Learnt to cope

Have a good strap and a pair of semi hiking shoes that dont allow foot to move - therefore walking almost normally

Which is why I didnt kick up a fuss in the first couple of days  - you have to learn to cope.

Even had to run for train tonight

First slowtrack late again (two tuesdays on run) and then announcements announce reverse formation - so had to hobble/peg it into reading then down the platform - only to find it wasnt in reverse formation and had to peg it back again!

For someone who cycled 15 miles a day I am way out of shape

(and my foot now hurts like ****)

Sorry to hear that, Mookiemoo: a LARGE white wine, may I suggest?

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Conner,  I'm delighted at the change of name - totally your own choice; I agree it gives the consistency and personal touch to the moderation team.  A sort of convention when someone changes their name in this situation is to add "formerly xxxxx" - in your case "formely qprrule" in their signature for a while, and I note that you did this at the time you changed, so that every post of yours includes a connection for readers.

There's a sticky topic at
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=1780.0
which gives a brief introduction to all the moderators
