I agree with Jay ...

Saw this bit of graffiti on my train journey to work yesterday morning, and totally agree with the sentiments of Jay the Vandal (Though obviously don't condone him writing about it on the back of the pull down tables on the 05:33 from Manningtree).

GMail is currently down pretty much worldwide, so I'm unable to send or receive e-mail - which is part of the reason I'm Jay like .. Also I'm tired, and I have a lot on at work which is keeping me busy and Jay like.

I do wonder what is causing Jay's mood .. Me? Any of these will do it ...:

  • People walking slowly on the pavement
  • People having a conversation in the middle of the pavement
  • People going either up or down the escalators at Liverpool St, then stopping dead when they reach the top of bottom as if they've never seen a station or the outside world before.
  • Those suitcases that are pulled behind you. People pull them along, but have no awareness of those behind them and the carnage the suitcase on wheels is causing
  • Sweetcorn
  • People on the train who sit in the aisle seat, but leave the window seat empty. Why not sit in the window seat first of all, then you won't have to get up and block the aisle so someone else can sit down?
  • People who put a suitcase or bag on a seat on the train. Has your bag or suitcase paid for that seat? No? Then put it either in the luggage rack or somewhere else.
  • Umbrellas ...
  • Car drivers that don't indicate at roundabouts, so you have to guess if they're going to run you over.
  • US TV schedules. If you're showing a season of something, don't suddenly stop for 2 weeks ...
  • Reality TV shows
  • Reality TV shows with celebrities. I don't need to see Richard Blackwood have an enema thank you very much - and it's the same Z-listers on every show.

There is more, but I can't be bothered ... And don't start me on cyclists that don't observe the highway code, or allow their children to ride bikes on the road without protective headgear.

Still, 13 weeks until holiday ...
