18:33 Uxbridge (all stations)
Hello there matey pips, how did your day work out for you? Hope you all got your chrimbo shopping done whilst 'working from home' strike day.
Firstly, for Rajvi, before I forget:
You are lub er ly
I am bub er ly
Pull the cork
My dads called Kawks
This was me helping Raj with her homework yesterday where she had to write a poem describing herself as a champagne bottle. I think she was well impressed, speechless, you might say as she just walked away (in admiration of my lyrical powers, I'm sure)
So, I forgot to tell you about an episode that happened last week on the train journey to 'Mad Chester' . Sods law and an hour into the journey coming back, and I'm sitting on the loo (lovely lunch Adam, thank you for the pasta) and the ticket inspector knocks asking to see my ticket! Brilliant, and for some reason he must have thought I was blagging the journey (did he not see that I had my power 'wide stripes' suit on. Anyways I said 'Can't you wait 2 minutes, I'm doing a poo' to which he said 'Sorry sir, I need to see it NOW'.
So as I passed it under the door. I thought it best to explain that the yellow bits must be the sweetcorn from earlier...
Boom and that has taken us all the way to Baker Street!
The driver has played 'there may be pickpockets operating on this train' about 5 times in quick succession....Is this because the Surgeons are on strike today?
I looked around at the passengers and the good news is that everyone was patting their bums, and no one seemed to have lost their behinds so far...
Twice today, I've been on the new (rubbish) met lines where there are 3 seats and the rest have to stand. Really, it's the person I'm leaning on whilst writing this that I feel sorry for...
Wembley Park and one of the 3 seats has emptied so I'll sit down. Hold on, where's my bum! Damn I knew I should have paid more attention to the driver.
Just seen the news that Sunderland have sacked their manager. Wowza. I guess they are just getting into the festive mood by giving the sack to a red cheeked fat man...
Actually there was a group of strikers outside our building this lunchtime, I saw here Rooney,Van Persy and Drogba. Well I think it was Drogba but he was rolling around a bit too much for me to get a good look at him...
Right, 19:14 and Rayners has arrived.
One last time everyone:
You are lub er ly
I am bub er ly
Cheers and a good sleep to you all,
A small man called Kawks

Tuesday 29th November - The journey home
18:02 semi fast to Watford
Hey gang, how it's going? Had the usual quandary of whether to get the umbrella out as it was 'spitting' on my way to lovely Farringdon station. Remembered that I didn't actually have any hair so decided to keep the umbrella tucked away in my iPad satchel.
So, looking forward to the strike tomorrow? Loads of people I've spoken to are 'working from home'. Bet Westfield shopping centre is gonna be packed with these 'home workers'. I'm gonna brave it and see how we get on. I don't think they will have the border police at Farringdon, so we should be ok!
Good news to share!! We have 1037 views of the blog so to each and every one of you a big hug (or gentleman handshake) if that's better for ya.
So, who saw that YouTube video of the woman on the tram in Croydon. Wowza! Good to see she has been arrested this morning but the comments on YouTube supporting her behaviour were scary and a reflection of how much more building of bridges we need to do. Well that will keep my Polish friends busy if nothing else...boom!
It turns out the woman wasn't being a racist bigot. She was just reading her Daily Mail out loud to her kid...
No real characters to mention on the tube at the mo, so will report back if this changes at Finchley Road.
Reading the Evening Standard and see that there is a chance of a double dip this year. Not happy about that, and never did think the coleslaw and potato salad combo really works.
My thought for the day - I hate having to explain myself.Don't ask me why...
Wowza, reading that Atos, who employ 80,000 people in 42 countries is going to ban emails as they said 90% of them are a waste of time and want their staff to talk to each other!! Neat...must forward that to everyone at work.
We also have a piece on Facebook floating for $100billion. Wow, that's a lot of likes!
Right gonna hot foot it to the Uxbridge train now. Before I go, just want to say
Happy Birthday Ryan Giggs! I suppose it'll be a quiet affair this year?...
Have a great dinner,
A small man called Kawks

