Thom's Place 4 Well Whatever...

What Color of the Rainbow Are You?, Heard on the London Underground……!!! and UH Football

written by Thom - November 9th, 2009 at 12:03 am

Well it’s Monday. I hope you had a good weekend :) This is pretty much me I would say.


You Are Orange


You are a creative, interesting person who’s always looking to spice things up. You are a little wild!
You love new endeavors and adventures. You are fearless, and you love the thrill of doing something completely foreign to you.

You are spontaneous, and you sometimes end up doing the strangest things. If you have a gut feeling, you just go with it.
You may be a bit eccentric, but your enthusiasm is catching. People want to live as freely as you do.

HEARD ON THE LONDON UNDERGROUND…..!!!

From our anonymous jokester Bill at The Old Fart’s Blog we get the following:

A list of actual announcements that London Tube train drivers have
made to their passengers…

1) ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologize for the delay to your
service. I know you’re all dying to get home, unless, of course, you
happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you’ll want to cross
over to the Westbound and go in the opposite
direction.’

2) ‘Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering
from E & B syndrome: not knowing his elbow from his backside. I’ll let
you know any further information as soon as I’m given any.’

3) ‘Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is
that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great
time. The bad news is that there is a points failure somewhere between
Stratford and East Ham, which means we
probably won’t reach our
destination.’

4) ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the delay, but there is a
security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for
the foreseeable future, so let’s take our minds off it and pass some
time together. All together now…. ‘Ten green bottles, hanging on a
wall…..’.’

5) ‘We are now travelling through Baker Street … As you can see,
Baker Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually
told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don’t think about
things like that’.

6) ‘Beggars are operating on this train. Please do NOT encourage these
professional beggars. If you have any spare change, please give it to
a registered charity. Failing that, give it to me.’

7) During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the
driver
announced in a West Indian drawl: ‘Step right this way for the sauna,
ladies and gentleman… unfortunately, towels are not provided.’

8) ‘Let the passengers off the train FIRST!’ (Pause ) ‘Oh go on then,
stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care – I’m going home….’

9) ‘Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with
‘Please hold the doors open.’ The two are distinct and separate
instructions.’

10) ‘Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means
that the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or
your bags into the doors.’

11) ‘We can’t move off because some idiot has their hand stuck in the
door.’

12) ‘To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the
second carriage — what part of ’stand clear of the doors’ don’t you
understand?’

13) ‘Please move all baggage away
from the doors.’ (Pause..) ‘Please
move ALL belongings away from the doors.’ (Pause…) ‘This is a
personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the
rear of the train: Put the pie down, Four-eyes, and move your bloody
golf clubs away from the door before I come down there and shove them
up your a*** sideways!’

14) ‘May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no
smoking
allowed on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a
joint, it’s only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage.’

UH FOOTBALL

UHLOGO

    I’m not even TAKING the test — I’m just CHOOSING to be ORANGE this time! I didn’t even know orange was IN the rainbow – but of course it is! OF COURSE IT IS!!! And I am it … and it is me! So… you and I can just be orange together today! Yes… I’ll share my orange!

    Those announcements are hysterical!

    You Are Red


    You are a very warm and passionate person. You are never at a loss for words when talking about how much you love something or someone.
    You feel strongly, and luckily, most of your strong feelings are positive ones. You love many things in this world.

    It’s very important that you are able to follow your passions. It would drive you crazy to be stuck in a job or place you found boring.
    You have twice as much energy as most people. And it’s a good thing too, because you have twice as many things you want to do in your life!

    Hooray for UH. Now the coach can be fired on an up note.

    Those are too funny! It would make commuting a lot less painful if more drivers were like that.

    I’m Violet; painfully true I’d say LOL:

    “You are the epitome of class. You always seem to know what to say or do in every situation you’re confronted with.

    You exercise good judgment. You don’t agonize too much about your decisions. The right answer just seems to come to you.

    You have an active imagination. You tend to be more focused on what could be potentially possible than dreaming about the impossible.
    You live a well balanced life. You don’t let yourself get too elated or depressed. You prefer to stay as calm as possible.”

    Go WARRIORS!!!!

    I got:

    You Are Blue
    You believe the key to living a good life is simple. Be as honest with yourself and others as possible.
    You value the truth over everything else. You will remain loyal to those who are honest with you, even if their honesty hurts.

    Compared to most people, you handle the truth well. You take every event in stride. You are the calm spot in a sea of chaos.
    You think the solution to most problems is open communication. You wish that people would be more real with each other.

    Most of it is pretty accurate.

    Those announcements were too funny. Thanks for making me smile today.

    You Are Green
    You are a very intuitive person. You understand what people need. You are both a natural healer and persuader.
    You’ve always found it easy to get what you want in life, whether that is material success or just making a difference in other people’s lives.

    You change with the times, and if anything, you tend to lead the way toward the future. You anticipate what’s going to happen next.
    You have the opportunity to be a very powerful person. What you end up doing with your power is up to you.

    I think that today’s quiz is great for you. I’ve been looking at the different results, and I find them very interesting. It’s also interesting that no one is expressing outrage about their results (so far). People seem pretty satisfied with the accuracy. Interesting.

    I like mine too. :D I’d like to hope that it’s true. ;)

      You are so right about everyone and the quiz today. Doesn’t happen very often LOL. I think that is so you myself. And I love your avatar. I wouldn’t care if it did go with the blog…it’s just you and it fits the red description as well :) MWAH!!!

    I’m green??? Love the quotes from the Underground! Would be worth riding even if you had no place to go. They would surely brighten my day!

    Enjoy, Thom!

    Hi Thom,

    LOL-:)
    This reminds med of a flight I did with British Airways. While circling around above London Heathrow, the sweet female captain said ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, as you may have noticed we have now been circling over London for the past 45 minutes. It’s the usual story: A lot of flights trying to get permission to land at the same time. A request that the tower unfortunately is not able to fullfill. We’re therefore stuck up here. Estimated waiting time is somewhere between 1 minute and 2 hours. Thank you for your kind copperation.’

    You know… This is just so typical English easy way of life-:)

    Have a wonderful day!

    Best regards from
    your friend

    ‘you happen to be married to my ex-wife’ wahahahaha :-) no. 6 – it’s one of my marvels: the beggar I saw in York looks ok, and he’s not even dirty, nice sneakers too. I thought he was just hanging in The Shambles until someone told me that was their beggar. Ah well, there’s certainly a difference between beggars in a rich country and those in the third world.

    I am also Green. I forgot I sent those. If any of the drivers said that here they’d probably be fired. In all honesty I am so glad that I am no longer with the City. Only miss my friends, driving the buses and the money and benefits in that Order.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me Tuesday with the Interview.

    Humor to pass the time and yet some blokes would be all over them.
    E&B syndrome I’m filing away for future use!
    I’m a little of all the colors in the rainbow – yep, I’m sticking to that. ;)

    Oh that guy with the golf bag i.d.i.o.t.!!
    I have a friend that works on a train/s and these are very reminiscent to some of the stuff he tell me, too funny! Can you imagine the looked on the face of the little old blue haired lady when the voice said “if its a joint pass it around?” OMG!

    You Are Yellow
    You are the brightest person the crowd, and you stand out every place you go. You are incredibly charismatic.
    You are truly joyful, and people like to be close to your happiness. You have a strong, positive effect on others. (Oh Paleese)

    You are very memorable. A lot of people know you, even those who you haven’t seen you in years remember you well. (only if I they don’t owe me money)
    You are often as happy as you seem, but sometimes you fake it a little bit. You know people are counting on you to lift them up… and you don’t want to let them down.
