Other than reading, listening to ipods, sleeping or just sitting there thinking about nothing specific.

Tidying up the carriages?

Or conversing with sad looking people?


NO

thats boring


I know

I was just telling you that I wasn't gonna do that


I don't think it's a crap idea

it's just that knitting gives me a shoulder and head ache


move people down

so that no one can say 'can you please move down'


by whilstling

and hand movements

Come by


Tap Dance

saw a guy tap dancing for money the other day, possibly the WORST busking thing ever, well, maybe morris dancing would be worse. I'm not sure, i'd actually pay for them to fuck off


lap dancing busking

free tube fairs


flirt. flirt your bollocks (or lady bits) off

I thought that was why my daily hour in the morning, hour in the evening on the tube was invented.


Get romantic with a stranger.

That's what I do. If im on a carriage with a sexy laydee and they so much as catch my eye, being a narcissist I think "Oh my god they fancy me too! That's completely justifiable!"

Then I spend the rest of the journey trying to look really cool: as if there's a cool way to sit on the underground.

I'm basically a doofus.


exercise

using the poles n stuff (polesecise - pole dancing moves for fitness)


the standing game.

where you have to stand in the middle of the open-noseat-bit. you're not allowed to hold onto the railings. the idea is not to fall over. but you get more points on how suave you look while you don't fall over. it's fun. ish.


my tube journey is

about 45 minutes, I think I might just sleep


Wow

I do that. You have to stand with your legs apart without looking like too much of a whore.


Drink alcohol


this is a good one but

getting caught is a worry


staring at people

Looking over someone's shoulder at them playing tetris
checking out the technology
reading someone's 'reading level of 12' book over their shoulder
laughing at cute 15 year old boys reading 'elements of desire' or something like that

Last time I was on a bus there was this guy

reading "Sex in victorian england".
The thing is, he was holding up the book at eyeline so pretty much everyone could see he was reading a seedy little book, and he also had the biggest grin across his face and kept doing heavy breathing and sort of snorting and laughing to himself.

And he looked like a charicature of a pedophile.


You caught me!

:D


what about the

group of ten girls like me doing
1. Staring at people


i had a friend...

a really filthy friend, who could make herself climax just by clenching her thighs and stuff. i used to love her stories of how many times she'd done it on the tube/ at her desk/ in the cinema...


i miss her

that said, she was mad as a carpet


a proper mad carpet

that is


writing stories

about the people on the tube or character biogs?


Nice idea

but it doesn't inspire me


I'm just lazy

and I have no discipline


Draw moustaches on everybody

(or just on pictures of people in the metro/londonlite if you're feeling unambitious)


Copy threads from dis

and ask people for replies.
Write everything down and then choose the best answers in the evening and post them.


Lego

Frottage
Sly guffs
Pretend you're the host of "Movies Games and Videos" and review each station stop
Lie to strangers
Open the window at the end of your carriage and stand next to it. See what the breeze does to your hair. Document each windy-do over the course of your journey with a camera. Does this every day. At the end of the week pick your favourites and send the photos to your Mum.


we developed a Gladiators type game....

On a quiet train infront of the doors one competitor hanging off the middle bars, then using only your legs you have to get the person to fall to the ground.

Much fun.
