the weed called subways

I don't mean the restaurant. grammar is very important and in this cases it's important because it distingushes between a restaurant and the thing that goes under roads to make them safer.

but are they really safe? I was thinking this as I walked to Tescos earlier. to get to Tescos from my place, I've got to cross the Coventry Road which is an A road so it's fairly busy. I have a choice of either going over the road or going under the subway, but the subway is lit by very bad strip lighting and there are a lot of shadows which means that there is the threat of someone with a knife hiding from you. now, if you go over the road, you have a choice of getting hit by a car or waiting for the road to go quiet before you cross but if you're going under a subway and someone decides to stab you then you don't really have much choice in the matter. also if you get stabbed then you have concentrated pain in a small spot but if you got hit by a car then you'd have bruising wich would hurt less and it's spread over a wider surface area so if you got hit by a car then you'd be more likely to get out of PE after recovering :) on the other hand, you're more likely to die from a stab wound, so you get out of PE either way. I personally prefer the less finite way of getting out of PE, so I think I'll take the going over the road way of getting to Tescos :)

I had 3 random thoughts which are worth mentioning today:
1) I was standing outside a restaurant and I was wondering why I could smell onions.
2) while I was walking, I was wondering why my head was cold. then I realised that I wasn't wearing a hat. then I realised that I don't normally wear a hat out apart from in summer, and then it's a very distinctive purple sunhat.
3) if the Queen and a cup of tea are things that make Britain british (to foriegners) then surely the Queen drinking tea must be the ULTIMATE British thing. so if the Queen's kettle breaks then do we suddenly stop being British?

thank you for reading!