Monday 28th November - Journey to work
Yay, it's Monday morning! It's freezing so today marks the official 'wear a stripy sweater to work' day. The train is only 34% full. Maybe everyone's practising for the strike on Wednesday, or they don't possess a stripy sweater.
Let's do advert of the day and get that part over and done with.
Wowza, there is one that starts off 'Are you sitting comfortably?' Interesting me thinks, wonder if the advert is going to transform into a screen and show me a trailer for Happy Feet 2 (in all good cinemas from 2nd Decemburr). Oh no, just read a bit more of the ad, and it's actually for notifying you that you may be one of the 5 million people in the UK who has bladder problems. Damn! Now I feel like going, and there isn't a discarded Nero's coffee cup to be seen!
Everyone is reading the Metro today, some are even just lying it against their chests as a way of getting a few extra layers of warmth. Reading my neighbours copy, there are more details of Janet Devlin being booted out of X Factor last night. As Jimmy Carr tweaked the other day, imagine how good she could be if he didn't have the hiccups! It was good to see the Muppets make a return yesterday, but to be honest with you dear blog reader, the muppets have been on the programme all season!
There is a very annoying woman who has disobeyed rule number 3 of the tube passengers etiquette guide! She has her beep/notification sound on full and it's going off every other second. She looked at me and I've given her the official warning (tut and eyebrows raised high for a sec) so lets see if she behaves herself, otherwise I'm gonna have to pull the bad boy passenger alarm.
Looking around, everyone seems to be wearing a scarf today, so I reckon it's the official start of Winter. The large woman opposite me has a very pale complexion, dark black big eyes and a big massive red scarf. If ever a polar bear tried to escape from London Zoo, this is how it should do it...
A blind man with his guide dog has just got on at Finchley Road. All of a sudden everyone is smiling and looking at the dog! Not sure if it's owner heard the weather forecast today, but I don't think he will be needing those sunglasses.
Seriously, my neighbour recently went blind. It's his family he feels for most...
Boom! We are at Baker Street and this train is terminating so think we will leave it there as I won't be able to type with my gloves on.
Have a beautiful day folks,
A small man called Kawks

Friday 25th November - Journey to work
Morning dear FB reader. It's 08:35am, already an I'm at HOH! I did mean to start writing earlier, but slightly fell asleep. I blame Preeti! Last night she over estimated my ability to eat Pizza, and made 2 large ones. Maybe she thought that I'd actually walked it back from Manchester, rather than taking the wonderful Virgin service. Anyways, after getting through my 2 standard slices, there was quite a lot left...so guess what I was given for breakfast this morning and hence why I feel sleepy..
There were 3 yoofs on the tube (all stations to Algate). In true style they were living up to their reputation. Across the other side, 2 of them decided they required the full width of the seats to themselves, and they both must have had abnormally long legs, because they both had to stretch them out onto the opposite seats. Maybe they are off to Northwick Park Hospital to have them looked at...
The other yoof, who looks very much like Dappy from NDubz is sitting opposite me. He has all the gear including the NYC cap and is doing the 'attitude' face. Being quite knowledgeable about the fashion scene (thanks Raj), I was still taken a little bit by surprise when I read what what it said on his puffed up baseball style jacket. It had a big D on one side, and initially I thought it said Dunce! However, after a quick wipe of my glasses, I reread it and it actually said 'Duffer'! which I thought was equally bad! I was wondering if he had the words 'Dopey Dappy' on the back, but he got off whilst I was typing this so this will forever remain a mystery. He also had a strange combo of Blackberry (Curve 8520) with Apple headphones. Fashion fau par no. 2 me thinks. Look at me, I've turned into Gok Wan today!
Advert choice of the day, Vectone have an offer of unlimited calls to the motherland for £10 a month! that's landlines and mobiles...not bad folks not bad..but I think I will stick with Skype thanks...
We have just had a false alarm from the driver saying he may have to dump us at Baker Street as the train in front is stuck...the drama of it all, and as expected the announcement is followed by each passenger making eye contact with the opposite passenger whilst mouthing 'raster clart'..
Right folks, gonna catch some sleep now so have a beautiful day and look forward to receiving your feedback!

