This just has to be played, though given how it progresses you may need to wear headphones in an environment where the word Fuck and others are considered far too rude.

I was in London about 4 years ago when the Tube shut down due to extreme heat (the tracks were buckling from thermal expansion), dumping tens of thousands of people into Oxford Street. Total zoo. I don't like being in large crowds, and this almost made me freak out -- I'd never been pressed in to where I couldn't move in any direction before.

So, I can sympathize. Like the song says, a bicycle might be your best solution.

Well I'm going to trundle through my Worcestershire town and pick daughter up from school, no Madding Crowd here.

Ever heard of management, Nemesis? They are the reason unions can't work out a deal everyone is happy with for the next few years.

It was pretty funny. I had to show my wife and she laughed too.
