Famous people on a train

Before you think I saw a famous person on the RER A (the title could lead you to think that) I didn't. But I saw someone who looked like John McCain, which was weird, as of all the people to take the RER A he's really one who I cannot even begin to imagine there... Plus the guy has a temper. I would love to see how mad he'd get when the train is packed, and then delayed. Surely he would explode.

I then started thinking how other politicians would react on the train (I didn't have my mp3 with me and haven't had time to go to the library recently):


Margaret Thatcher: Would her hair wilt or not with the heat? I would vote for no.

Bill Clinton: Playing sax for money?

David Cameron: Wouldn't take the train as he'd probably be on his bike somewhere with the armoured car following closely behind him.

Nicolas Sarkozy: I wonder if he would have the same problem as me - he's a little man, and I'm a little woman and I recently had the experience of a taller person literally resting their arm on my head as they held the pole (the pole!). How could they not notice that their arm was on my head? Did they notice and just not care? And I'm not minute. I think I'm maybe even Sarkozy height, which for a girl is okay.

Anyway, enough of that. I experienced a strange round trip yesterday as there was a problem at Achères Ville so the Conflans train went all the way to Poissy and then went to Conflans. I stood next to a man who spent twenty minutes saying to his colleague:

"I heard them say at Poissy that there was a train for Cergy but I didn't believe them so I went to Maisons Lafitte, only to be told that to get to Cergy I needed to go to Poissy. But I heard them say at Poissy there was a train for Cergy but I didn't believe them so I went to Maisons Lafitte...."

After the third time I switched off. Zzzzz.

Vivement les vacances :)
