Riding the train has been made easier working on a peach of a job, throw in experiencing some of the \u2018new\u2019 London around Kings Cross and I\u2019m happy.<\/p>\n<p>I just hope my producer\u2019s nose returns to flatland too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My producer went flying the other day.
