  1. I had to share this with someone!

    1. This morning I get seat on tube after kings cross
    2. Homeless lady demands my seat off me soon after sitting down claiming unwell
    3. She sits, eyes rolling back, looks like shes just had a hit of crack
    4. I’m standing there thinking this is marmite – why should I have to vacate my hard earned seat cause she’s too wasted to stand up
    5. Lady beside homeless leaves, I get that seat
    6. I’m sitting there thinking ‘that’s a strange stench’ coming from the coughing, homeless lady
    7. Then BOOM! poor homeless lady SPEWS all over the place, missing my leg by an inch
    8. Spew going everywhere down the packed train with no one having anywhere to go
    9. I have to get off at next stop as nothing I could do to help/clean up etc..
    10. Entire Vitoria line delayed while they help a ‘passenger whose taken ill’ – my boss was on the train behind me that was held up

    = strange bunch of emotions that served up for breaky!
     
  2. I love the Tube!

  6. apparently David Bowie used to just sit on the circle line going round and round for hours - watching people and getting inspired.
     
  7. I have only seen 2 worse train lines in the world, Tokyo where they have blokes paid to "shove you in" and when you have a suitcase with you it ain't no fun, and India where they are hanging off the sides and sitting on the roof, and if you are lucky enough to get a seat on the train when it pulls into the station, you soon wish you were sitting on the roof as the train gets packed and the stench hits you

    I have always enjoyed my trips on the tube but then its never been for work but leisure.

    In winter time I get a seat and one each side as no one seems to what to seat next to a 6'3" bloke in shorts and flip flops >:D
