i tend to walk a bit faster than other people, especially on the way to or from the station.

in the morning there's usually not many people about but in the evening i sometime verge on the edge of pavement rage when i get stuck behind a group of wide-walkers with big bags (especially when i've timed my 38 minutes walk to get a specific train).

this evening i got stuck behind a pirate. but instead of getting angry i decided to ask if i could take a photo. so here it is.

there's a moral here (somewhere). And it's good to know pirates aren't as scary as they used to be.

i think they've been on a government pirate integration program.

and yes, i did miss my train.
