Thoughts from the mind of Dennis Gunn, 26-02-2002: >Hendrik Jan Veenstra grumbles: >>"hi, it's me... no, me, John!... yes, I'm in the train right now... >>huh? yeah, in the TRAIN... I'm at Utrecht Central now... no, >>Utrecht... yes, will be home in about 10 minutes... hm? ... no, >>TEN minutes... yeah, see ya". Combine this with the incessant "tsk >>tsk tsk tsk" from a bunch of walkmans, and there's really no fun > >anymore to travelling by train... >[...] > >And they call *me* a grump. > >I don't use a phone or a walkman on trains but it does not bother me >in the least to see people doing something with the time they are >incarcerated in the tube that they feel better about than staring >straight on with the expression of wet gerbils. I'd rather have them stare and be silent than having to listen to this completely braindead talking (or shouting usually). I travel by train every day, and usually try to read a book. Try to do that when a couple of idiots try to tell someone else that they're "on the train... yeah... what? no ON THE TRAIN...". Pfff... And, mind you, being a teacher and witnessing the telephone conversations of 16-year olds every day _also_ doesn't help :-). grump grump, HJ -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
