OMG - and mine too! I love HB's sketch, soooo funny.


Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.*


*PGW, of course.


Disclaimer: I'm incredulous at the title of this thread so hopefully I correctly assume it is here to provoke a reaction - perhaps someone needs to relax at the Drones Club?

Haven't read the whole thread so I could be repeating already posted views - apologies if that's the case.


It seems to me a simple case of good manners. If you see someone who looks as though they could do with a seat more than you (elderly, looking rough or ill, heavily pregnant, coping with babe in arms or toddler etc.etc.) then you offer them your seat. It's juts the way a civilised society works. You don't have to. If you need it more yourself, or you're an arse then don't offer it. It's your choice.


OP - I suggest you take your whingeing "but It's not fair" attitude back to Mummy (who luckily for you was pregnant herself once) so she can make it all better. On the other hand she might tell you to man-up & show some respect for your fellow members of the human race.

Hang on, sorry to come in to this a bit late, but 'I love Hona'? Such short memories some people have...

IT'S NOT SO LONG SINCE HE CAME OUT AS A SELF-PROCLAIMED EVIL GENIUS HELL BENT ON WORLD DOMINATION, Y'KNOW!!

I recall he once even cited Rosa Krebbe as the ideal Evil Genius's bird, and you know what they say about judging a man by the company he keeps. Don't be fooled, one day he'll have you enraptured by his studious and hilarious ignoring of misanthropic ne'er-do-well trolls, and you all adore him BUT having diverted your attention he'll spring his fiendish trap of evil geniusness and we'll all be his slaves.

He's probably even got a Bond villain-style secret undergroud HQ from which to mastermind his plans (maybe located under Sydenham woods- all the 'beast of Sydenham woods' rumours are just a decoy. It worked for that other Evil Genius, Dr No). I wouldn't be suprised if 'jrussel' is just one of HB's henchmen, ordered to start this thread specifically to distract us from, y'know, all his Evil Genius type stuff.


What we need is a volunteer to be his nemesis...


I'm thinking "The name's Max, Ted Max" has a certain ring to it...

If pregnant people should pay more for the ticket because they need some extra space, then I suppose that overweight people should do the same. Or people who are simply too big. Maybe we should measure the price of the ticket by weight. ;-)

Ooh, there are days I'd gladly pay a premium for a double seat just for me and my handbag. Where can I sign up?


Also think that people who stink of fags should have to pay a six-times premium, to create a little barrier of fresh air between them and the poor mugs who have to sit next to them.


Thin people could get a discount if they're thin enough to cram three on a seat.

We could solve this whole business by making people pay per-pound. With the pay as you go oyster business it would be pretty easy to build a scales into the floor of the barriers that weighs you and then deducts the requisite amount from your card.




?Sorry I can?t come into work today. I?m too fat.?

Hmmm - the plan would need a couple of tweaks - the average weight of a heavily pregnant women would still be less than the average man AND they would still get the seat.


So I am (this is sooo tedious but I can?t help it) compelled to ask yet again to the poster why does it cost (the new revised figure) of 50% more to transport a pregnant women?

The presence of an extra consciousness causes friction in the ether which in turn adds to the drag on the train carriage thereby increasing fuel costs.*


It all makes perfect sense really once you decide to approach it from the point of view of paranormal physics.



*Same as with demonically possessed people and those with multiple personality disorder and we already charge them double don?t we?

They generally get an entire carriage.

...in which to commit carnage.

It could be called the mayhem and bloody slaughter carriage.

Of course, Brendan, of course.

It all makes sense now, the scales have fallen from my eyes.


Now let's get 'em picked up sharpish and start weighing pregnant birds at bustops, there's dough in this somewhere, I can feel it in me water.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
