Just drive to the end of one of the tube lines or get a train! It won't be hard! And the M25 is just like a regular motorway!

Don't have very happy memories of the M25 after a crash that blocked the entire road meant getting diverted to Watford and a kind bloke walking his dog went and got his car out so that I could follow him to the nearest Travelodge! I definitely hadn't been going to go to this anyway, just with this visit to the rellies it might have been a last minute possibility.

Edit - I've been busy downloading Manics stuff on to my mp3 player so I'll have plenty to listen to even if I can't make the gig!

Everytime I'm on the M25 I always end up behind a horse box! Move, pesky horses.

So excited, I'm set to leave for London on Wednesday. Lucky I managed to convince my dad it was time to spend some time in England, otherwise there would be no chance of me going. I still can't believe I am!

It's an overground extension of the underground network, that uses driverless trains on a winding and undulating route. Get the front seat where the driver would normally be and it's like riding a rollercoaster, just without the heart stopping thrills.
