In January I was a total if 3 hours and 47 minutes late. Haywards Heath to Farringdon each day. I'm only entitled to make one delay repay so I'll get somewhere around £4.50 back. My train home was on time once and that was tonight. All of this and the weather has not been bad. I dread to think...

This week I'm 8 out of 10 journeys being delayed for a combined 60 minutes. Even my morning train from Haywards Heath to Farringdon, which is normally pretty reliable, has been bad this week. Anyway I've just tweeted them asking whether I can make a delay replay claim. I know what the answer...

I work for one of the large supermarkets and got taken around the till lab. Banks of self service tills all talking away. I'm sure they were having a conversation. Hell on earth.

Good point Birdman. Grape and Grain is good for a decent beer.

Wasn't there this morning but noticed that Dark Star are taking over the empty bar next to the Cafe Rouge on the Broadway. Very happy to see this. Some proper beer in HH!

Liver - I can't touch the stuff now. Mashed potatoes with the ice cream scoop. School dinners at the old St Martins in Brighton were delivered in cylindrical metal containers that must have been used to transport nuclear waste (which was much safer than that liver). I still remember being...

We can all do our bit here by taking to Twitter, Facebook etc and showing our dissatisfaction that huge global brands that the majority of us use on a daily basis are sponsors of corruption. There will be marketing teams in these businesses watching and trying to understand what their customer...

I swapped from O2 to EE earlier this year. I got very poor 3g at London Bridge and O2 doesn't do 4g on the iphone 5. With the exception of that I had very few issues with o2 over 10 years or so. Unfortunately I can't say the same for EE. I'll get to the end of my 12 months and move...

I've been to Chicago five or six times in recent years for work and it's a great city. As other have mentioned the boat tour on the river is good. But also take a walk around the loop and slightly beyond and get into some of the buildings. A colleague took me around a few of them earlier this...

There appears to be a complete and total unwillingness to change the cynical play we see day in day out and this is thing that annoys me the most. Why do we not have sin bins, why do we not have referees who are respected by the players, why do the players who call the referee sir......the list...

I'm a relative newcomer to the commuting game having only been doing Haywards Heath to London Bridge for little over two years. Due to timetable changes over those two years I get to spend an extra nine minutes a day on the trains. This equates to an additional thirty two hours a year I spend...

Most of the SNPs forecasts were done on the basis that oil would be at $100 a barrel. Brent is at $62 a barrel. As our American friends like to say "You do the math"

Where to start. I have worked with a Ben Dover, Tex Texan (yes he was from Texas), Randy Farmer and possibly the best one is a current colleague, Swallow Wang.

The primary disadvantage to Salmond & Co of having a new currency is the ability to borrow money. As part of the UK pound he would get to borrow at 2.7% for 10 years. As a new currency it could be 5% plus. If Salmond decided he doesn't want to pay to any of the UK debt the ratings agencies...

Quite partial to a bottle of Innis & Gunns Original. Very tasty.

If anyone is ever passing through Chicago I recommend DMK Burger Bar http://dmkburgerbar.com/. I was there last month and not only superb burgers but a great selection of beers. Nice of them to put the list at the top of their home page.

As a new resident to Haywards Heath does anyone recommend a Chinese restaurant/takeaway? I've tried the Canton Chef and wasn't massively impressed. Nizam is great for Indian although the service can be a little slow at times.

A friend runs a pub in town and last year they got rid of Harveys and replaced it with Dark Star because the wholesale price went up significantly. They came to the conclusion that the margins were so thin on Harveys it wasn't worth selling.

I seem to remember grammar being half of one English lesson in the mid 80's at the bastion of all education establishments that was Longhill High.

Honestly i didn't even realise England where playing tonight. I'll be watching Gardeners World!
