As hundreds of workers hurry past on way to work/home, Boots poster asks "Is quitting one of your goals for 2012? - Quit Here!"
London Underground District Line delayed. Chiswick Park Stn closed. Traffic into Hammersmith horrendous. Happy New Year! #tube
Right. That's enough work for this year. Luscious fish pie for lunch, along with a dozen of London's best mince pies for later! @KC_CakeHQ
Don't know why people criticise #Heathrow airport. Terminal 3 arrivals gate to Piccadilly Line train took only 20 minutes.
District line less busy than usual without all those public sector workers and their students. Still standing room only tho' #londonstrike
Wife booked return flight to France yesterday. Tax and "fuel surcharge" were 300% of the ticket price!
Amusing joke on BBCR4 Today this morning - Who's the biggest threat to Obama's reelection in 2012? A: Angela Merkel.
London Underground strangely empty this morning. Wonder where everyone is? What's keeping them away?
Capitalism is a system in which man exploits man. Communism is the other way around.
Just experienced a power failure in the building in which I'm working. Two thousand people lost everything they were working on!
Home in the dark this evening for the first time this season. :-(
Severe delays are occurring to the text messaging system that London Underground uses to warn passengers of severe delays! #tube
Problems on District Line for 2nd day in a row. Yesterday train took 70 min to travel 10 miles and 2 people fainted. What next? #tube
From a purely personal perspective 2011 is turning out to be the Year of the Dentist :-(
So... Do you suppose anyone's working overtime at #UBS this weekend? #Adoboli
Wow. Great sounds during interval of #turnofthescrew. Cutlery and glass clinking, sheep bleating, aircraft, laughter. It's like being there!
We're on the Eurostar travelling to Paris with two "train managers" both named Pascal. I fear it's the start of a French farce.
Yesterday I paid Apple £21 to upgrade my MacBook Pro to OS X Lion, and I immediately had to pay Microsoft £110 to upgrade to Office 2011!
Good news @flybmi flying to Nice from LHR once again. Competition for BA. Xmas comparison for 3: £323.97 versus £499.00 on @British_Airways
#Google search page logo is very cool this morning: a beautiful moving mobile by Alexander Calder complete with it's shadow.
Last month I met someone who had 172,000 messages in her email inbox. She hadn't filed or deleted anything in close to 20 years!
What's with the nostalgia for poor quality images in iPhone/iPad apps. Why would I want my HD photos to look like they were taken in 1957?
Leaving Washington DC. Yesterday was hottest day in June for 137 years. Temp was 102 degrees F. Eggs were frying all by themselves.
Arrived at Chicago O'Hare. Had to get off aircraft only to get back on same plane for journey to Washington!
Have really enjoyed the week in Vancouver, but it does feel like the far edge of the world. Everyone I know is in a more advanced time zone.
Now back on Canadian soil for first time in 11 years, and the sun is shining on a beautiful Vancouver.
1st BBC Prom to sell out was Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra with Gustavo Dudamel performing Mahler Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' on Aug 5.

London is gorgeous today. Lovely weather 25C and half the city on holiday. Even seats on trains! Hopefully rest of April will be like this.
This morning I passed my dentist's receptionist on her way to work. My teeth immediately began to hurt. Positively Pavlovian!
I hear more people speaking French in London than I ever heard in Toronto or Calgary.
Has anyone managed to get the @ExactTarget iPhone app to work? I get obscure error msg: "parameter must not be null" @ExactTargetUK
#FT on Libya: "Officials are sweeping the airport for all British nationals still left in the country" - Hope they have sturdy brooms!
Watched The Browning Version. Struck by Albert Finney's resemblance to Conrad Black. Hope Finney gets role in the inevitable movie to come.
