A quote on another forum:

'What if a group of youngsters trashed a bus and then offered to pay for it, would that be OK?'

This thread is funny. And it makes me want to go on the tube just so I can have a drink. In fact, does anyone fancy a little party on the circle line?

You actually went through and counted them? That's rather sad actually.

That's not very nice. Of course I didn't. If you click on the link to 'posts' it brings up a screen with a breakdown of the posters and how many posts they've made on that thread.

You've made more than double anyone else. Now at 92 compared to the next, minnie-the-minx, at 40.

Maybe ... is there a facebook event for it?

We could make one



Of course it wouldn't get anywhere near as many people as before because most people don't want to risk arrests or fines, but I'm sure we could still make some people on this thread splutter

Has anybody answered the question about if you would kill yourself by weeing onto the live rail on the underground tracks yet ?

I'm still alive.

I've had to stop my train in the 'pipe' to have a slash a few times.

You'd only give your willy the shocks if you managed to provide a constant, solid stream to the rail. If you're splashing it all over the place sten gun stylee you should be fine, but it's not a nice thing to do anyway.

Last time I went on an international flight, alcoholic drinks were £3 each.

That's probably more the reason people don't always buy alcohol on a plane.

3 quid? Was that on squeazy Jet?

Last two times I've flown, Air China and China Eastern, all booze has been free.

Same on Delta and US Airways.

that is one of the factors that means that I never fly on these airlines - Virgin and BA still offer free drink and both are good for me.

On another matter ajdown are you this person: <editor: URL removed>

Sorry, you're not allowed to post up personal info of posters, even if it is easy to find online.

 

[bluestreak]

incidentally, my manager got caught up in the party quite by accident, and proclaimed it the best fun he's had in years, and says they should do more of them.

the voice of the man on the street i guess.

 

[Crispy]

You really shouldn't use your real name as a board name, aj. Want a different one?

At one point BA were giving out two of those little bottles of wine without asking... Delta have shit service, anyway.

I could easily re-register a new name should I choose to, but I don't see that I have anything in particular to hide, after all it's not like I'm involved in anything illegal.

Would it make any difference anyway, whatever name I use here people will know it was me whether I tell them or not, because I tend to be a bit out on my own around these parts, although there's still plenty of things that others agree with me on... it's just not those that make the multiple posts and heated arguments.

Wenceslas. give him Wenceslas.

FamilyGuy would be better... Or even, UrbanToby (And yes, I know...)

Looks like the tube workers don't give a fuck about Boris's stupid law. Good for them.

Putting the Tube booze ban to the test

The booze ban on the capital's transport network has been slammed as an unenforceable "half-baked gimmick designed solely as a publicity stunt".

To test this theory the Times sent me on the London Underground network to see what would happen if I drank openly as I made my way around the Tube stations in Richmond upon Thames and Hounslow.

The rules were simple. I was only to drink while on the network and was to make no effort to hide what I was doing.

To be as indiscreet as possible I bought three large bottles.

I would stop whenever I was told to by police or underground workers and my journey would come to an end.

It was not big or clever but it was certainly enlightening.

The trip started last Thursday about 9pm at Richmond station and the plan was to go to Heathrow and back.

...I made the round-trip, which took almost three hours on the District and Piccadilly lines, without any confrontation from police or Tube staff and met two other drinkers who both thought the ban was folly.

One, a 48-year-old from Hounslow, said the ban was pointless, did nothing to stop drunkenness on the Tube and was a waste of rail staff's time.

I passed at least five members of staff, none of whom approached me or asked me to stop.

It all left me thinking: If nothing was done to stop an individual openly flouting the ban, what effect will they have on the groups of yobs that are supposedly simultaneously drinking openly while terrorising our Tube network? - never mind the clever ones who hide their alcohol in bottles of fizzy drinks.

quietly flouted with the collusion of the staff who don't give a shit. As I had hoped. Good
