Almost 27,000. I had to stop a while ago to turn off my laptop and leave it standing on its side, as it was about to melt all over my legs.
I've made a Random Tube Traveller Generator, using lists and gaming dice. I wanted a story where one of the pages finds its way on to the tube and gets examined by a sequence of people, so I spent a whole afternoon putting this mechanism together (while Matt paraphrased Laurence Olivier(?) at me - "Just write, dear boy"). The result was interesting - I found myself wanting to program for the first time in years, so I could turn it into a web-toy and you could all come and generate characters like the elderly lady who is a workaholic cat-burglar, or the fourteen-year-old half-pint superhero.
Theory: Any piece of writing which involves short sketches of people on the tube will automatically sound exactly like 253.
