The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that it now appears as 'under construction' on the tube map:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
So we have 'Emirates' repeated in various places on the map and key. Commercialisation, grumble grumble. -
Looks tidy. Having spent many holidays in the mountains of Europe, i've never understood why we don't utilise this transport more. Its very quiet, can be very green (and even energy neutral) and can be cro-barred into spaces that you couldn't build a road/train track. Plus.....great views.
Any suggestions on routes?
-
@Brodiej Ferme Park Road and Crouch Hill - Would make the drunken roll home to/from CE that little bit easier!
-
Rumour (and I stress, rumour) has it that if this route proves a success they will look at other routes, including an extension of the current system from Greenwich to Canary Wharf. Another mooted possibility is one between Kings Cross and Waterloo (down the Kingsway, etc) to replace the cancelled Cross-River Tram.
-
I have previously suggested such a cable car up to Mount View!
-
"having spent many holidays in the mountains of europe"
Posh !
carry on
-
And I thought I was just poking fun when I suggested that the main runners on here were ski holiday people.
It's real. I guess if you can afford to go to Seasons you can afford a ski holiday.
-
P.O.S.H - Port, Out, Starboard, Home.....ah the good old days of the british empire...posh days but good days...
calm down kreuzkav...season of good will to all men ...or somefink
carry on
-
Season of goodwill, where I work no christmas party.
Season of goodwill, share the fucking money please, ho ho ho.
The won't
-
Sorry there was a mountain on my holidays guys, you will also find them in Scotland (also in europe and the UK) where it costs more to visit than mainland Europe. No skiing on my European trips, but yes i did visit some mountain resorts during the summer for which im sorry. Being considered posh isn't the worst thing you could say. Supporting London based premiership clubs would suggest that you have more money than me!
As for you Kreuzkav, name dropping Berlin every 10 mins you're a f*cking hipster.....you're worse than anyone! :-)Yeah yeah, in Berlin this one time, i owned a bar, i wore a christmas sweater, i managed a band they were ironically shit.......they were actually shit. Yeah, it was fucking cool. Now i just hate noise. F*ck the suger lounge :-).Sorry, i enjoy our banter. I hope you see it as such. It brings out my creative side.No xmas do for me either. True story.....new millionaire boss found an employee praying on the job (a muslim) and had shut the shop to do so....new boss had turned up unannounced, sees praying muslim in closed shop behind window, gets massive case of rage and cancels national xmas party because "if he doesn't think its xmas time, and people want to shop than neither do i". This man has his own wikipedia page by the way. Employee kept his job but thinks twice about praying on the job now. -
Berlin? where did that come from?
-
Pretty sure you said you lived there
-
Go wear your sweater over shirt and worship the man. Go skiiing to your melting slopes. Don't winge if an avalanche happens and wipes out all the aspriing middle class and rich kids.
-
You're pretty sure I said I lived in Berlin.
And I mention it every ten minutes. Please put a search with my name in it. I'm sure you will find I don't mention it every ten minutes. I did live there, but have mentioned it maybe twice.
I agree part of Berlin has scenesters, like Shoreditch and Dalsto, but most of it is fine. Great city.
-
Ha ha. What a dick.
See ya -
I lived in Paris, Amsterdam, Tokyo and New York too!
-
And London and Dublin.
-
London is where I was born but it's the worst city for class. My hometown, I need to move again. Full of toffs. Even Stroud Green!
-
The skiing set are the worst. What's with that guy who walks down SGR in riding gear. I always think he's Arkady. I imagine that or him in some cape and pointed hat.
-
yes but what about the cable car?
-
Looking at the times of all the posts here and other threads is there a bit of drunk and disorderly going on here ! It is in a way quite similar to people being noisy outside the Sugar Lounge !
-
This thread is everything that's wrong with this site. I wish I knew what to do about it.
-
Tell Kreuzkav that if he doesn't keep his ignorant, spiteful hatred out of every thread then he'll be banned. The end.
-
it might be a good idea to write a script that doesn't allow posting between midnight and 6am
-
If you could build in a remote breathalysing device it would probably do the trick.
-
Yes perhaps, i took the bait and the battle ensued. I feel bad now though, it was originally a discussion about cable cars! Far more interesting.
I'll try and get it back on track...
