Time travel - by coach!
« on: March 10, 2007, 10:50:15 AM »
Yes folks, you read that right.

So, the story. I decided to take a couple of days off next week to visit my folks. For some insane reason I figured I'd get the coach.

As it happens I only managed to get to the station to book the ticket yesterday (9th) after work, around 6:15pm and booked a tikect for today at 1.05pm.

This morning whilst packing a bag, I looked over the ticket. Only to discover the outward journey was for Friday 9th March, 1.05.

I'm not entirely sure how I am supposed to catch that one. Any chance National Express have been upgrading their fleet to run on flux capacitors :-?

Well, that has to rank as the most abortive visit home ever.

Despite getting my ticket screwed up (twice!) I finally got back. Only to spend 3 days at the crib in the grip of a particularly nasty flu type bug. Today was the first day I could actually get out of bed without having the shakes and got on the first thing back I could find. I'm much better (insofar as I am actually able to write this) but I fear my lungs have been plagued by some bizzare alien life form that resembles an oyster. They've been gestating and coming out regularly for the last 24 hours...

@X-Ray

To be honest, eating sprouts wouldn't be a problem at the moment. I cant smell or taste anything at all. I just had an espresso and it just tasted like water.

Thanks for asking :-)

In truth, like sh*t, but less so than yesterday.
