Fellow Londoner here. Big fan of your work.

Couple of questions:

I've been in Waterloo and heard a code 3 being announced on the tannoy, which I later discovered is vomit. It had me spooked though thinking what could that be (was quite soon after the pathetic Parsons Green bomb). Are there any other interesting codes that I should listen out for?

Do you think Londoners are with you or against you on the strikes?

What's the strangest thing you've seen as you've pulled into a station?

EDIT: also, how black are your snots?

Dub here. Great pub, but my question relates to an experience I had recently up North in Fealtys bar in Bangor. A friend brought me there saying it was the best Guinness in the country, and after initially disbelieving them they were proven to be absolutely right, and if you've not been I'd highly recommend the place. What was different was it was warm and silky in a way the cold filtered isn't. What ever happened to warm Guinness, and would it ever be possible to serve a pint in that style in Ireland given the Guinness quality assurance team?

Of course it can. 800 years of conflict between two communities seperated by religion ended in most of our lifetimes in Northern Ireland. The sterling work of Hume and Trimble made everyone realise that no one in that conflict was innocent, and the other side had a point. There can be peace, but it requires everyone to admit culpability and from everyone to accept that without any further judgement. The peace process was epitomised eventually by two of the key figures in either side of the divide, McGuiness and Paisley both not only working together, but developing something of a friendship.
