THE ROAD IS LONG, WITH MANY A WINDING TURN....

Smithy's journey home that night............pure gold.

left digress. (cant remember doing so!)
I think I roamed the streets looking for a bus!
found bus.
though hoped on a wrong bus (or bus going the wrong way)
fell asleep on bus.
woke up on bus.
my bus was at london bridge.
great. focus glenno
got off bus.
saw 24 hour store.
bought mexican pringles.
ate em.
recognised borough markets through my partially opened eyes.
walked across river.
walked down embankment up to the strand
gave bum 20p on the embankment
got sick of pringles so tony lockett AFL style kicked my pringles tin.
chips everywhere
found another bus on strand.
confirmed bus direction and destination.
sat down knackered (not like we had been standing all day)
fell asleep again.
but little were i to know that my oyster card did not swipe properly
bus stopped by about 20 ticket inspectors.
bus stopped somewhere between knightsbrige & hammersmith
everyone off bus
show us your tickets
unvalidated oyster says the standard african ticket inspector who cant speak properly even though i am the one who is drunk/wasted/very angry
give me £20 on the spot fine.
BullSh@it
yes sorry you have to give it to me.
BullSh@it
yes you do.....
pay fine
tell inspector to stick it and get a real job
police officer pulls me aside and threatens to arrest me if i dont move along
i move along and start walking the rest of the way to hammersmith
arrive flat 6/149 hammersmith grove at some stupid hour hoping we can win by two clear goals on wednesday.
didnt bother to check time as knew that was a lost cause.
i win prize for most post codes covered on foot/by bus

by the way, what are we doing wednesday for the game?
