“It’s so nice to go travelling...”


The orange line through the middle of this map represents the journey we should have taken last night; and indeed this was the route we took up to London. The red line is the route we took coming back, since the Blackwall Tunnel was closed (luckily we discovered this before departing) AND access to the A2 was closed from the Dartford Bridge. Un-fucking-believable. So our route was 48 miles to get there, and 72 to come back! England is a fuckhole.

I just went through something similar in Spain. The EU has given them lots of money to build new freeways and such. Well the one we needed wasn't open for business yet. Despite all signage to the contrary. It was loads of fun driving around at 3am lost in Spain, with a combined Spanish vocabulary of 6 words.

That's a bit round the houses, isn't it? ARSE.

'England is a fuckhole'. Now that's what I was trying to say.

So glad I don't drive! Nor do we have a car, unlike some polluting bastards around...

Yep, it's certainly a bit around the houses!

Milla: Oops, I guess I'm a polluting bastard! But, you know, I would pollute 33% less if I could use the most direct route to get home. How fucked up is that?!

At least you didn't have to fly home from Moscow via Milan like my flatmate (I only had to go via Zurich, yesssss)

Ah, but you got to drive through Puss country - lovely Kent, the fuckhole's garden.

Odat: Oh, to live in NYC. One of my fave cities in the world.

Will: No, I didn't! Welcome back.

G/puss: Gotta love Kent. It's just I don't live in a nice bit of it. And of course it's teh garden of England: it's always bloody raining here!

Actually, now that I think about it, I pollute even more than you, with all the flights I take. So we are all polluting bastards in the end.

Milla: Ha! Even though we have a car, we actually use it pretty infrequently, thereby not really polluting much at all.
