Have you
 
Ever noticed that underground trains are kinda like squashed baked bean cans from the inside.

Long, squashed baked bean cans.

I must admit that particular observation has passed me by; probably because on the rare occasions I bimble about on the underground I tend to hide away in a daydream.

I haven't, we don't have them up here! But I've been on them once and I like the sound they make, like some jazzy music innit! *calms down*

Cacoethes 01-09-2013 07:50 PM

I just noticed it about 10 minutes ago! Its so weird!

Buttons. 02-09-2013 07:47 AM

Ha ha I will have to see next time I go on one!!

Cacoethes 02-09-2013 09:21 AM

In hindsight, this was a very odd thing to make a thread about!!!

Lol, your unique way of seeing the world makes me smile.
Also yes, very random. :P

Sketchy 02-09-2013 07:12 PM

haha they do indeed.

Cacoethes 02-09-2013 07:22 PM

It wouldn't even have to be just baked beans, it could be a tin of soup, or tinned fruit or something.

The underground seems to fit more with baked beans though.

I've always thought it's a game of sardines gone bad. :-p

Cacoethes 02-09-2013 08:25 PM

It is most of the time!! :p

Maybe they should make the trains flatter, like a tin of sardines....

Never let me be in charge of any public transportation

On.My.Way 02-09-2013 08:27 PM

Haha make them flat and put beds in them... what a way to travel!

I miss the tube, not been on it in a few weeks.

Cacoethes 02-09-2013 08:34 PM

that would be awesome!

but I can imagine soooo many commuters falling asleep and missing their stop!

I always find it quite weird how you can get off at a station and there will be a different station in eyesight of the one you've just got off.
It's like, why do you need the stations so close together?!

I suppose that's what comes from living in Hertfordshire, convenient public transport is alien to me :P

Sketchy 02-09-2013 10:30 PM

The underground scares me. I haven't been on it in a while because it doesn't go near where I live. The underground in Glasgow isn't that big.

I vote Becky for Head of Public Transport!

Haha we should so make this happen and then come up with a loud alarm to wake people up at each stop :-p

Haha I get that by living in Norfolk but when I lived in Wattyford I had good public transport - I miss it... especially having the tube 10 mins from my house.

Seconded!

Cacoethes 02-09-2013 11:12 PM

I didn't even realise they had underground in Glasgow!
And yay! It should totally happen! ;p

Now, a lot of people say Watford is London, but I have always been under the impression that it is Hertfordshire. On the Harry Potter poster things, it says it's London and it's on the Met line, but I go to court in Watford and that's because it falls under West Hertfordshire. I get so confused!

The underground in Brussels was quite scary, within 5 minutes of me being on the train, someone got mugged!
But what is good is that there are no seats next to each other, they are just single seats, which is amazing! :p

Well it is in Hertfordshire, my old address used to be Watford, Herts but a lot of people do associate it with London and it does have a tube stop, and is just outside Greater London. If people ask me where I'm from I say London or just outside London and then if they say where I say Watford. It's easier to explain it that way as some people only know the place because of the tube line... or think of the Watford Gap which is no where near haha.

Cacoethes 03-09-2013 12:07 AM

Ah, that makes sense!
I generally don't even try to explain where I live to people who don't live in the immediate surrounding area!
I can go just half an hour on the train and people there haven't even heard of where I live. :ermm:

Ninja Orange 03-09-2013 02:34 PM

This thread could not have been made by anyone other than you, Beckie :P I didn't even remember your new username, but I recognised you by the weirdness of the topic.

Cacoethes 03-09-2013 03:22 PM

ANNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Good to know that I have a recognisable kind of weirdness ;p
I'm actually quite proud!
