train journey notes

1. What do people in Coventry say when they stop speaking to someone?

2. The club was so bad I imagined it secretly got its electricity from nearby houses. Some old lady paying £500 a quarter and cutting back on the two bar heater, whilst up the road a bunch of skanky youths are dancing to eclectic house on her.

3. When Kevin arrived at Jones&Jones he created something of a stir. Sitting huge and hearty, undeterred by the low ceiling and the grey carpet. Immune to the suspected but unprovable pacifier pumped through the air conditioning. "What's that noise" said Mr Shelley, ceasing to stroke his beard and looking up startled... "It's laughter" replied John, embarassed, as the loudest laugh ever heard on that floor shook the dust from the pot plants.

4. High rises in Newcastle with roofs like handles beside the Tyne - 6 carrier bags by a culvert.

5. And now its raining against the train windows

6. A man is singing "Bonnie Scotland", whilst another walks passed with a Scotland top on. Not exactly subtle... and we're still in Newcastle.

7. Imagine a work of art that concentrated on the idea of threat... A pile of gas cylinders and a lit match, a fraying coil on an elevator, an anonomous piece of luggage quietly ticking.
