Default London Undergroud VS Athens Metro

Londoners do not know how to use the Metro. This is probably because
their tunnels were built by Albanians. It is not new and unique like
the Athens Metro.

If you must use their Metro while in London remember these points:

- English people do not know that you should push your way onto the
train BEFORE letting people off, ha ha!

- The stupid English stand up to let old people and pregnant women sit
down. When you see them do this you should jump in the seat and laugh
at them because your GREEK intelligence has outsmarted them.

- Most English people waste their time on the Tube by reading books.
This is time when they could be staring at women, stupid people.

In London it's called "the underground". Are you confusing London with
Paris or Rotterdam etc.

If they had a lot of Albanians Ireland in the late 19th/early 20th
century then you are, of course, right. Otherwise you're takling
bollocks.

No, London got it's act together a hundred years or more ago. Mark you,
they didn't have to call the archaeologists in every ten minutes as they
did in Athens and have had to do (even more so) in Rome.

Of course they bloody do, what do you think we are, civilised?

They'll see what there intelli_gence is worth when the rest of the
passengers kick up a fuss.

I don't - I stare at women.

And talk to myself.

Actually I have a new game - I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep.
Then I miraculously "wake up" and get off when it's my stop. So far I
have avoided missing the stop and getting off too late. Easily amused,
you see...
