Yup. Standing room only. It is a bit annoying that there are four empty first class carriages in this eight carriage train.
I don't get why we still have first and second class carriages in the west. All trains are packed every day, yet we leave half the train empty in case someone bought a ticket that's like 4 quid more than the rest of the pack's.
Just imagine how many more tickets the railways would sell if they could 200 more people on a train?
For Virgin trains first class is vastly more expensive. My off-peak return would have cost £180 instead of £50 if I'd booked first class.
Oh I always forget the rest of Europe is larger. :oops: I think going from one end of the Netherlands to the other is only like 1/3 the distance of London to Glasgow.

I absolutely adore the cover art on that book.
It is very pretty.
I am saving it as a treat for when I finish some of the cleaning stuff I need to do. Later there will be me in my comfy chair with a cup of tea and the book and all will be good.
Heh. We've hit that bit just past Rugby where the track winds and the tilting of the train is really quite dramatic and there are a couple of kids freaking the hell out. One is terrified and the other thinks it's the best thing ever.
kilroy every time you post i'm reminded of another funny decemberists moment
i went to a concert of theirs in philadelphia when i was in my senior year of high school; i remember it started at 7 and it was standing room only and i was like 45 minutes from home (where i went to school)... basically i didn't have time to get home and then get to the concert and get in the front row
so i'm at the concert, and i'm like... 3rd in line though the doors haven't opened. and i see that i'm gonna have no problem getting front row so i trudge around the neighborhood a little bit looking for a drink. i still have my bookbag.
some rough looking black dude approaches me "yo man you got these college kids? what kind of shit are they getting?"
"excuse me?"
"what are they copping from you? coke and grass, mostly? that's usually what these white college kids get"
i guess because of my bag and me walking around the line
he assumed i was a dealer and that was my territory
Cleverbot doesn't do to well in a Voight Kampff test.
User: I'm going to ask you a few questions.
Cleverbot: Ok, ask me the question you want to ask.
User: Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention.
Cleverbot: Ok.
User: You are given a calfskin wallet for your birthday...
Cleverbot: I return it and buy a different wallet.
User: You've got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar.
Cleverbot: Yes. My husband has 2 brothers.
User: You're watching television. Suddenly you realize there's a wasp crawling on your arm.
Cleverbot: EEEK! A WASP! Oh no! The wasp is flying on your nose, Gaara-sama!
User: You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl.
Cleverbot: Yes, it is. What do you think about men?
User: Just answer the questions, please. You show it to your husband. He likes it so much he hangs it on your bedroom wall. The girl is lying on a bearskin rug.
Cleverbot: Is this relevant?
User: One more question. You're watching a stage play. A banquet is in progress. The guests are enjoying an appetizer of raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog.
I had a dream where we were doing the most difficult fight in WoW but I kept falling asleep mid-fight and the screen was too dark for me to see.
See, I'm afraid this will happen again. Last time I played (before I went to university, so it's already like 4 years ago) I got kind of obsessed with it for a while and I really disliked that.
I've been playing LOTRO for about a year now and there's just not so much to do for me, there is some raiding going on, but it takes ages and people don't really bother doing half the content available to them. With WoW there's so much content that there would be enough to enjoy myself no matter what time of day it is.
Oysters are awesome as long as you don't think too closely about exactly what it is you're eating.
that is how i survive, basically- by pretending i'm not doing what i'm doing

you'd have to fight sarksus for the worst whiskey drink ever made
his manhattan was... less than loyal to its origins
it was like, 4:1 whiskey to vermouth
and he forgot the bitters
and then later on
he put a marshmallow peep in it
I have to admire his audacity.

The peep was a ballsy move.
Guys, I think I might be becoming a hipster.

I would be okay with that.
The listening to the Decemberists part, at least.
And thanks, 'chu. You're a pretty cool dude yourself, if I do say so.

I have dreams all the time where I can't get to where I need to go because I keep falling asleep. It's very strange.
