    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Who says that?

    And yes, it's true. I made it to Exeter.


    Ok, I needed a train from Reading to Bristol. Quick look tells me 5 mins. So I went to the platform, and there was a train already there - I assumed that was the one I needed, so on I got. It only twigged something was wrong when we went past Taunton, because I was pretty sure that Bristol was before that... turns out, the train I was on didn't even stop at Bristol, and the one I was supposed to get was right after the one I got on.

    So, it took me 1hr+ extra to get home, made it back into Bristol at about midnight and didn't get home until half past.

    Re: Rumour has it the JK Ferret went a loooong way on a train this weekend!

    My best one was running to get the metropolitan line home from liverpool street station after a night out drinking said bye to my friend hopped on and was happy it was an all stations train (which isn't always the case so I was happy)! Lured into a false sense of security I made the school boy error of thinking ahh awesome I can close my eyes and get a bit of kip before my stop. BIG MISTAKE!

    I woke up 20 stops later at the end of the line and the tube driver was poking me and said end of the line mate. Waking up disorientated I thought f*** I asked him whens the last train back so I could get back!?! He looks at me blankly and says "You were on it mate ".

    Come out of the station and there's one lonely night bus waiting there heading back in to central london. Explain my situation bus driver says hop on and he'll tell me where to get off to get next bus back towards where I live.

    Get on the bus, random 40 minute journey later (while still trying to stay awake) he gets out of his cab tells me the bus I need is down that road . I step off the bus and the bus I need literally passes me that instant . Had to PEG it down the road full pelt to catch it (good thing my asthma didn't play up).

    Manage to catch the bus then had another 40 mins back to Harrow. After getting off at Harrow realised I had another 40min walk home because nothing ran near my local station at that time. EPIC FAIL! but there was one consolation. The kebab shop was open so managed to get some chips on my way home

    Lesson learn't don't close your eyes on the tube after a few drinks
