My trip home
November 16th, 2005 at 10:32 pm by jamesWe got email out of the blue last night from Brent Jackson to say that, For One Night Only, he would be visiting London. So I’ve just had a great couple of hours catching up with Brent over a spot of dinner. I think last time we saw Brent we were all at uni together on the other side of the world. Now he’s in Bahrain and we’re in London and we still have a lot in common. Bahrain’s worth a look I reckon.
Now I’m jammed on a train next to a halfwit who thinks he’s entertaining the carriage with his half of a conversation with his girlfriend. He lives with his parents so this is probably the only chance he gets to have a candid conversation. Pity he’s not using it.
Opposite me is a stoned young lady who is convinced the person sitting next to her is interested in how she spent her evening. She’s so far gone she’s telling her about people she doesn’t know and reading her text messages over her shoulder. Very longsuffering neighbour. My goodness I’m grumpy 😉
