Vomit on the 176 (Lounged)

[SeanMacGabhann]

I had no idea everyone was so.... out of control!

First and only time in 15 years was I ill recently but I managed to make it back indoors first

[seanmlow]

Right - vomit stories here we come!

I once vomited after a rather bumpy ride on the 12 - it was after i had been thrown off the bus by the driver at Dulwich library. No one stopped to help!

Sorry, Keef. It won't happen again :)-D

I think I'm gonna steer well clear of the 176 from now on. It would appear to be full of serial pukers from East Dulwich who can't hold their drink. Pathetic.(6)

It could get worse. People may read the title to this thread as a suggestion or worse, a challenge.

In my experience the 185 is more likely to smell of vomit that the 176. The 176 normally smells like stale chips.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Definitely agree about the 185 - but I think that's the material combined with engine design. Not EVERY 185 can smell of genuine puke surely? BUt every one I get on has that smell

thats why they should bring back the routemaster,you could just hang off the back,do the deed,continue on your journey and not offend fellow passengers.

I was just thinking the same. I wonder if TFL took into account the vomit factor when they introduced new buses. The Routemaster offered easy escape and good ventilation. I have myself jumped from a moving 12 to be sick on Peckham High Street.

Apart from bouncing up on down on a bendy bus, you're sealed in, no where to go. It's a disaster waiting to happen. You can't even realistically try a window. What can you expect?

[Domitianus]

I would like to propose that the 176 be renamed The Chunder Bus?

Spadetownboy; As a Cyclist may I oppose to that idea?

[spadetownboy]

no chance

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

How gross!! In all the years I have drank, I have never got to the state that I would need to vomit!

I guess my nana weaning me on rum as a child helped me in handling my drink!

Maybe you need to learn not to mix your drinks/drink on an empty stomach/drink booze that doesn't agree with you/become teetotal ( delete as applicable) in order not to get on the bus and make your fellow passengers have to hold their noses and turn their head away from your vomit!

Oh else, instead of boarding a bus, find a doorway and sleep it off!>:D<

I have been on the 176 after a very drunken night up west and someone boarded the bus with his mate and just bowed his head down and vomited whilst his mate sat there pretending not to see it, they both then got up and just got off at their stop and some poor passenger who went to sit in his seat step right into his vomit and turned green......urgh!!!

I think I will avoid going to any events with you lot, it looks like I will have to bring sick bags!

Fair enough

[Domitianus]

Let's not keep bringing up this subject.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Could we institute the ED Barfta Awards?

[bluecanary]

OMG! I'm shocked to the core, to the core I tell you!

[ed_pete]

...only if you can reach the back. Got on crowded 2B at tulse hill one rush hour morning and was standing downstairs between the bench seats that were opposite each other. Woman standing next to me honked, mostly down herself and just missed me. Probably morning sickness.

And to think I was going to recommend the 176 to my parents as the best way to and from the west end on Saturday ........ hmmmmm what time does it turn into the chunder bus?

[Keef]

Don't worry Clare, as long as they're not coming back pissed up at 2am they should be fine.

[ClareC]

If that were the case they would fit in well ;-)

I think they will be tucked up in bed by 2am, unless of course they get lost looking for the chunder bus stop ;-)

I think I have been fortunate to date in my 176 experiences..... I did see a chap asleep but still eating his bag of chips once, I suppose that may have been a near chunder experience ?!?!

[Keef]

Is that because your housemate always carries you in to a taxi and puts you to bed? ;-)

[ClareC]

that may explain it...... ;-)

[Barry Rhode]

Surely puking up on Peckham High Street or Walworth Road would be considered an improvement to the area?

[Keef]

Tsk tsk, that's not nice.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Funny though ....
