"The Tube"

Am I the only person here who uses the tube and constantly gets offended by all the adverts in them?

All the adverts advertise loans, cheap holidays and cheap phone calls. Is it just me or do they see the average tube user as someone who has no money and lives off the government?

That's right they only let you out on day release at the weekends.

Eh?

What are you on about?

Thank you for using a Microsoft product. Have a nice day.

It's "replies", you cretinous puling scum sucking algae eater.

I don't work in London you fatuous simpleton.

Can't believe IB has got time to go on the tube the amount of time he spends on this forum. It is probably his copy of MS train simulator running while he is waiting for replys to his posts.

Buy them all a copy of Razzle each and leave the yanks to it. Far cheaper, and with more public support I imagine.

Precicely. The road system in this country is in desperate need of funding. The public transport system is useless (well, the tube works most of the time at least), and a shedload of cash is needed to make it better.

Government bod 1 'Hmmm. We need a load of cash to fix the traffic problem in london. If we charge them to get in, less will come.'

Government bod 2 'They won't go for that, people need to do their jobs so they'll come in anyway. We need to make it look like it's working'

1 'Let's rig the lights. It'll be great'

Sometime after launch day

2 'Look at all this cash! I diddn't think it would be so easy to pillage motorists further!'

Government bod 3 'I'll have that, I want to save local ameteur dramatics by making them pay a licence fee, and need the funds to implement it'

If sending 35,000 college dropouts to Iraq, letting them relieve their testosterone and bringing them back costs £600 million, then I truly do despair.
