Well, obviously, the child should be named Fenchurch.

Mornington Crescent in 2.

Hammersmith would be an awesome name.

I think perhaps Cockfosters would be the worst

 
CougarJeff [TotalFark] 2009-01-03 09:15:06 AM  
Did she mind the gap?

I can see this thread turning into a Piccadilly Circus.

 
Archie Goodwin [TotalFark] 2009-01-03 09:28:12 AM  
Of course this all started at Whitechapel then went on to Chancery Lane via Shepherd's Bush (avoiding Mudchute) and ended up at Kingsbury.

Beat me to it. But was she conceived in the queue?

Heh...in college, a couple of my buddies and I rode the Tube all the way out to Cockfoster Station, just for a picture by the sign.

That is a long friggin' haul from the City, just for a picture.

Just name her Chelsea or Shoreditch.

Pfff whatever. I was found in a handbag.

People in Fark sure are knowledgeable about the London subway system.

Luckily for him he wasn't born in an English pub

/Seriously, who names those things

The little Angel did, apparently, shortly after leaving Shepherd's Bush.

Tube station?

 
Tsunami Ditka 2009-01-03 12:16:12 PM  
Came here for Cockfosters as well.

That's what got her into this situation in the first place.

A handbag? You cannot be Ernest.

RabidDog: Mornington Crescent in 2.

Niiiice. Except the 1980 All-Britain Round-Robin Rules state that you cannot do Mornington Crescent in an even number.

Indeed. The cloak room at Victoria Station. The Brighton Line...

The line is immaterial!

 
I_Think_Im_2D 2009-01-03 12:26:21 PM  
Did she name her Door?

/hopefully not obscure

 
Gordon Bennett 2009-01-03 12:26:25 PM  
Too many nerds and not enough former children in this thread.

My dear fellow, the truth isn't quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl.

"At that time Byler's buggy collided with an oncoming vehicle.

The horse died at the scene.

The other driver suffered minor injuries."


Are they telling us the horse was driving? And what about the "other vehicle"? Was it a car or a buggy or a Big Wheel or WHAT?!?!?!? And was that driver also intoxicated? What about the horse(s)?

this is really shoddy journalism

I originally read the headline as "Woman gives birth TO London Underground...", and was very concerned, confused, and wincing at the thought.
/nap. i needs one.

Not even slightly.

I ran all the way here in order to say "Cockfosters". Did anybody beat me?

 
Dubie 2009-01-03 12:45:21 PM  
Like this doesn't happen in Brixton once a month?

/South of the river FTW

michaeld5: Just name her Chelsea or Shoreditch.

The tube station for Chelsea is Fullham Broadway

 
Assimilate This 2009-01-03 01:03:55 PM  
She named the child Accordingly? Weird name.

 
tetsoushima 2009-01-03 01:05:00 PM  
What about Fenchurch, like in the hitchhiker's guide?

 
Mokmo 2009-01-03 01:12:11 PM  
As i was clicking the comments link, the only word in my head was Fenchurch.

Did not leave disappointed :)

Sloane Square. South Kensington is also quite close. Fulham Broadway is further down the King's Road, not really convenient at all for Chelsea.

 
Mog_X 2009-01-03 01:29:59 PM  
Since she had a girl, couldn't she keep her legs crossed for another 5 minutes? Queensbury would have been a better name.
Of course, if she was going south it could have been Wembley..

/Used to live in Kingsbury, moved out fifteen years ago before it became a war zone :(
