Yeah man, it's all London Baby.

When I was last in London I was looking at the Tube machine trying to work it out - I was not there too long, maybe 20 seconds - and this businessman suited yuppie twat went and pushed right between me and the machine (rather than wait for me behind which most polite people would do) and bought a ticket. I remember at the time that I was rendered speechless at the level of rudeness. Everyone ignores you in London also whereas oop North it is generally easy to strike up a conversation with a stranger. I was in London on my own and I do not think I spoke to a single person for the entire week I was there, beyond, words like 'thank you' when you buy newspapers and things. I came back feeling like I had lost the art of speech, like some social pariah. I needed to regain the art of speech haha.

Fuckin' shite if you ask me, Subway I mean, they never put much of the shit in it, sets you back a fiver just for what you could get in some family run Deli type place, it's just naff, biggest letdown ever, that place.

How the fuck can you hate Subway? It's a fucking sandwich.

[Johnny Drama]

They're shit sandwiches made with shit bread. I'll give em the brekkie rolls, Meatball and Cheesesteak.

There's no shortage of a good deli in New England. When a bunch of friends and relatives have moved, they tell me the thing they miss the most are the delis.

i definitely missed the deli's in new england when i lived in florida. the selection and the quality was nothing compared to the ones here and around boston,

Everything is superior here - our delis, our football team, etc.

I was gonna ask when this annexing of Watford into London took place but since you're newly married I presumed you'd surrendered your intellect at the altar for a barefoot life of cooking, ironing and morning sickness

As someone who is pretty insecure about her intellectual capabilities, I find that less funny than you intended it to be.

And Watford is on the tube map. Zone 5 or 6 isn't it? I've been there and it is definitely in London if it's on the bleedin' tube map!

If it's in the M25, It's in the London region.

I know U is Unclassified but what on earth are N and X?

An N is a near miss. Just below a pass basically.

X means incomplete apparently.

Does it go from D to N or are there E and F inbetween?

I think E is the lowest "pass" grade followed by N and U but it's been a long time since I did GCSEs and A-Levels so can't be sure.

That said I seem to remember being able to spell FUDGE with my GCSE grades so maybe there used to be a G in there somewhere too.

I definitely remember G being a thing at GCSE, though I think the range of grades was narrower at A-level, at least when I did them (i.e. I don't there was an F and G at A-level).

Yep, absolutely terrible if you want to spend your life talking bollocks to people with beards in coffee shops.

[DieselDaisy]

Did you understand maths when they brought in the letters? x equals mc wank Y to the power of one. A load of cock and balls.

At school? Not a fucking Scooby but I did teach myself it all afterwards.

[DieselDaisy]

See, this is why you are an atheist. All of this gibberish scrambled your brain. E to the power of cock squared by y and x. Bollocks.

Wow, that's worse than Pawn Stars. I didn't think that could happen.
