1/3/06 Catching the tube

Met up with Antony (from RBH) for drinks, who explained "Tube Ettiquite" to us.

When catching the tube alone, the overall rule to observe is that you don't exist, and neither does anyone else. You can not make eye contact with anyone, and under no circumstances should you talk to anyone (only crazy people do that). The only exception to this rule is if the tube stops for an extended period and they make a service announcement (usually that someone is under a train), at which point you can say to someone nearby "typical" and start a conversation. As soon as the train starts again however, you stop talking to them and go back to not existing anymore.

Antony is good by the way, we had a fun night. He and Maree ended up feeding us yummy food and letting me ring my mum.

Happy Birthday Mum.
