Big up the tube drinkers

[Dravinian]

Please list the times you've recently been "inconvenienced" by someone drinking on the tube, and detail the exact nature of the inconvenience caused. Thanks.

How about getting to work and stinking of special brew despite being tea total?

How about getting up from the seat and sticking to it as the alcohol has seaped into your suit trousers, hey just another a few quid down the dry cleaners, no inconvenience there.

How about getting on a carriage after a long days work and realising that it absolutely stinks of special brew and is making you want to heave, and you halfway between stations and somewhat stuck, hey no inconvenience to travel down the carriage, open the window and hold your head there, no inconvenience to have to get up at the next station and move to the next carriage, in the hope that it too doesn't stink of special brew.

 

[JTG]

Now its a massive problem?

Despite the fact that I have used the Term MINOR in capitals atleast 3 times, but no, now it is a massive problem.

Laughable really.

Ah so it really is a minor problem.

Why bother making such a song and dance about this ban then? Why bother at all?

 

[Dravinian]

Bizarre authoritarian nonsense



The absolute pissheads must have been pissed when they got on. So drinking alcohol on the tube is not the problem here is it?

As has been pointed out several times.

Yet you completely ignore the fact that they no longer have an open can of beer on them to spill.

Yeah just ignore that part, lets pretend it is about drunkness as FridgeMagnet has suggested, that is an easier argument a circular one that doesn't go anywhere and doesn't require you to answer the point.

With no open cans of beer, no beer will be spilt.

Because it is also just a minor inconvenience to go without actively drinking alcohol for a short Tube Journey.

A small inconvenience for a small benefit.

What, these things have actually happened to you or are you making it up to back your position?

Nothing like that has happened to me in the ten years I've been using the tube.

How about being set upon by gangs of tube goblins who pour in through the windows at the end of the carriage, hold you down and jam Bacardi Breezers into your every orifice before smearing you with brewer's yeast?

 

[editor]

Cause i share the use of that carriage.

So it's now the smell of alcohol being drunk that offends you? You must have a pretty amazing sense of smell to be able to detect beer being drunk unless you're sat right next to them. And then of course, you could just move if your hyper sensitivities are being offended.

What about perfumes and aftershaves? There's quite a few I don't like much come to think of it, so there's just as strong a case for banning it by your logic.

There are absolute pissheads falling all over the place, there still are you will insist, but I will simply say yes but now they don't have an open can of special brew in their hand.

And how often have you personally been inconvenienced by someone drinking on the tube? Go on, list the times.

As for me it's..... *thinks....... *tries to remember.....nope, I can't recall any times in the last five years..

Now I'll have to make up a new story for smelling of booze when I get to work Damn Boris!

 

[JTG]

Stupid, goalpost moving nonsense.

As is usual with Dravinian.

Your obsession with the smell of tube carriages sounds a bit OCD to me

 

[Citizen66]

Heaven help anyone trying to choose a restaurant to take him to that has no alcohol or strong food odours!

[Dravinian]

Oh well if in your anecdotal experience it never happens, since you posting I assume you never been shot and killed, so that must never happen to anyone else either then.

I have never, ever, ever accidentally sat in a tube seat soaked in beer and I don't believe you have either (surely hyper sensitive sense of smell would have prevented that happeneing?).

I've never got into a rush hour tube that had such a heady whiff of Special Brew permeating the carriages that people were barfing wildly.

You're making all this up now. You must live in a dystopian Special Brew fantasy world.

It clearly only happens to whingeing tee-totallers Dravinian. Perhaps the alcohol knows who you are and lies in wait.

Oh right, so now it is just rush hour tubes, you mean the ones that come out of the paddock early in the morning after being cleaned of an evening, you mean they never stink...wow amazing. Or you mean all the extra ones they lay on of an evening soecially for the rush, that also have been cleaned, they don't tend to stink either.

Wow, thankfully that is the only time we use the Tube so thats ok then.

I think it is more of a case that you have an opinion and you want it to be correct.

How many times have you accidentally sat in a tube seat so soaked with beer that you had to send your suit off to the dry cleaners, and what had happened to your self proclaimed ultra-keen sense of smell in these instances?

So now you're claiming you know how often trains are taken out of service to be cleaned. Amazing!

"Paddock!" They're trains dude, not buffaloes. LMFAO

 

[DotCommunist]

Darv, it's 'teetotal' from the story about the stammering member of some early Temperance Society who is reputed to have claimed nothing but tee-tee-tol abstinence' would do.

And stop mentioning spesh as if it's the universal drink of choice man, you're doing so in order to connect the idea of a beer on the tube with drunkards

Exactly. He's forgetting the Purple Tin and Ace

I have never, ever, ever accidentally sat in a tube seat soaked in beer..

What? You've done it on purpose Wierdo.

 

[JTG]

The old purple tin,
The old purple tin,
Sweet testament Lord,
To the state that I'm in,
I've drunk it all day,
And I've drunk it all night,
The old purple tin,
Oh Lord, lights up my life

.

I have, a few months ago just before the ban started. It was only 3.30 in the afternoon and these two chavs were pissed and drinking more beer, it was so crowded every time someone knocked into them when they were getting on/off the train they were spilling the beer.

Why are people replying to this thread, when they could just link to the ones we had a few months ago and save themselves the effort?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Cos people didn't get the message 1st time round

Fucking newb

It's the internet and people are wrong

Well that's certainly more than enough to implement an immediate and permanent city-wide ban.

 

[claphamboy]

So what happens if you are caught drinking on the tube? Do you get a fixed penalty notice?

Only that would make Dravinian’s head explode!

 

[editor]

Once you've finished breathing Special Brew fumes over every person on the tube and carefully pouring any surplus beer into the seats ready for the next besuited arse to dampen, if caught, you would be asked to give up your can or face being thrown off the system.

 

[JTG]

Wooh scary.

An effective fine of what, 80p or so?
