The trains were all buggered up on my line yesterday, with people spilling out onto platforms and looking all indignant. There was many an angry mobile phone call made. People cursing the train company and stomping off towards a tram (all full) or bus (likewise) and finally conceding defeat and walking to work. I kinda liked the walking bit, especially the agony of the uber-high-maintenance chicks in their spike heels. Tee hee.

It came out in the wash that the bumbling antics of the train company were not in fact to blame. THIEVES stole copper cabling from a station near the city because the price of copper has increased so much recently and they can sell it and roll about in the mountains of cash, laughing diabolically. I've heard tales of weatherboards being torn off houses and the copper pipes being pinched right out of the walls. Anyway, thieving = bad, wrong, etc, but I can't help but be just a little bit impressed by their creativity. And that they made hoards of people walk to work (who perhaps should be walking to work every day...)

I have stumbled across a site that produces voodoo dolls to your specifications... but only if your intended target is a small female person. See here. This utterly sums up why small boys are way more fun that little girls. Girls are wierd. Boys are revolting, but at least they don't haul around creepy little corpses like these.
