference can make for a whole different aesthetic experience, you cloth-eared cock!

Continuing with Saveloy's train of thought:

I absolutely hate the overusage of the phrase "a return to form" in reviews, I hate it so much that I named my blog after it.

I hate when record/cd sleeves do not list the song titles on the outside of the packaging, so that people looking at the record in the shop have to guess if the song they are looking for is on the album or not. Just as worse is listing the titles, but not the proper order in which they appear on the album. Yeah, I'm talking about YOU, GZA!

I hate it when good songs which really ought to be hit singles are passed over by a record label, and weaker songs are chosen as singles instead, and the record flops because the label had no idea how to pick a decent single. The world suffers in minor ways because of this phenomenon, I tell you.

Saveloy, Runce: worry not.

I fucking hate everyone again.

Fear not, I'd sooner move to Slough hoping to become a world-famous gymnast.

FUCK OFF, SNOW! FUCK OFF NOW!

If the trains are screwed tonight, forget hate and anger, I'll cry my eyes out. And then I'll have to start a thread for unchecked tears and wringing of Runce-hands.

16:01 / 30.01.03

Those moments when you're suddenly overcome by the feeling that you should be worried about something, but you're not quite sure what. It starts off as a jolt but quickly fades: "Shit! I forgot to... er, um.." You're left with a feeling of anxiety which can hang around in the background for days on end. A bit like having something incomprehensible but aggressive-sounding shouted at you in the street by a stranger in the crowd, who you never get to see. I bloody hate that.

Also -

Daily Mail types who go on about the sanctity of the law and bitch about the fact that you can't shoot a man in your own home anymore, who then whinge like buggery when they get done for speeding, and say "no wonder there's so much burglary when the police are wasting their time with things like this!"

16:19 / 30.01.03

Dogshit in the grass. Particularly cold, dry dogshit in the grass.

18:47 / 30.01.03

Reading the news:

"Also Thursday, Bush directed up to $15 million to be available to deal with the refugee crisis that any military action may produce. "Such an emergency may arise if it becomes necessary for the United States and other nations to use military force to disarm the Iraqi regime of its weapons of mass destruction," Bush said in a memo to Powell"

Fifteen-FUCKING-million? Gee, thanks! That'll REALLY help! How much does a cruise missile cost? How many are they planning to drop on Bagdhad on the first day? 800 was it? AAAARRRGGGHH

me. after a pleasant evening at a friends house, walked home (about an 1hr walk) looked for my keys, only to discover I'd left my keys at their house. this house in fact. (ie from whence i'm now posting)

So stood out my house in the freezing cold, cursing myself.

Gah. so I had to knock up a friend at half one in the morning and then plod back here to get them today. gah. and have a million thing to do today.

I hate ME.

13:56 / 04.02.03

Yeah, me too. I'm pigging sick of myself and my life and my fucking apathy and inability to truly communicate or sympathise with another human soul and the fact that I still feel like I'm not quite human myself, but not not-human in a cool Culture mind or drone or sentient bitek way or whatever, but not human in a really crap limited shallow Bender the Robot way. This fucking life makes me sick, sometimes there is just no beauty in it at all. And pretty much the only thing stopping me from downing a bottle of pills is that I can't leave the house because I'm too fucking fat. Jesus.

Regrettable Juvenilia

14:59 / 04.02.03

Argh!

The fact that people like Cholister feel this bad when all the people who *actually* need to be smacking themselves in the head and muttering "I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot!" are carrying on regardless, blithering on, writing bestselling comics for Marvel...

Gah!

15:03 / 04.02.03

Aww...thanks, Flyboy.

(sorry Runce - back to bitching and sniping now, I promise)

23:22 / 04.02.03

Gah.

Mine was a pretty small thing of hating the fact that I'm such a moron. And was me taking the piss out of my own self-hatred stuff. Sorry.

Not meaning to take the piss at all. My stuff really isn't that difficult to deal with. Or wouldn't be, were I not such a MORON.

The million things, involving responsibilities and producutive stuff and good tings? Nahhh, of course not.

But did other stuff, which for me, was quite productive, although it involved a lot less activity....

i mean jesus, who produced that thing, it's a fucking disgrace.

Not to ruin the run of the thread, but I fucking love SHUT UP, SCOTTISH as a user name.

My feebleness.

Ie, that after missing a couple of weeks of trapeze and still being a bit ill and tired (and having had 5 hrs sleep) I'm for some reason unable to miraculously pick up where I left off but have to go back to being crap and useless for a few weeks.

Perfectly logical but I hates it nonetheless, its so fucking frustrating. Not to mention tedious.

The Natural Way

12:18 / 06.02.03

Yeah, Duncan, but you don't know SHUT UP, SCOTTISH IRL - I do, and I'm telling you he's a piece of wanker scum.

12:48 / 06.02.03

Aye, lay off wee Sandi. I like her fine. The smallest Dane in history.

That Jeremy Clarkson though. Abomination. Ex-ter-mi-nate!

19:38 / 06.02.03

Grrr. Just got sent home from work because ripped pants aren't "business casual." I know, it's my fault, but I've been wearing them for 2 months with no comment before, so grrrrr...

And I hate the phrase "business casual". I work in the goddamn magazine department of a big-box bookstore. No one cares if there's a hole in my knee.

Ah well, time to get the subway back.

19:50 / 06.02.03

Sorry, Barry, but 'business casual' has got to be the funniest thing I've heard all year! And sorry to everyone else for being in far too good a mood for this thread. Again.

Gareth Gates' cover of Spirit In The Sky. I don't care if it's for charidee. When I heard what he'd done to it, I wanted to shoot him, his associates, the associates of his associates, and anyone who the associates of his associates had merely said 'Hi' to.

07:24 / 11.02.03

I'm so goddamn tired all the time. All the time. And yet unless I get myself suitably drugged up with benzodiazapines it takes me hours of tossing and turning to fucking sleep, and I still sleep badly and wake up for another day of being so goddamn tired all the time.
