Selhurst or Brighton?

 

Are you interested in a "Proper Man's Bike"

 

Brighton depot. Got my medical at Euston on monday morning, start
training on the 4th of December.

I take it you work for Southern?

 

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!

Tier 1 or 2?

 

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:

Eek! <falls backwards off chair>

What happened to the child-molester hair?

 

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...

 

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.

 

ASLEF Episode 3: The Clones Strike (Back)

 

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

 

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.

 

Would you like me to pop around?

He looks far better IRL.
