  4. He's really the managing director in disguise. He afraid, be very
    afraid. [1]

    [1] guess who's just spent 4 hours of his day in a workshop with RMT and
    ASLEF reps!

  7. Like I'm telling you that - do I look stupid? [1] No way are you
    getting the chance for informal feedback.

    The aslef chap was more amenable than the RMT ones but it was
    interesting to note how long it was before the utterly predictable
    remarks emerged. I think we made it into minutes rather than seconds
    ;-)

    Still it was interesting to hear what was winding them up and a fair
    proportion of what they said was perfectly valid. I doubt they liked
    much of what we [2] had to say.

    [1] people who've met me can shut up right now.
    [2] the evil management representatives

    I take it the drugs test isn't going to be a problem? Avoid going on
    the piss as well.

    The shed's been remodelled for the new stock so isn't quite as dank as
    it used to be:

    Sort of. I'm a driver at Brighton but do other stuff so don't drive as
    much as others.

    Here's who to look out for:

    That picture's from July 2005 (the last summer of the '63 stock)

    I've now gone for a bizarre BNP-esque look. Disorientatingly normal.

    '63? I thought you were younger than that.

    Scared now. You could do a floppy-haired Mandelson look...

  12. I sort of had that reaction but then every single photo I have ever seen
    of Simon is different to any previous one. I am beginning to wonder if
    there is more than one of him.

    He's always looked pretty similar when I've seen him. Not since he grew
    his barnet, mind.

  15. I seem to be almost entirely tea-total at the moment :/
    It seemed pretty good when I was wandering about trying to find the
    people who were to interview me...
    You do look a little different from when I saw you at EoSM, though I
    don't think any of these 'self portrait' type photos work very well.
