Apparently Billy 'the man' Gibbons was unable to get to his awards ceremony by underground tube-works because of it's lame ass lameness. He had to take a Bus.

They need to fix those defective subway cars; the train shouldn't move until the doors are completely closed.

Fix the cars and the tube workers won't be so stressed because of having to protect passengers' life and limb.

This is the 21st century, fer cryin' out loud. There's no place for Soviet subway cars in an advanced Western society.

Just let it go, Eddie. My sincere apologies if I took it all too far.

The second sentence necessarily contradicts the first.

What a bore. Enough.

As boring as hearing some union whiner cry about how hard he has it..that life has somehow delt him a bum deal and he just can't take anymore or he's going to snap? You went to university, no? But you chose the tube. Deal with it.

Way to accept a sincere apology with grace, Eddie. Short of supporting throwing old men under trains, etc etc etc, you're a classy guy. Here's something that needs no translation, I would think...

Fuck off you crybaby life owes me better union layabout wannabe. That's American for fuck off you crybaby life owes me better union layabout wannabe.

No no no, if they did that it would rob the tubeworkers of something to whine about. I think they secretly enjoy "the stress". Plus, updating might put some of those workers out of a job. The union won't have it. The more stress the better...stress equals $$, dontchaknow.

Trains on the London Underground cannot move until the doors are fully closed; it's a standard safety feature.

Unscrupulous old gits know this very well.

Poor Billy.

Sadly, the service will never meet BAFTA standards until a whole tier of incompetent and greedy Management is abducted by aliens. Only then will an efficient, unionised workforce- railwaymen, rather than suits- be allowed to run the railways.

If you doubt this, just look at the recent catastrophic collapse of the world Banking industry: Free-Market Capitalism at its finest.

Ah, so you're saying no one's safety was at risk of peril other than the stupid old git?...two fold I might add. Or, given the saint-like tube worker's efforts to incite others to throw the stupid old git under the train, should that be 3?

Oh well, the entire incident has probably been blown totally out of proportion...there's probably a Monty Python skit that would clear up the entire matter....and we would laaauuugh...oh how we would laugh. Well, those who understand and get the humor...or should that be humour?

Surely you jest. Capitalism, or greed if you will, and capital risk built the fucking railways, not layabout know-it-alls who wouldn't risk their financial asses for anyone, not even themselves. They're pawns, some of whom chose that path where options were available to them yet they had not the balls to apply themselves or risk, and who would then proclaim themselves kings. But they aren't as clever as they believe themselves to be. They choose to trade working under the free market to being subjects of the union way. We've seen it over and over, unions destroy the very industries that provide the livelyhood of those it pretends to provide representation.

Your countrymen despise your union.

Yeah, that's just what is needed, the union and railwaymen taking over the world banking industry. That's hysterical.

It's okay if you can't rally a rational response. I understand the position in which you find yourself. Although, if you can't defnd your ideas against someone as ignorant as myself, how the hell are you going to run the world banking industry, much less the railway? Perhaps you could get your union to drop a line or two. You could use the assist. Monty Python ain't cuttin' it.

Mr Pinz plays a good devil's advocate at times. If your union fails you, perhaps Mr Pinz can offer an assist. Although I must admit, I may not be up to the challenge.

I believe you've established very well where your particular political loyalties lie. Al Capone, too, had no truck with pinkos; a great believer in "The American Way" was Al. That was before they locked him away, of course.

And so have I.

Nothing useful remains to be said.

Oh no...oh no you dint!

Did you see that John? He just compared me to Al Capone....upping the ante and a desparate trump if'n I ever saw one.

Uncalled for, Eddie. Uncalled for.

C'mon Eddie, defend yourself/your cause. Have some balls for once in your miserable life.

Before you come in and scold me again, John, Eddie and I are just having some fun...a little banter between friends, as it were.
