Boris Wants to Scrap Bendy Buses in Favour of a "Modern Routemaster"

justMouse Tubed in this AM. It was miserable all the way from Hammersmith to Holborn.

WHY DO PEOPLE PUT UP WITH IT?

nice try Fatboy ralph, but the correct answer is ;

BECAUSE THEY ARE BRITISH

the british will put up with just about anything.

nimhbus [quote]Skullhead Gimme a falafel in my comfy living room any day. There. Proof that I am right.

so in your world falafel is the epitome of futuristic food?

hell, they ate them on the space shuttle![/quote]

Also living rooms are not exactly cutting edge. Falafels are an example of food that requires some agriculture (therefore a non-stone age product), a big fuck off deep fat fryer, lots of kinds of nice salads, tahina, chili sauce and pickles (quite sophisticated), and I really would prefer them to eating people. Surely that makes them eligable in my slightly odd tangent^^. BTW, my pedantic nature forces me to remind you : I am in the same world as you. Just so you know, earthling.

You're at Waterloo FFS! Anywhere in central London is pretty much a 20 minute walk max. They'd happily wait double that for a bus. AUTOMOTONS!

edit: Sorry to hear about the abortive start to the day FBR - God's way of telling you to take a sicky?

True. But we'll complain about the fact that we'll put up with just about anything incessenantly!

If Rapha ran the buses, tickets would be more expensive, but they'd be made from small patches of rubber cut from the cast-off tubulars of yesteryear's cycling heroes. And Oyster cards would have a discrete pearl embedded in the corner, which carries a small inscription telling of how riders from the Tour de France of yore would get off their bikes at Marseille and dip their feet in the sea; and if they found a pearl lodged between their toes it was seen as a positive omen from Neptune, who, unbeknownst to most, was almost as keen a cycling fan as Mercury.

Bored.

Discrete as in separate? Or discreet as in modestly unobtrusive?

IN YOUR FACE library boy!

i wish. if i weren't on contract, sickie wouldve been the easy STFU option

Discreet, obviously. These things will occasoinally happen when you can touch type at 90wpm :P

In *your *face, Tory Boy.

Type-poolenger

Calm down chaps. Remember, one thing that unites us all. Boris is an idiot.

Anyone seen the vending machines for Oyster cards? £3 a pop for a PAYG - good idea instead of queuing up to get one.
Keep meening to put Auto top-up on mibne as i am always caught out when i need it most!

Yay! - STFU is the new HTFU. I am soooo proud :-)

You will never top my theft of HTFU.. damn softengers!

what does that mean then?

Much as I dislike them, I'd rather have a gazillion bendy buses than 1 Mayor Boris.

+1
this post pretty much sums it up really

what does that mean then?

C is '1 ruder' than F, therefore it tops hippy's patented HTFU, irrespective of his bragging over thieving it.

(I've no idea why it refused to capitalize all the letters though)

CCCC to the power of C full stop, no returns.

Stop whingeing, and HTCU.

HTCU? Harden the Cunt up!!!

oh thats wat it means i was so confused

c x 10^c

HTFFU.

ahhh politics... all too often a choice between a complete c*nt, a useless c*nt and a couple of irrelevant c*nts.

i usually pick the irrelevant c*nt, because at least i'm not endorsing either of the other c*nts.

What has everyone got against Boris??

Yeah he's a lunatic, granted, but I reckon London under him would be interesting.

He's also a conservative. That's a deal breaker for many people.

He reminds me of former mayor of Toronto Mel Lastman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Lastman#Controversies), but crazier (albeit also funnier).
