30DW2-2 - Day 21: Last Train


We'd had a long day of sightseeing and as the daylight was quickly fading so were we. Our feet were sore. Bob and I decided on resting our dogs at a nearby pub and a couple of Guinness sounded good right about now.

It had been some day. We learned for instance that contrary to that childhood song London Bridge was not falling down.

And we were quite disappointed to learn that the crown jewels were just that, literally. I mean we'd read about Prince Charles' propensity for extra curricular, ahem, activities in the past and we kinda wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

We took a ride on the London Eye but were disappointed when there wasn't an optometrist to be seen. Boy did we make a spectacle of ourselves.

And we were quite amazed when we saw the Beefeaters at the tower of London. Not so much by their colourful uniforms but because they weren't eating beef. We thought we might be able to wrangle a free meal but no such luck.

We visited the British Parliament but got headaches when all those guys did was yell at each other. I mean how do they ever get anything done?

We dropped by Indigo's place for a spot of tea but when we rang his bell Max came to the door and told us Indigo was out with a bunch of badgers. We didn't quite understand this message. We thought it must be a uniquely British thing.

Indigo's pals badger him into a night on the town.

Bob and I were enjoying the perfect end to our day. We were able to relax and down a couple of drafts.

Relax? Oh my. Look at the time. If we don't grab a cab and high-tail it to Victoria Station we'll miss our train.

But luck was with us as there were still two trains in the station. As we boarded the train on Platform 1 the conductor gently grabbed hold of my arm and in a very kindly voice said:

Hold on a sec gents, this is the lass train.

The laddies train is on Platform 2.

Haul your freight over to We Work for Level Crossings where 4 out of 5 boxcars are carrying pizzas to Indigo's place today.

Are you trying to derail me with those compliments, Ziva?
Boom Boom Larew said…
Hahahahaha! I love it! Leave it to you to get on the lass train. I'm sure Indigo and the badgers would never have made such a mistake, even when they were in their cups.
nonamedufus said…
Well, it was kinda hard to tell after a couple of beers. But I drink out of glasses not cups.
Nicky said…
LOL! You have conducted yourself with aplomb, sir! Well done. :-)
nonamedufus said…
Oh, thanks Nicky. I think I was on fire, man.

I don't get those badgers thing, either. Also, I think you would have stayed there much longer if only you caught a cricket game. ;)

Ӏt's a result of the sincerness communicated in the post I read. And after this post "30DW2-2 - Day 21: Last Train". I was moved enough to drop a thought :-P I actually do have some questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be just me or does it seem like some of these responses appear like written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I would like to follow you. Would you list the complete urls of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

About time you got home after your night out with those incorrigible badgers. Were you hung over this morning, or what?
KZ said…
I wonder how much you would have actually enjoyed seeing Prince Charles' "jewels" in a display case. Speaking for myself, that's not the first attraction I'd find myself running to.
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, you've really got to have balls to see that display.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
