Plain Trains and Automobiles

August 17th, 2008

A new exhaust was required this week, after driving to Wales last week with a detour on the way back to pick the kids up from North Nibley (snigger) nr Gloucester, I eventually got home sounding like I was making preparations for a Monster Truck competition across the pond. So during the week I’ve been getting the train to work which maybe cheaper than the petrol I put in the car? Though I have to cycle 15 minutes to the station, lock up my bike and then walk 30 minutes from the other end of the line to work. I’ve found out I can actually take my bike on the train only I couldn’t be arsed to negotiate the terrain in St. Leonards, other than that it’s quite possible some drug crazed lunatic will attempt to rob it from me on the way (nice place). Just up the road from where I work is Part Co., a vehicle parts trade counter, having ordered a new exhaust and associated gaskets I picked it up Thursday to carry home, after a treacherous ride from the station on my push bike I considered it would’ve been a better idea to have the parts delivered to the Eastbourne branch. Anyway, I put it on Yesterday and it’s fine. Off to Wales to see Julie next weekend, communication has been a bit thin on the ground this week as I left my bloody mobile phone on the train.
