My point still stands though, those AV's are wierd!
I know what you mean, i actually imagine that they look like their av's... but only the strange ones thesite offer and i freak myself outthinking about them! lol
they are horrible what happened to a basic flower of smilie???
I'm not talking just normal people, but people who look unreal, those wierd ones.
I might have scared you on the Tube yesterday. Who invented that no-eye-contact rule anyway?! Never has it been so easy to stare people down.
And bong, you get scared too easy.
But, no, your not supposed to look at other people. Tis rude.
I dont know, I quite like having my nerves so close to the surface.
LOL. For "staring people down" read "catching peoples' eye for a nanosecond". It's the equivalent on the Tube, no?
Fiend, the rules of the Tube (as stated in yesterday's Evening Standard) are;
1. No eye contact
2. Don't talk to strangers
3. Don't ask for a seat unless you are a woman in labour
Staring people down is what happens on Coventry busses.
Same on the busses here. I've been on a bus where the only people standing were two heavily pregnant women and a 4 year old.
Your right about not talking though, why would I want to talk to strangers on the Tube? And I certainly dont want people interupting my book to talk to me.
You wouldn't, cause the only ones that talk are nutters or American tourists.
Why is it American voices travel so far on the Tube, you only need two of them and the whole station can hear their voice.
Rugby: A game played by two teams of 15 players with funny shaped balls.
But it made a guy on the tube laugh so I talked to him from finsbury park to turnpike lane.
Though my mate snapped a tendon in her ankle, and had to negotiate the tube on crutches. Anyway, she got off the tube one time and fell over, and some bloke got off the train to help her up and sort her out, and got back on the train. Then the driver said over the tanoy, 'are you alright love? if you need any help give someone a shout' cos he'd be waiting to make sure she was ok.
So, random acts of kindness.
Noooo, just a sign of the times I spose.
How long is that? If that's not too nosey....
Maybe not in central London or on the Tube, but whenever we went to our family in Kentish Town people were as friendly as you like. I'm probably talking about.....around 25 years ago here.. don't know when it changed.
