When I’m working in London, I tend to get very early (therefore emptier) tube trains to do so. Automatically therefore I feel an extra sense of entitlement. So if I don’t get the entire block of four seats all to myself for my entire journey on the met line, it ruins my mood for the whole morning.
Be glad you don't use the Central Line, the first trains into London are usually full by the time they leave Leytonstone.
I loathe the central line. I recently got on a train at Tottenham Court Road which was heaving. The train went no-where for 15 mins with the tannoy saying the delays was due to a track being discharged at Leytonstone - what does that even mean to a lay person?! I eventually just got off, drenched in sweat, left the station, got on a bus and was late for my meeting
They should make it clearer. "Traction current discharged" means they've switched off the the electric supply that powers the trains (we call it "juice").
They usually switch off the juice so that the "P Way" people can carry out a repair to the rails and/or remove an obstruction without electrocuting themselves (to get "juiced up").

Our commuter trains are double deckers, the upper level seats are singletons and thus much prized, my station is the end of the line so I am always able to secure one in the morning, but like barracks, if I have to sit amongst the great unwashed on the lower level on my ride home, it definitely ruins my mood
Or when a your barber holds the mirror up to show you the back of your head and you nod and say 'yep, that's great', even if he's shaved a phallus in your hair
Don’t know if it has been posted elsewhere but Balbuena was sent off for Paraguay v Brazil the other day. Still, could have been worse, better than coming off injured.
Someone has come up with and are using quite frankly horrendous twitter names (I had originally posted them but changed my mind, as I think they are just too offensive).
It would seen to fall within the definition of 'hateful conduct' and specifically the prohibition on
'Hateful imagery and display names: You may not use hateful images or symbols in your profile image or profile header. You also may not use your username, display name, or profile bio to engage in abusive behavior, such as targeted harassment or expressing hate towards a person, group, or protected category.
I guess they don't do anything about it because they can't be bovvered, and the policy is there to make them look good and cover their bottoms, but they don't actually care.
Spurs have downgraded their home game against us to Category B for next season. Maybe they are struggling to sell tickets as we are undefeated at their ground

Think I might go back to bed.

I am thinking about contacting the press complaints commission as that is a downright misleading statement.
They were not amused. :biggrin:
Or a free limp to first base...

Can it be explained to me why Twitter allow this?
