  • Of all the things to nick...

    At the moment, our train is running 45 minutes late because of 'an attempted theft of the signals'.... so if you see some oik racing past with a giant set of lights and a movable lever tucked under their arm, we'd like to have a word with them....

      Unfortunately, Kit got railroaded out of his time.

          Why would anyone do that? He must have a "loco"motive.

            Whoever did that really didn't make the grade.
            I don't see why anyone would choo-choo-choose to do such a thing.

              We will shunt you to a passing siding.

                        A reminder from your local grouch and misfortune-teller; this thread is an absolute train wreck and is headed nowhere. I strongly suggest you switch tracks while you still can.

                          But we all have a one track mind. Are you trying to derail us? Or just shunt us off to the side?

                            Something did just occur to me: This means that a train in the UK was late; that's a very serious offense -- almost as bad as wasting tea. Tell me, how many heads ended up on pikes because of this?

I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this. [waves as above] . . .Can you and your associates arrange this for me?" - Vir Cotto, Babylon 5)

                            Oh, sorry, I almost forgot to bring a bad pun along for the ride. Terribly sorry. *ahem*

                            I'm sure this made some folks blow their stacks.

                              Clearly not enough. Because if beheadings were the punishments for late trains, then the Replacement Bus Service would not be a thing.

                              If you didn't, then the reddit thread I linked will certainly engineer some anger for the Brits on the board.
