I play a game...

By James Hill at 23 Apr 22:44

It begins with the tube I'm currently traveling on as it pulls into the destination I'm awaiting, slowly the platform morphs from a blur into a steady image that my eyes can track, then suddenly three lights appear in my field of view and the sound of three beeps that announce the start of a formula one race bleep in time to the three lights and it begins!

The doors (gates) opens and they're off, the sounds of the engines kicking up gears as they hit the straights, the weaving in and out of pedestrians, if only they knew they were also competing for the world famous james end of work tube dash title.

The rules are simple as there are only two. The first from the tube through the ticket gates win and, no running allowed. Strictly walking only!.

The last thing that is required of you to play this game, you must commentate to your self as you weave, turn, overtake, pass and finish in either a) english formula one commentator or b) aussie horse racing commentator at the melbourne cup.

I prefer the formula one commentator... Go Go Go!

I propose a twist: Tube Destruction Derby. 1 point for every position that loses their footing as you make your way from the back of the tube carriage to the escalator. Running not allowed.

so did you win?

I think you should lose the passive-agressive struggle within and just do it... run!
