There was a fare-dodger on the train this morning. When the ticket inspector appeared at the far end of the carriage, he stood up and disappeared towards the other carriage.

Thee ticket inspector obviously knew what was going on because after he had finished his rounds, he came back into our carriage and sat down opposite me, where he could keep a watch on the toilet door (where presumably the fare dodger was hiding). Another Central Trains employee arrived on the scene to offer reenforcements, but I didn't see how the scene played out because the train arrived at New Street and I had to leave.

After moving my website to a new hosting company last week, I've been a bit busy making sure the site works properly, that the blog software is set up properly and that all the links work. This has meant that I haven't had time to add many entries, so I am spending my lunchtime today writing a few brief notes for last week, and back-dating them so they appear on the right days. So any short entries below don't reflect any new found brevity, just a lack of time.

Update:
Lunchtime might not be the best time of day to do this, at least in work. It seems that everyone starts surfing the 'net and everything slows down, pages fail to load and lots of DNS errors appear.
