People on the tube do some odd things.
This morning a very attractive lady sat next to me and got a load of papers out of her bag. Nothing odd about that you may think, but after rumaging in her bag she fished out a two hole punch and started punching papers and filing them away in folders.
Makes a change from reading the Metro I guess.

A pal of mine sent me an e-mail on Friday saying come and see me joust at the Tower of London.
Well with an invitation like that how could we refuse so at the crack of noon we headed off to Tower Hill where we discoved that the tournament was taking place in the Tower's moat and we could watch it all for free whoopee!
It was all very splendid as the King and Queen turned up to watch from the dias (I think it was Edward IV given the banners with the White Roses of Lancaster) and the Heralds took to the field to announce the tilts as the four knights took it in turns to break lances on each others sheilds. See QueeneMab's site for some nice photos
We kept a look out for Grahame or Sir Geoffrey Turberville as he is known, but its kind of difficult to tell who people are when they are encased in steel.
Having enjoyed the spectacle and relieved that nobody got injured we wandered off to St Catherine's Dock to have a look at the boats in the marina and have a drink in the Dickens Inn before heading over Tower Bridge for a drink in the Mudlark and the Anchor before a jolly nice Piri Piri chicken meal at Nandos and then home.
What a great way to enjoy a Sunday