Wednesday 23rd November - The journey home
Greetings earthlings. Yes, I know I didn't do a blog yesterday, but I think it's good to have that feeling of 'will he do a blog today or not'. As my teacher once said..'Kawks, always leave them wanting more'. Something I have taken on board for 20 years now, though to be honest with you dear blog reader, I did love that dinner lady job, and should have taken them to a tribunal.
Yesterday, I came home a tinsy bit early as I had a BMW to test drive. (M sport 2.2 with additional media pack- since you asked), so has a play with that in the evening. It passed the 'does the seat go high enough for me and Preeti to drive WITHOUT resorting to using a cushion, which it did I'm pleased to say! 8 out of 10 overall but gonna see how the Jag XF test drive lined up for next month goes before deciding.
18:51 and got to Baker Street, for those that wanted a time and location check.
Let's look around...
Opposite we have a 'Baaank Account and Soort code details' man. Apparently he is calling some woman as we speak to say that her Pigeon had left her a huge inheritance, but he just needs to sort out paying the admin fee. Hmmm, lucky person I thought! Why don't I have any rich pets. Note to self, prey extra hard to Goddess of Wealth Laxmi tonight.
Opposite is also a lady/man with a bright orange jacket what says HyVent on the sleeve. Good for you lady/man vent away...oh IT has got off at Finchley Road. Really wasn't sure which gender that was, had a blonde muchi, but as I've learnt from Preeti n her clients, that don't mean nothing...Except perhaps £2 for the magic box for a upper lip wax.
Great news - the train is now a fast Amersham service due to late running. Only bad news for me is that my Sankoni brothers all legged it at Finchley road and there were a couple that I could have commented on...
We are flying along on the Amersham cruise ship and already at Northwick Park, for all the Drs, Nurses, and Students to disembark. Which reminds me...Whoever came up with the phrase, "Better out than in" never suffered with piles...Boom! Good link Kawks, nicely stitched in if I say so myself...
Seriously, there was a bit of a demo going on outside the Westminster Uni or whatever it's called at Northwick Park. They had banners and placards. One of them read:
"What do we want?"
"A cure for dyslexia!"
"When do we want it?"
"Won!"
Boom! The Kawks is on fire tonight, and quite pleased with his efforts.
Right, Rayners has arrived, I wish you a lovely sleep and tomorrows gig will be coming from Manchester, so I may sound a little different.
Lots of Love,
A man called Kawks

Monday 21st November - The Journey Home
Wowza, what a night people. We had our Leaders in Society awards and dinner tonight. Got a lovely glass trophy , though not sure where to place the rubix cube on the mantelpiece now...
It's a late one, by blog standards . 9:17pm all stations to Uxbridge, so hope you are all rested and watered.
Had the vegetarian option for dinner (yep mushrooms)...and they were actually ok. Don't tell Preeti though as I never let her order them when we go to restaurants...Taste ok when they are free...
Let's look around...
You are not gonna believe this one bit but in my section of the carriage, there is only one other Indian! I slightly panicked and thought I'd got the hammersmith by mistake, then realised it must be cos its night, and us Indians have to be home by 7pm to watch channel 4 news.
There is a young looking Saddam Hussein opposite me. He's reading the evening standard. I looked at him again, and maybe he's more Borat looking than Saddam.
Just been chatting to Preeti on my way home and she's just let me know that she is leaving me! Just as I reached the Farringdon tunnel, so had to wait till Finchley road to continue.
In that time, I made a list of what could have caused this. I wondered if it was because I rubbed her up the wrong way, or because I'm no longer a spring chicken? When I got to Baker street, I thought maybe it's because I don't bring home all the bacon? As soon as Finchley road arrived, I said "ok dear, don't beat about the bush...give it to me straight! To which she replied she is tired of me always speaking in idioms...
To which I replied "O well, every cloud has a silver lining..."
Wow that was a long one and we are already at Wembley. People must be well into their 3rd bowl of strawberry icecream at Sakoni's by now...
There is a couple sitting across from me and one of them is telling the other that his team member was off work this afternoon as he's lactose intolerance....Personally, I think he's milking it!
Ok, now at HOH, and the bloke opposite has just started a horse walks into a bar.The barman says, "Why the long face joke!
I pretend not to listen but wonder if it's one I've heard before.
He continues "The horse, unable to understand the barman, breaks a table and shits on the floor....
Ok that was different...maybe I'll stick with the earlier train!
Good evening folks, hope you have a lovely sleep.
Regards

