Jackpot777: cadilly line to Holborn. That's 45 minutes. Then the Central line up to Stratford. Another 30-35 minutes.

Or: Heathrow Express to Paddington, 20 minutes. Circle or Hammersmith & City line to Liverpool Street, 40 minutes, then the Central from there to Stratford, which is ten minutes at most.


And only two moves to Mornington Crescent.

Jackpot777: Piccadilly line to Holborn. That's 45 minutes. Then the Central line up to Stratford. Another 30-35 minutes.

Or: Heathrow Express to Paddington, 20 minutes. Circle or Hammersmith & City line to Liverpool Street, 40 minutes, then the Central from there to Stratford, which is ten minutes at most.



In accordance with the Breighton Convention of 1972, Amended 1998, you can't make that move in a forum intermediated by RFC 793.

I'll declare a move of Heathrow (any terminal) to South Ealing, to Ealing Broadway, to Oxford Circus, tip the busker playing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' on a ukelele (observing the double reverse change-over criteria), to Euston, et voila, Mornington Crescent.

And anywhere you want to go after that is your own bloody problem.

Funny, this happens every 4 years.

/doesn't happen at winter olympics because they use dogsleds to transport athletes, and the dogs know the way.

AverageAmericanGuy: London Mayor Boris Johnson shrugged off the bus delays. "I understand that some of our visitors took the scenic route," he said. "They saw more of our fantastic city than they would otherwise have done. And that's no bad thing. What thing of beauty does not have its imperfections?"

fark you, dipshiat.


That's not a healthy reaction, you should relax. He merely made light of an unfortunate situation. He's great at that, and he has better hair than you.

keoki82: Does Alan Rickman record the tube announcements?

That alone would be worth a trip to London.


Sadly no, but it absolutely would be worth it.

I love Mornington Crescent threads. It's the London equivalent of Calvinball.

pseydtonne: Jackpot777: They got to see the M4 motorway.
[www.smh.com.au image 470x312]

Begging your pardon, but that's the M6 Toll, not the M4.


I stand corrected, I just GIS'd it. Here is the correct picture.

What? New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York? Are you SURE...?

PsiChi: Bottom line: There are more of us than there are of them.

Based on your other statements, I have no idea what this "us" is of which you speak.

Every "us" that I associate with, and quite a few that I don't, know that airplanes themselves didn't do that to the Twin Towers, but the blazing inferno caused by their transcontinental fuel load did.

Also, the other picture is not any kind of representation of a "dirty bomb". Mad photoshop skillz, yo.

By the way: aluminum foil won't keep the orbital mind control rays out. You have to use tin foil. And THEY have conspired to have that removed from store shelves after WW2 and replaced with aluminum foil. Soon afterwards... Sputnik. Coincidence? I think not! Wheels within wheels, buddy...
