Are the trains getting busier?
capt_birdseye replied to peckhamboy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I squeezed onto the 8.36 this morning and trod on some poor lady's foot. To make it worse I couldn't actually remove my foot until the doors closed. She didn't look impressed, despite my apologies. The 8.41 is a winner though, you can always get a seat on that one. -
I got off the train at ED station at about 17:00 on wednesday and there were loads of youths being detained and searched by lots of police just outside the ticket office.

Apologies then. It seems I have fish and finger pie all over my face.

Can't be right Tillie, Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields never made it to Number 1 in the UK, they were controversially held off the top spot by Englebert Humperdink's "Last Waltz" - yes I am a nerd.

We've filled in one Royal Mail form already and are awaiting the next. I guess we'll wait a couple of months and try someone else's free trial!

It seems like the Mums of ED can't win, usually they're knocked for spending too much on their children's clothes and now too little! You've got to love the forum!

My birthday No 1 - Slade Merry Xmas Everyone (the first time around, I wonder if it sounded quite fresh back then).

We've just cancelled our Lovefilm subscription after the 3 month free trial expired. In that time we had 1 disc not work and 2 go missing in the post. That didn't inspire me to continue with the subscription I must say. Are the Royal Mail particularly adept at losing obvious DVDs?

Talking of Zombies, saw the Descent the other night - fantastic film, very scary!

The adventure game was doog yrev! Knightmare was crap, apart from Dungeonmaster said "WARNING TEAM!!!" at then end.

Or just say "no thanks" and then follow him at a distance to see if he gets into a car or goes into a house. You can then pass on the details to the rozzers. -
I saw a tiny sign at London Bridge a few weeks back mentioning that the winter timetable would soon be coming into force. That'll probably explain the change.

There's nothing wrong with mid-table obscurity.

Wasn't that the Steve Miller Band?! The Jamiroquai song doesn't mention Maurice.

I had Jah Lush down more as Frankie Howerd, what with all the double-entendres...

I'm surprised you dared look at him *Bob*, he normally sits at the back of the bus, intimidating people.

I saw them having a heated argument with officers of the law a few weeks ago and they were angrily jesticulating at the car. -
Just looked on Wikipedia and none of the Petrellis or Syler died! What a cop out.
