What's this all about?

My name is X and I am a failed writer.

There it is, I have said it. Feels better now.

This blog will (may?) help me to put some order in my thoughts. If I am honest, it is not intented just as a vademecum, there's more than an ounce of exhibitionist in me. Don't expect, however, state-of-the-art web design, regular updates or even consistency. I am only consistent in my inconsistency.

I also like to play with words, and hide messages in them. Maybe because English is not my mother tongue, maybe because I am shy. But then I also seek recognition. I guess I am a walking contradiction.

So why did I choose this title?

1. I live in London
2. I love Transport
3. I do NOT work for Transport for London
4. I am French
5. I am Spanish
6. I think it's funny
7. I found an old map of the Tube (incidentally from the year I was born) that actually shows Embankment station between Trafalgar and Waterloo stations:

What do I intend to post here?
Almost (I don't think I have a very fertile inner life, but I still look after a tundra-like secret garden) everything I think of: Politics, Transport, Economics, Music, Literature and other ramblings. Not everything will be in English, not everything will be real... but that's another story... It's late and I have to go to bed, just in case the 8:43 train is on time tomorrow...