Good routes 1. Would anyone consider one on Hampstead Heath a travesty? Just might be nice, like taking a silent journey through the countryside. 2. Canary Wharf to Square Mile 3. Finsbury Park to Victoria Park 4. Something along the Regents Canal
-
-
"If you could build in a remote breathalysing device it would probably do the trick."
Anyone who could do that would make a fortune. I'd get one installed on my phone to stop the drunk texting ...
Back to the cable car - I think it's great. There should be more . -
@Andy - can the script work like an ASBO and only curfew repeat offenders?
-
I really thought the cable car scheme was a joke. I find Boris Johnson and the Olympic show a big joke. Is this real?
And arky, you've insulted me a lot more than I've insulted you. Take it like a man. I didn't even insult you last night. Get over yourself. I've taken your theories apart but I've never insulted you directly. If you're paranoid enough to think criticising 'one world tax systems', BBM and Seasons is spiteful you really have had a very easy life.
Do you know what it's like to be beaten and verbally abused constantly through your teens? Thats abuse.
-
Deary me.
-
this thread is like the eastenders xmas trailer adverts on tv "it all goes off at christmas"...
kreuzkav rather naughtily writes that he isn't all that bothered if middle class people die in an avalanche on their skiing holiday...naughty boy...perhaps a joke after a few pints of frothy meade...
which got me thinking i wonder what the most middle class ways to die are?
choking on a humus guatemole taramasalata dip?perhaps?
being so upeset that you have to downsize from your house in crouch end to move to stroud green/finsbury park borders that you faint and bash your head on your stripped pine flooring...
getting so excited by phil n kirsty on location location location showing a couple round a cottage in devon that you expire
or perhaps simply letting the handbrake off the range rover by mistake in budgens carpark in crouch end while loading the sunblushed tomatoes into the boot and running yourself over as the 4 by 4 rolls backwards...
bit dark! yeah? yeah!
-
"do you know what its like to be beaten and verbally abused through your teens.thats abuse"
schoolyard bullies or adults?
can you give us the details of what exactly happened to you kreuzkav?
who,what,where,why,how?
sorry to hear about bullying...
-
As it's the season of good will, I'll thank you all for a funny, satirical thread that nicely lampoons internet discussion threads. Thanks for the entertainment :)
-
@Chris. Your comment about middle class ways of dying made me laugh so much. As regards bullying, I moved from London to a small town with my parents before my teens. You know small towns, small minds. Usual stuff, called 'faggot', 'queer' etc. Beaten up now and again. I was mouthy and didn't hide my individuality. Someone called me a queer, I'd go 'do you want me to suck your dick'. They'd come over and I'd look them in the eye and they'd go away. They would be braver when in a gang and at night when they'd hop out of car and punch and kick me and a friend. Oddly enough I'm not gay but some of the homophobes probably have ended up in marriages and secretly attend gay saunas and dark rooms.
That's why I don't like people who gang up on people, in real life or on an internet forum. It's very cowardly. I was at a low ebb last year but I'm stronger now so I find it just really bad form. I wish people were more caring and less greedy. Lots of people are going through hard times at the moment and I don't like the way Stroud Green is going. Mexicala (theme restaurants), elite places like Seasons and BBM (trying to be one). It could turn out like Old Street soon. Full of roving stag parties and posh dinners. I guess everywhere changes but we have and generally still have a mixed community and I don't want SGR turned into a theme park.
-
sorry to hear that kreuzkav,boys can be very cruel...kids in schools say "that's gay" when they mean "that's bad",teachers can't stop this;and kids think its ok,i suppose kids are intolerant to differences in others...
i am feeling rather bullied at the moment meself
by brussel sprouts
in me stomach
from the festive meal
they keep repeating on me
parp! Parp! parp!
like a brussel sprout bully gang
as brussel sprouts are only eaten once a year maybe there should be a training period where you eat sprouts in the run up to xmas to get yourself used to them for the big day to get aclimatised to the sprout so to speak
or you could just blame the dog for the parp!
i feel sorry for al he only wanted a chat about an emirates cable car - whatever that is...
carry on
-
Curious as to why you put 'carry on' at the end of your posts Chris, and do you do this when speaking as well?
-
Chrisn4 you post is a bit Enid Blyton
Howdy, Stranger!
