After the Twin Towers were hit on 9/11 & US air space was closed, people had to make other arrangements, in amongst all of it, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor & Marlon Brando shared a cross country car trip together.

And it occurs to me, at 1 point, this was our equivalent of that trio.

Canavan is definitely that one player that puts his name out to other clubs only to receive a deafening silence in return.

Nobody wants him.

The tail just fell right off there, didn't it?

Isn't criminality implied by your name?

I think a line up photo of all 3 is going to be required, if you can get enough Welsh sunshine that is.

Oh, so the other big van then.

Is that yet another Mercedes Sprinter clone?

Incidently, I did find this Telstra pay-phone with an identity crisis

Arden Station is by far the quietest of the 5 stations, which is great considering the large potential the immediate area has for redevelopment.

It may be quiet now, but don't expect that to last too long, and it's great to see the area future proofed and with such style too.

Least surprising development ever.

I was in that 1st eastbound train, in the 4th car back from the front, there was definitely plenty of cheering from where I was, wheb we first entered the tunnel & then at each individual station as well, but I can't speak about what was going on in that 1st car.

We had massive crowds at many stations, most got left behind, and most stayed on all the way through to Malvern.

I joined the first train from Sunbury at Diggers Rest, foolishly thinking there wouldn't be too big a crowd. I luckily managed to get a rare seat.

The train is already approaching a crush crowd now as we pull out of St Albans

Meanwhile, here's me chuckling away at the thought that a professional journalist actually went to the bother of putting in a freedom of information request to work this out.

As if there isn't plenty of evidence out there already.

It wasn't exactly a secret.

They might say they represent the common man, what they really mean is they rule the common man.

Feudal monarchy or constitutional monarchy, the only real difference is what the ruling class call themselves, for us mere plebs the only real difference is what we choose to believe.

In today's climate, though, I do feel the need to point out: That was a joke.
