Disappointing lack of renderings of terrorists shouting "Allan Akhbar!"Quote:

Strange line to choose imo. A ****ty, confusing, dirty and irritating line. Always been more of a pic/vic man myselfQuote:

In short: *******sQuote:

It works a lot better than when you lived here, all those years ago, and it isn't confusing to anyone with an IQ above about four.Quote:

I have to agree. As a once heavy user of the Victoria line, I find the lengthy gap between Highbury & Islington and Finsbury Park tedious to say the least. There is also the potential to be sat next to someone from Walthamstow.
Oh I'm all about the metro tiles, I have Metropolitain Line colour ones in the kitchen. I use the Northern quite a bit but the whole Kings X dogleg was always a ******* to me.Quote:
