...... sad bastards?

especially when they're in the middle of a crowded central line tube at 9.30am on a thursday.

especially when they don't hold onto the pole things when the train starts to leave every station, thereby falling into you and/or standing on your foot.

especially when they THEN push in front of you to get off the train.

he was short. i'm going for 'short man complex'

bloody bastard. grr. fuckwit.

you may add your 'i hate ____ today' below.

thanks.

...

shoulda just pushed him infront of the trian when you had the chance.


you

was he playing diamond or pearl? i'm going to assume that a suited man wouldn't have the integrity to know that the previous generations were far superior. he should've been playing leaf green really, it's the best pokémon you can play on a ds. until they put gold on a ds/gba cartridge :( oh how i wish they would do that. backlit pokémon gold - the stuff of dreams.


:D

I love that post.


i dunno.

it looked gash. as pokemon is gash. all i could see was '_______ lumpo'


take it back


fuck yeah


i never liked pokemon as a child

i just preferred playing football


I sometimes get the tube to work now!

No-one was playing any games this morning though. But there was a pretty lady with a lip piercing reading a newspaper. Will that do?


if i owned a DS

and pokemon and had any reason to get on the central line tube, id happily stand on your foot if it meant some quality time with my pikachu


is it Thursday already?

or did this happen last week?


*WEDNESDAY

apologies.


Bethnal Green was a haven for wankers this morning

Especially the fake tanned skinny jeans wearing cunt, who pushed me out of the way while I was letting people off the train so he could get on. Pushing a man in the back while he's helping people out, what a cunt.

Yeah because you're THAT important that you need to be where you're going three minutes before me and can't be doing with one of the principles upon which civilization is based on, the humble queue.

I wished I'd pulled him back out and beaten him up now


Either at 8:15 or 8:45

Sadly delays today so I was there from 8:20 to 8:45


WOH.

i thought i had it bad when i had to watch 3 tubes go by rammed with people.


You're fucking lucky to get on at Bethnal Green ever I reckon.

I barely squeeze on at Mile End and feel sorry for those at BG.


it's only cos i get on at 9.30

i get there earlier and watch people smush themselves on.


Obviously you need to position yourself at the back end of the train

as that's always emptiest at Mile End.


I've taken to walking to

Liverpool street given the cuntiness of that journey and it's denizens. My favourite was last week: some fashionista irritant of a student whining at every jammed packed tube that came past that "ohh I've got an exam in 10 minutes, it's just -ridiculous-, why can't you -move down-, it's so so -ridiculous-, NHEEEE"
1. you're fucked, you've missed it hopefully.
2. shut up.
3. fuck off.
4. fuck you.


If you hadn't said he was short

I'd have had to assume it was my ex. He would quite happily play Pokemon for hours, days, weeks, quite probably on the tube if need be, whilst wearing a long leather coat. And sometimes a cowboy style hat. Eurgh.


What can I say

I was young and foolish and didn't realise the level of obsession until it was too late.
The problems started when I grew up a bit and he was still playing Pokemon and Zelda and watching Transformers at 23.


he sounds awesome


Sounds it

but isn't. More boresome.


:D

Am I responsible for some of the Transformers watching? Whoops!


Well, it's a bit stupid isn't it?

It's so obviously going to get stolen. Especially if he's short.


Well as the recession kicks in

former white-collar criminals may be forced into a life of mugging and petty drug dealing


You have to earn £100k a year to use the tube?

How do they enforce that one?


eye scans.


Scrotes can't afford the tube

and if they can, they don't get out of bed in the morning.

And anyway, they already spent all their dole on Nintendo DS so they don't need any more of them.


I've been there before....

It feels about the least safe place ever. All the people look shifty. Even the ones in suits. They probably just go around in a suit on the underground all day long stealing stuff because people think they're rich and apparently therefore trustworthy and steal things.


Oh right, because there is absolutely no crime on the tube, yeah?

And no criminal is intelligent enough to think they're less likely to be suspected when looking reasonably well-off.... sigh.


Shush.


as if

have you ever even played it? fucking idiot dick.


Yeah I have, you massive moron clunge!

It was shit. It was shit when it came out. Just some piece of crap for little kids like Cabbage Patch dolls and He-Man.


You talking fly about He-Man?

So help me God


don't you like buffy?

Yeah? YEAH!


Yup. Buffy rocks.

People have their skin removed! :D

Pokemon is something for 7am on a weekday morning with Timmy Mallet and the rest of the bozos. Go-Bots Go Botty. *sigh*


clearly you weren't playing it correctly

just because you're not very good at something it doesn't mean it's bad :9


Meh, like I say

It's just in the same group as Power Rangers, Teletubbies, Transformers et al. - just kids' flavour of the month crap that only matters to that narrow generation that were forcefed the combined margeting onslaught while their poor parents were made poorer by constant demands to buy the latest play for five mins then throw away piece of plastic crap. The real depths of cynical marketing bullshit.


:(

the games were art.


Who's worse

some bloke playing a game on a train to pass the time or someone who has observed this bloke and decided to let a bunch of people know about it on an internet forum?

It's the second one by the way.


The point is

his method of passing the time impaired his ability to be considerate to fellow passengers


The point is

it's yet another post about how someone has been annoyed by a stranger being inconsiderate but won't say anything to them but just come on here and moan instead.


So?

We could probably all be doing more productive things right now, rather than posting ultimately pointless crap on here, you included


Lads, lads.

Back to back, two paces forwards, then swing your handbags.


You besmirched He-Man earlier

so you can fuck right off!


this reads like

the alt-text on an achewood strip


Do you believe me now

about how ridic the central line tube is in the morning?!

THAT'S WHY I WAS LATE FOR ATP LAST YEAR!!!!

When will you learn to take my word as law.


20mins actual tube travel time should've been ok-ish

i just couldn't get on the tube.

and i refer you to this
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2799176#r2799309

booya!


i admit defeat.

but not on the part where you try to blame the central line on your lateness!

(also, you massive loser)


Fine...

I admit defeat on my part too. Admittedly I did leave 20minutes later than intended BUT the central line did thwart my efforts considerably!

And, you're just jealous of my super memory powers and google skillz.


Has to be said Emma, she's got you there.

20 minutes? Are you utterly insane?


ACTUAL TUBE TIME

would've been kinda ok-ish. TFL says 26mins, if that means anything at all....
