# I rarely
travel on trains, so always feel a little excited when I get in and they pull of...

Is this normal for a 27 year old...actually I dont care...

Edit: However, Oxford to Guildford does seem to take an unreasonably long time...

# I'm over 30 and I still love trains
even though I go on 4 of them every day (until September when I'll have to start taking the Motorbike to work). I don't love them in a nerdy way, but there's no finer way to commute than being able to have a good coffee while reading to paper.

people who complain about them are just the kind of person that whinge about everything, or never go on them

I've often got to take the journey from Manc Picc. to Lon. Eus. And as I hate taking the car to London, it's such a pain in the arse when it's there and always picking up tickets so as I'm only ever in London from a few days to a couple of months at a time I simply refuse to drive and the train is great . ( better than flying because I have to get a lift to The airport in Manc, takes half hour, ten the flight, then getting a lift from Lon. to the city, it's a pain in the arse and takes longer than the train door to door. )

# I get that feeling from riding on the underground
and also taking the escalator. Perfectly normal behaviour (I hope)

Yup. Snap there.

Further childish excitement from taking off and landing in planes...

Edit: this will probably make you chuckle then: xkcd.com/c252.html

I just get feelings of murder having to travel the Piccadilly line from Hammersmith to Green Park and back every day during rush hour. It's like Tokyo. I'm so glad to be back in rural Cheshire now with my feet up, choice of vehicles and windy lanes ;).

Actually I'm on the recliner with beer in hand eagerly awaiting the start of the Grand Prix de Catalunya. ( you know I'm a petrol head )

# Come on, I don't have
a 4x4 ( although I'm tempted to buy a Mitsubishi Animal ) And I don't burn peasants to release their carbon.

( although the combined cubic capacity of all vehicles currently owned by this household is approximately 12.65 litres. Wow. I never thought about that before. That's shocking.

# actually
I personally think living in the country _is_ a good reason to own a 4x4

depending upon your locality it can get quite horrific to get anywhere in bad weather

plus of course you are more likely to be using ufo's than public transport :D
