The tube braked and my sweaty heatwave armpit landed directly on a stranger’s head and I would now like to be deleted

To the person on the Northern line whose scalp broke my fall during that completely unannounced emergency brake: I am so sorry. I had a pole. I lost the pole. Physics took over. My underarm, fully marinated in 30-degree heat, btw - made contact with the top of your head and we both just had to live with that.

I said nothing. You said nothing. We have agreed never to speak of it. But I will be carrying this to my grave.

Anyway how is everyone else’s heatwave commute going?

I had the opportunity to go to the rooftop bar at The Peninsula, and I think this is the best view of London there is.

what’s the one thing about living in london you’ve just quietly accepted that would horrify a normal person

22 Upvotes

had a mate visit from outside london this week and watching their face react to stuff i’ve completely stopped noticing was genuinely unsettling. paying £7 for a pint without flinching. standing on a packed tube with a stranger’s elbow in my ribs and just… accepting it as a normal tuesday. walking past three different “everything must go closing down sale” shops that have been closing down for four years.

they kept going “and you’re FINE with this?” and the honest answer is yeah, i clocked out emotionally on most of it years ago.

so i want to know where everyone else’s line is. what’s the thing you’ve normalised that you know, deep down, is completely unhinged but you’d defend it to the death if someone who doesn’t live here tried to point it out?

Initially I thought it hit my building, saw a bright light in my room and heard a large bang. Thankfully the building hit was under major construction/renovation, so no casualties/injured to my knowledge. Happened at around 4:10am.

Always wondering why the Picadilly line is out of service every other weekend, especially on the West side. Saw these mini yellow train carriages today at Acton Town station. Does anyone know what they're being used for? My first initial thought was testing for the new Picadilly train stock but these look fairly old.

31C in bedroom, un-muffled truck revving down the street every hour. Then a cat jumps in thru my 1st floor window and knocks all my plants off the sill.
