n.b. Those of you living outside London might find the table useful as a contemporary design for retiling your bathroom, if nothing else.

If stare for long enough at the table, a cryptic message can be seen.

What - you mean the Joob is open again at weekends (except tomorrow) and no more closures until October? I'd given up checking after all this time. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be a lot quicker if they got all the people to work on one line at once? If all the workers were condensed down to one line, they could finish each line in one weekend.

Not in the unique way Gordon Brown sold it off, alas.

Anyway, cossetted Tube travellers, welcome to the world of the National Rail traveller. At least buses on Tube replacement services don't look like they've come out of scrapyards.

Clicked on the comments in order to leave one and found that onionbagblogger beat me to it.( 2nd message)
Still haven't worked it out yet though.
Wonder what would happen if you put it through one of those old telex tickertape machines?

Well according to that table I'm completely buggered then.

And not in a nice way either.

After looking at DG's image for an hour and then drinking four bottles of Sunny Delight, I can now see the outline of a fat, sweating American tourist, holding his armpit in the air and poking it in my face.

Luckily, the people of Wanstead can take a casual stroll down the High Street, stopping for a coffee and a sandwich at one of the many cafes along the way (or even a nice bag of chips if they feel like it), and go from Snaresbrook instead. A pleasant trip which also scorns the hopeful 66 stuck on the Green Man roundabout. It's downhill all the way, too. One of the benefits of being in a spot ridiculously well served by the network.

Is there no end to dg's talents? I saw something very like his design hanging in an art gallery recently.

I believe if you stare at dg's table for thirty seconds, then look away, you see the Virgin Mary. I suspect dg will now become a holy shrine of some sort, fielding millions of hits a day. (Quick! Try to figure out how to make a buck or two on it. Prayer cards? Bookmarks?) But seriously, this is such a huge public service, dg should be elevated to Royal Keeper of the Tube Tables or Head Color Tile Guy, Virgin Mary image or no.

August 26th is Bank Holiday weekend isn't it? When surely they get an EXTRA day (the monday) to do MORE work .. and yet that's the date where least work is taking place!

Or are they actually being thoughtful because they know that stuff is taking place in London that weekend, and therefore scheduling as least work as possible for that weekend?

right on. I tried to get from Bethnal Green to Islington to a pre-edinburgh gig on Saturday and failed. I tried again on Sunday and also failed! I allowed an hour on Sat and 90 mins today (sunday). Something's wrong - ghosts in the machine not withstanding...

It says ERR.

You mean there's a nice way to be buggered??
