The human body is a remarkable thing, and in actual fact even though I'd like less of some bits and more of others, keeping it as it is would do me fine.

However, since you're asking, and having taken two and a half hours to do a 35 minute journey yesterday for the fourth time this month (and the additional 15, 20, and 30 minute delays I won't even bother to count), I'd like speed wheels on my feet.

You'd then have the open debate as to whether I'd be a pedestrian or traffic, and therefore whether I should be allowed on the pavement or stick to the road (and therefore stuck in the gridlock alongside the bus), which is a whole fresh can of worms.

It's a nice idea though. My first self-wheeled journey would be to Ken's office to give him a few suggestions on what to do with his Oyster card ;)
