Following a very colourful life as BBC puts it, George Michael was sentenced recently to 8 weeks in prison and a 5 year driving ban for crashing his car under the influence of canabis. Do you think George is heading down the same route as the other George (Boy George) who was sentenced to prison not so long ago?

James Corden dismissed any rumours that he could be the new judge on Britan’s Got Talent replacing Piers Morgan. But would he not make in fact a better judge than Piers?

This weekend I had tickets to go to Upton Park to see West Ham Utd play (football) against Chelsea. For the sake of my personal security I’m not going to disclose here which team I was rooting for though as my point is not about football but rather getting there.
I had to leave from Central London and I would have normally jumped on Jubilee line from Green Park all the way to Westminster and then change onto District Line from there all the way to Upton Park. Except that Jubilee was closed exactly in between Green Park and Waterloo. On top of that the District Line and Hammersmith and City lines don’t go past Whitechapel so can’t get to Upton Park that way. Fair enough I thought gonna make my way to Waterloo then pick up the Jubilee from there to west ham and then take a replacement bus to Upton Park. Well I arrive in west ham only to find out that “there are no bus replacements from this station” and it turns out the only way I can get there is go to Stratford and get a normal bus from there. If this sounds ok to you, let me point out that by doing this Stratford became a bottleneck as there is the Central line bringing people for the same game to the same station so the only 2 lines reaching East London this weekend are forced now to drop all the football fans in one single station and pray that buses can cope with that. Which they can’t! Queues are huge and buses are rare so you can imagine the sight of the bus station and frustration of the crowds!and having had the experience Millwall v West Ham last season has no one learned that it takes more than 5 dudes in fluorescent jackets to manage the crowds in that part of London? Is Tfl ever putting any thoughts in the way they shut off the lines at weekend, the way they plan their replacement buses and the number of buses they provide at weekends? Or is there just some fucking idiot that pulls numbers out of a hat randomly?

Did you make it back home ok ? How long will journey take tomorrow? Or have you got the luxury of working remotely?
