Yesterday evening, the platform at Stratford was particularly busy because some inconsiderate git had decided to off themselves at Bethnal Green at the peak of rush hour.
So, like the good Brit I am, I was queueing for the train. Over the 12 minutes it took a new train to come in, the space around me was slowly filled my more and more pinstriped suits and braying voices. It was, to say the least, heaving with people.
Now, heaving or not, I had been queueing, dammit, and I was getting on the next train first. The train pulled in, and a fellow with particularly wide pinstripes tried to shove his way in front of me. At this point, I grew massive elbows, and wormed my way on to the train.
Oh, how the people pushed, and oh, how the people shoved. Pin Stripe man, obviously angered about how he had to get on the train after me (can you imagine the indignity?), crushed his way on to the carriage - and, more importantly, started crushing me too. I let out a genuine "oh my god the air is being squeezed from my lungs and I fear I may die" kind of gasp. He questioned me:
"What's your farking problem?"
I replied, with the last air I had in my lungs, and at considerable volume:
"YOU'RE RAPING ME!"
He got off the train. And then, between Stratford and Wanstead, everybody was looking at me funny. So, b3ta, my question is this: when did you last falsely accuse a complete stranger?

I love you DiT, that is superb!
I can't remember the last time I falsely accused a complete stranger, as when I yell at them it's generally deserved (if a little harsh).
At Go Ape last weekend I did yell "Man the fuck up!" to a mate who was a bit scared, and some random 60 yr old woman told me to mind my language. I meekly apologised.

I've seen some great bands there - Blur, Super Furry Animals, Idlewild, Foo Fighters, James Brown, New Order, Manics, The Specials and loads more

The different stages have different acts - and there are lots. Pretty much don't go near the NME stage or the dance kind of tents. Both attract different types of arseholes.

You know how with some bands there's rather more to them than initially meets the eye (or ear)?
Well, The Manic Street Preachers are the antithesis of this. There really is nothing there. And titles like Interiors (Song For Willem DeKooning)simply say "Look at me, I know about art an that" when the song itself has nothing to say.
Also No 1 in an occasional series of "Cover Versions You'd Love To See"

Do you actually read the posts here?
This entire board is about using the same old jokes, that and ranting about people you hate, the occasional political debate and saying how much we like Tayyabs.
The other big thing done on these boards is insulting people, either for things they clearly haven't done, like being a smug cunt a la Vipros, or in your case, for being almost offensively dull. Most people take this in good humour, even the really horrifically offensive stuff, since this is a comedy website, where people generally want to read funny things, but you don't seem to get this.
And quite honestly, knowing that it winds you up is the reason I keep pointing out that you are actually less interesting than piston broke, because at least he goes along with it.
