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.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
