I've no idea why you think
going to Oxford is any indicator of lack of retardness.

it's all relative
i would think someone who went to oxford would be guaranteed to be a lot less retarded than anyone who works for TFL, for example. like last night:

"this tube is suddenly changing its destination to one that doesn't suit any of the people who got on it thinking they were going home because it is running AN HOUR EARLY."

how? and why does it matter? it's the fucking tube, not the once a day train on a tiny branch line service in outer wales...

because I suspect it matters where the tube is later
when it's needed for something else. Rolling stock management is actually fairly complex.

Not, however, that it makes that any less annoying, I agree.

it is sweet that you think TFL is capable of concepts such as "rolling stock management"
virgin, maybe. south-eastern trains, maybe. silverlink, maybe.

TFL?

ROFL more like.

Oh, they are.
the tube would be even more fucked if they weren't. Considering what it has to handle, LU is really a remarkable piece of mass transport. Of course, it's fucking horrible to use, but all the money and intelligence in the world can't change that, becuase the problems are almost entirely associated with the vast number of people that use it.

You don't understand.
Occasionally it puts her out and isn't convenient.

I hope this helps.

I know, but it's like training a puppy
one day she'll get it and we'll all be over the moon.

And we can stop putting newspaper down on the carpet.

Firstly, excellent comeback. 10/10 there.
Secondly, why are you getting irritated that I'm pointing out the truth?
( Kroney, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:27, Reply)

i did laugh at my comeback though, glad you enjoyed it.

I more meant "it's your own fault for living in London"
but, yeah, whatever.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:22, Reply)

then you should have said that
however, i accept that i have finally worn you down to not bothering to argue, which i will take in the spirit of the glorious victory for me that you clearly intended it to be.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:25, Reply)

I never argue, my sweet, I banter.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:29, Reply)

oh is that what we're doing?
hang on then, i need to undo a couple more buttons for that.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:30, Reply)

ah, edgy banter
best of all the banter.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 3 Aug 2011, 10:43, Reply)

yes
we are separated only by these two flimsy top buttons.

and our computer screens.

and about 300 miles.

and the fact that we've never met.

but still. it's very edgy and very spicy.
