[Panel 1]
[Ginny]
Where were you yesterday?
Weren't you supposed to be back
from visiting Yves in Paris?
[Nils]
Yeah, but apparently it's strike
season. I got to Paris-Nord and
suddenly there weren't any trains.
"Mouvement Sociale" or something.
Nobody was saying much, just
shrugging expressively.
[Panel 2]
[Ginny]
Ah, Gare du Nord, the romantic
gateway to Paris... hang on,
don't you always fly anyway?
[Nils]
Yeah, but the beancounters
are being "carbon neutral"
this week and would only
pay for the train ticket.
[Ginny]
And not for your
extra time, of course...
[Panel 3]
[Nils]
So all the boards were blank
except for the Thalys, and that
doesn't go anywhere useful.
[Ginny]
Being fair, it would
take you to Brussels
very fast. Or Cologne.
[Nils]
My point.
[Jaakko]
There's good beer in
both those places.
[Panel 4]
[Nils]
It's not good beer if I
have to pay for it myself.
[Jaakko]
Haven't you looked up the rules
on company travel lately? They
have to pay for a hotel if you
can't get back, so you just put
all the beer on your room bill.
[Nils]
And where were you when I
needed you to tell me that?
