Bob Crow Fan Club

Bob, in the highly unlikely event you’re reading this: you are an insufferable, whinging, reactionary cretin.

So it looks like there is yet another tube strike on the cards. (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7354470.stm) All of life’s ills can be resolved by striking, according to Bob’s blinkered logic. “The RMT executive was left with no choice but to set strike dates” apparently.

Just you wait until the Olympic games are here – he’ll hold the city’s transport to ransom in exchange for a 500% pay rise, citing some tenuous grievance barely worth mentioning. He may be trying to drum up sympathy for his hard done by workforce, but this is hard for the average person to do when tube drivers earn £30k for doing pretty much fuck all, let’s be honest. What he’s actually doing is making himself the most hated man in London.

Bizarre Canning Town Tube Station Tannoy Anouncement: Sex Toys

Louise rang me this afternoon in a fit of giggles. She had been standing on the eastbound DLR platform at Canning Town station, when an announcement over the tannoy started playing what apparently sounded like an American-style infomercial selling a sex toy! Given it was the middle of the day I don’t imagine there were many people around to have heard it, but it still sounds a cracking prank. Wonder if it’ll be in any of the papers tomorrow?
