You stumble into the train station on your way to work, still half-asleep, wishing you had given yourself enough time to stop for a coffee on your way. “Why do I always do this?” you wonder. “I feel like sleepy garbage.” Your Metrocard refuses to register with the card-swiper while you hear your train pulling into the station. Rushing, nearly crying, making it only harder for yourself to swipe the stupid card, you see something in the distance. “Is that…” wiping the sleep from your eyes, refocusing, you look again. “Thomas? Bates? What is the Earl of Grantham doing posing with the help?” You look around to see if anyone else can see what you’re seeing. “DOWNTON ABBEY” you scream. “YOU SEE ME SEE? DOWNTON. ME SEE DOWNTON. WHERE YOU ARE YOU SEE DOWNTON TOO?” You are so tired and you make no sense. “THOMAS. TERRIBLE THOMAS. WHY THOMAS? BATES!” Still struggling with your Metrocard you see the Downton gang snap a photo and head down the steps, just in time to catch the train you should be catching yourself. As soon as they leave your sight your card works and you enter the station, running to where you saw them last. Alas, you are too late. Where they ever really there? Was it all a wonderful dream?

time travel is real.
Can you tell me where I can catch the 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 trains?
They are all so cute! I’m seriously jonsing for some Downton. Anyone know when it starts up again?

I think January 6th? I just watched a Downton mini marathon last weekend and they had a pledge drive afterwards and I think that’s when they said it was coming back. One of the gifts during the pledge drive was getting season 3 earlier than when it would air, but it would still be 3-5 weeks for shipping… so not really. I opted for the tote bag. It’s really cute… or will be when I get it. It has little honey bees on it, which is a pun on the designer and the OPB name.
Thanks! That will be a nice post-Christmas treat.
We’re getting a Christmas special, I don’t know whether they might tack that on the end of the new series for you – but avoid internet etc around the 25th, around about 9pm UK time! (I’d offer to watch it but am the only Brit who doesn’t like I’m afraid!)
Meanwhile, on the uptown platform…
wow
Aaah beat me to it. I would much prefer to travel uptown.

Why’s Thomas there? I thought he died during the big Grantham chili explosion.
Has anyone seen the sitcom 2012 where Hugh Bonneville is a planner for the London Olympics?
Yes I saw that! It was so funny in a dry British way. Can’t remember what it was called….
TwentyTwelve! I remembered!
does this mean Bates is free?

There’s a Mexican restaurant in the East Village called Downtown Bakery and I always call it Downton Bakery and say things to my wife like “I can’t wait for Senora Padmore to make me some enchiladas.”
You had to be there I guess.