Friday - The journey home
19:05 Semi fast to Watford
What can I say, it's been a fun week. Stayed a little later in the office to present to 75 Maltese students, to show them if they too worked hard for 20 yrs, with the right luck, skill and judgment could also write a blog on their way home! I was going to do a joke about eating a packet of their unborn, but thought best not to go there.
Back to the journey...let's look around
Nothing to exciting to report so far, except a Chap whose even smaller than me who is talking about Christianity. Talking to his mate about 'look at it from my point of view'. I'm wondering about kneeling down and saying 'sorry I still don't get it'
Chap next to me is playing FIFA on his iPhone. Looks like Chelsea vs Liverpool. Yep definitely Chelsea, just seen Drogba rolling round on the floor.
On the other side is a dude whose head is even shinier than mine! Thinking of asking him if he uses Pledge or Mr Muscle. Anyways, he looks to be interested in his 'middle east property magazine' so I'll wait till he's put it away.
Just had a random thought, If I was reincarnated as a fish, I'd be gutted...
Baker street and 2 new people to analyse. Shiny suit, stripy shirt. Where's your braces mate...this ain't the central line!
2nd new entrant, I could be friends with. iPhone 4 in the left hand, iPhone 3GS (based on surfing speed), in the right. And big mama Bose headphones on. Can faintly hear the lyrics ' 15 miles from Town, where the faces are mostly brown'... Result!
Just glanced the headline in today's evening standard. 'tax on sleep in city hotels'...and that my friends is why I sleep in the office...
2 old ladies have just got on at 'Vembley Paark'. They are having a discussion about one of them seeing the "Dactar" this morning because of bowel trouble recently'. Nothing like waiting to wait till your with a crowd full of strangers before discussing your personal health I find. Anyway, she is explaining how when then the Dr asked whether she was regular, she smiled and said 7.30am on the dot. Like some others on the tube listening to this fabulous conversation, her friend said, so what's the problem, to which she replied...I don't wake up till o 8.00am
Boom Boom. Right gang, have a truly wonderful weekend, Sirish has told me I'll need an umbrella on Sunday, but hey ho, still lots of time to spend with the people I love.
Best wishes,
A man named Kawks

The journey home
18:18 Ticket to ride on the all stations to Uxbridge.
Ok, what fine specimens do we have tonight.
Indian dude with dotty face, posh satchel and blackberry. Must be a 'Dactor' as my mum would say...
Polish man a couple of seats down, laughing and texting. Must have got a new building contract...
Man opposite me has a tattoo of the symbol 'Om', so not gonna say anything bad about him! His ears could belong to Ganesh himself though...
Lady next to me reading 'the economist'. La de da...
Bloke just got on board with a massive white box with the words 'Brook Taverns'.maybe it's a self build...
As expected, Dactor and economist have left the tube at Baker St to go somewhere posher...
Now we have 2 replacements talking about HMRC policy. Apparently it begs all sorts of questions. Tuned out to be honest. Replacement number one has some lovely yellow teeth, each one seems to be going in different directions, maybe just like the HMRC policies perhaps...
Om is fast asleep.
Today's advert is the 'new Vodafone freebie rewardz'. Yep u heard right, rewardz! Man the way people try and be cool with the kids is butters if you ask me!...
Muslim lady with the kind face has replace brook taverns. Thinking to my self, the black cover thing must have its advantages on a windy night like today.
Man standing up has a 'nortons utilities CD in his pocket. It says it's made in CZ. There you've learnt something. Was thinking of saying he should have gone for AVG Free, but can't turn round enough to see if it's Phil Mitchell impersonator again.
Wembley park. Yep, the train half empties. Watch out Sakonies, they are on their way...
Om got out there as well, so taken his warm seat...
Lady with a gap shirt and virgin bag sits opposite me. And with a Superdry jacket. I think that even Rajvi would have been impressed with that combo...I can hear Lily Allen though her white iPhone headphones. Shame. 2 points deducted...
Entering Harrow on the hill now. How exciting it came in on the Watford platform, even though it's an uxbridge. The excitement..I can hardly type...
No one ever gets off at West Harrow, I reckon they should just covert it to a Pizzahut or something
18:55 and Rayners here we are. Time to sweet talk Preeti into collecting me.
Laters Taters.

