Welcome to Kiwi Log - the musings of a displaced Kiwi experiencing the many delights of London, can't wait for the 'black snot'! I make no apologies to anyone that doesn't get the 'in jokes' - you should have gotten to know me better when you had the chance.

The promised wind up didn't (couldn't) happen

Not for a lack of trying on my part - but due to London types extrodinary internal body clocks. They quite literally get onto a tube and tell the brain to cut out for a specified number of stops.

I was sat next to two people, both sat down and appeared unconcious within minutes. Tube starts, tube stops, doors open - and the reaction from these two laggards, nothing. Nada, zip, the big doughnut.

Then miraculously, at a station previously programmed or embedded, their eyes open in perfect sync with the doors and they head on out. Weird.
