Surf's up

My first chrome to the dome goes to ‘THE GIRL ON THE TUBE THIS MORNING WITH A SURF BOARD’.

It’s a familiar weekday site (not). You get on your packed tube in the morning, everyone’s head buried into their freebie Metro’s, with Amy Winehouse blasting on their iPods, then on walks a girl with a 9 foot surfboard. Surreal ?! - Yes. Why, oh why did you choose to travel in peak commuter running hours with a board that is so big it has to be propped up sideways, diagonally in the standing zone. I’m sure the people lucky enough to get on a few stops later were thinking ‘narly dude’ (that’s surf speak by the way) as they ducked underneath it.

Listen love, it’s winter, London doesn’t have any beaches, only Newquay has any decent surf and I’m trying to get to work. Here’s a suggestion, GET A CAB, WAIT TIL LATER or JUST DON’T BOTHER !!! The bag that had the surf board in could easily double up as a handy body bag for you as ‘the barrel of a gun’ is now officially pointing at you!

Look here don't be hard on the girl she was probabaly an Aussie or blond, she may have met a guy who said come over and surf (modern speak for came up and see my etchings) so what's the girl to do but take her surf board?