Om got out there as well, so taken his warm seat...
Lady with a gap shirt and virgin bag sits opposite me. And with a Superdry jacket. I think that even Rajvi would have been impressed with that combo...I can hear Lily Allen though her white iPhone headphones. Shame. 2 points deducted...
Entering Harrow on the hill now. How exciting it came in on the Watford platform, even though it's an uxbridge. The excitement..I can hardly type...
No one ever gets off at West Harrow, I reckon they should just covert it to a Pizzahut or something
18:55 and Rayners here we are. Time to sweet talk Preeti into collecting me.
Laters Taters.

15th November 2011
6.58am, and it's time to wake up. 'will I need an umbrella' I ask Sirish (my Indian version of iPhones new assistant). As usual, I can't just leave it at that and also have to ask it how heavy a whale is followed by how many rupees is 25000 in pounds.
Damn, it's now 7.03 and I'm running late. Missed the radio 5 live news, and now need to get a move on before Rajvi asks for the electric toothbrush at 7.08. Note to self, Kawks, you are a director now, buy a new toothbrush.
Downstairs, Preeti is packing some eggs in an empty yogurt pot, as you do. This means only one thing..Rajvi's cooking lesson.
Ok, still running late, 20 past 8 and 3.5 mins to catch the algate train. As usual the biggest decision of the day, turn left to go at the front of the train, or walk the 112 steps to the 2nd but last carriage. Decide on the latter, and get a seat. Mr Ponytail is sitting in his usual place, though today he's not sniffing his newspaper. Slightly worried about that, but he's still talking to himself which slightly makes me feel better.
Usual happy people on the tube today. On my right, the dude is deciding what gun to use for the shooting game he's playing on his phone. I'd have gone for the M16, but decide its best not to interrupt him. Across from me, we have two more iPhone dudes. Stripey man with the satchel and NHS style glasses is playing angry birds and lady with the silver broach and Prada glasses is checking up on FB. She is still wearing her poppy. When do you actually take that off. Which reminds me, maybe it's time to remove the plastic red nose from the Lexus now...
Across the other side is a dead ringer for phil from eastenders. Think about doing my Phil impersonation to him, but don't fancy getting beaten up so early in the morning. Anyway don't think it's really him as he's reading the FT.
Angry birds man has fallen asleep, just as well as that last egg was never going to be broken with the trajectory he was using.
Phil has tucked the newspaper behind his back. No Phil, no one saw you do that...
Baker street and some more happy people get on. An Indian lady with a self fulfilment book get on. Not sure if the met line is gonna really help with that...
Just scanning the adverts on the tube, and there's one for holidaying in Egypt. Quite ironic how the strapline says 'where it all begins'! Wonder if tottenham should think about using that one.
Ok poppy lady has gone and no one is rushing to the spare seat. Is everyone on holiday as the train is only half full. That or everyone's got off at Euston for a day trip to the bullring in Brum.
9.04 and we've made it to Kings Cross. 3.5 mins of sleep to go, though potentially 4 depending on whether we have right of way over the circle line train. See they still have the 'come to Diwali in the Square October 16th' poster up, might as well leave it there now as its soon to come round again...
Ok peeps, that's it, we are at Farringdon so have a great day and see you all again soon. Love to Fatima.
