**Guru** · May 30th, 2002, 09:11 AM

I know this was asked about 2 years ago...

**tr0n** · May 30th, 2002, 09:16 AM

when i cycle: 40mins
on the bus: 1 hour

DerFarm · May 30th, 2002, 09:20 AM

20 minutes

**InvisibleDuncan** · May 30th, 2002, 09:20 AM

It takes me two hours on the two days per week that I'm in London.

It takes fifteen seconds on the other three days.

**Jim Brown** · May 30th, 2002, 09:22 AM

It depends how much time I spend at Morag's school admiring the classwork and getting 5'd by all her buddies, not to mention chatting up the Moms.

But during school hols, when I go straight to work, 10mins max.

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 09:22 AM

Pre 9/11 15 mins
After 9/11 30 to 45 mins depending on the little boys with M-16's

**Ianpbaker** · May 30th, 2002, 09:22 AM

5 mins on a good day , 15 mins otherwise

**Bonker Gudd** · May 30th, 2002, 09:27 AM

Around 4 hours Monday morning/Friday evening, the rest of the time it's just the time it takes to smoke a ***.

40 minutes when in my base office (forgotten where that is though

)

**JPicasso** · May 30th, 2002, 09:30 AM

15 mins.

I love it.

Went from 1 hour each way (nasty)

**GlenW** · May 30th, 2002, 09:30 AM

25 mins by car.
2 hours by public transport.

pardon ?

**Jim Brown** · May 30th, 2002, 09:52 AM

I think Katie means that security on the base is a bit tighter, sonce last September.

**MerrionComputin** · May 30th, 2002, 10:41 AM

10 minutes on fine days, 15 minutes on soft days - cycling..

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 10:43 AM

The base security has become paranoid to the point of ridiculousness!

**parksie** · May 30th, 2002, 11:25 AM

45 minutes on a good day, up to an hour depending on the idiots driving slowly on what are probably the most difficult roads to overtake on

why, what happened on the 9th of November?

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:33 AM

I lost my virginity

Goofball!

**chrisjk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:34 AM

why did they tighten security because of that...

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:36 AM

They were afraid all the young servicemen would be servicing me instead of keeping their minds on their work!

Well something had to be tightened up to keep the balance...

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:37 AM

LOL@Parksie!

**chrisjk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:38 AM

LOL

so you're a danger to national security

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:45 AM

That about sums it up!

**parksie** · May 30th, 2002, 11:47 AM

She's too busy distracting the little boys with big toys (not *those* toys...) on her way in

**barrk** · May 30th, 2002, 11:51 AM

Those kid's voices haven't even changed yet....and I'm pretty sure some of the don't even shave yet!

**cafeenman** · May 30th, 2002, 11:53 AM

At the moment.... it takes about 2 seconds. 4 seconds if I decide not to be naked.

Ever since then, Katie's been what Flussie calls 'narrow minged"

an ideal work morning.

Wake up just before the alarm, one-and-a-half hours before I'm due to start. Shower and dress leisurely, eat a healthy nutritious breakfast and perhaps check my emails. Set off for work half an hour before my start time. Find a convenient parking space, get into work, fetch a brew and log on ten minutes early for work so I can catch up on the previous days events and check any necessary memos before I start.

a realistic work morning.

Sleep through the alarm. Wake up 15 minutes before I'm due to start work in a pool of drool. Leap into clothes and stagger out to my car. Floor the accelerator and scream along at about 45-50 mph. Handbrake into 2 or 3 parking spaces and sprint for my desk. neglect to clock in as i'm about 5 minutes late but note that my boss hasnt seen me yet.

So, I'd say between 15 and 30 minutes depending on traffic.

Where's the quickie? That would help make the morning a little more ideal.

**crptcblade** · Jun 1st, 2002, 03:00 PM

It takes me about 45 minutes because I leave before the traffic gets bad. I get in about 40 minutes early, but if I leave the house any later, it would take nearly twice as long to get there.

fair point, but since I don't live with the missus, that's another couple of miles onto the journeytime.

Well, as long as we're talking "ideal," maybe she should do the travelling, fix you breakfast, and take care of those other little details.

Not trying to be sexist here. If we were talking about her "ideal" morning, it would be just the opposite, right?
