Is that a train of Arriva, Veolia, NS or DB?
At DB that crap would not happen, NS would blame ProRail, Veolia would give you a fine, and Arriva would call the cops and ask questions later.

You've been warned.

2 guys are in hospital beds, next to each other in a shared room, trying to make small talk.
"What are you here for?", says the first one
"Lead poisoning...you?" is the response.
"I've got gas problems" says the first guy.
A few seconds of awkward silence go by. Then the second guy says,
"Well, at least you're unleaded".

Oh! You're killing me!

You were warned.
At least nobody's responded with something like "that's Super".
That would just fuel your anger. Perhaps to explosive results.

A couple of drinking buddies - airplane mechanics both - are in the hanger at LAX; it's fogged in and they have nothing to do.
One of them says to the other, "Man, have you got anything to drink?"
"Nah, but I hear you can drink jet fuel - that'll give you a buzz."
So they do, get smashed and have a great time.
The following morning, one of them wakes up and he knows his head will explode if he gets up. But it doesn't. He gets up and feels good, in fact he feels great - no hangover at all!
The phone rings: it's his buddy. "Hey, how do you feel?"
He said, "I feel great!!"
And the buddy says, "So do I! You don’t have a hangover?"
And he says "No - that jet fuel is great stuff - we ought to do this more often."
"Yeah, we could, but there's just one thing ... did you fart yet?"
"What?"
"Did you fart yet?"
"No..."
"Well don't - 'cause I'm in Phoenix!"

Unleaded gas? Or do you mean petrol? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I heard it in Candinavian, so yeah, we call it gas around here...our language may have more in common with the Brits than the Americans, but I've never heard anyone in Canada call it "petrol".

Just finished watching the entire series on Netflix. The core theme did transition dramatically as the seasons progressed but I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. I wish there'd be more seasons, but they've sorta minimized any possibility of that with the way they ended that series finale. Brilliant lead actor.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I enjoyed the series watched over a number of years on UK TV. It is very 'British' in many ways so may not appeal to everyone.
|
|
|
|
|
I love vintage British shows. Early 1900s. The way people dress, the overly formal way of speaking, etc. 
|
|
|
|

It certainly made it easier to understand what people were saying than some of the idioms and slang in common usage today. But then I am a GOM (grumpy old man).
|
|
|
|
|
LOL! OMG: IIRC u r my age(ish) - it's totes dope - n we hd slang idioms as wL. ALA, SWALK, NORWICH ... we knew them all.
I'm a tries-not-to-be-GOM but I don't always succeed.

Then this must be your cat: [Grumpy]

Not a cat person myself. But my son would probably choose a pet like that.

That's a grumpy remark, suits you 
|

Nothing grumpy about not being a cat lover. Now if that was a meerkat ...

I love getting my father to watch things like this. He was born in the 30s and entered the police force after a stint in the RAF (late 1950s). It's good to get him ranting about the historical inaccuracies in it (ranks that didn't exist at the time, etc). Makes it much more entertaining.

Yeah, that's another way to enjoy it I suppose. To find holes in the story line.

Nah just getting his dad wound up, get the blood flowing and excercises the mind, the vocal cords, the arm (waving fist) and the lungs as he cracks up laughing.
