The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa could be heard over 3,000 miles away. Hence the idea that it was heard over half way around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train can't be late if it doesn't run It's cheaper to get the train on time by running it "semi-fast" so it gets to the final destination on time. Semi-Fast means it now becomes a limited stop whereas when you boarded the train it stopped everywhere. The train is on time, you, however, are late because you had to catch a train back or forward from the station you got off at to the station you actually wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I average less than 1 trip on a train per year on average I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 23, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2018 I use the train a lot if I'm going in and out of birmingham or to and from a villa game. But I'd say 85.9% is very generous if we're talking about how often they're on time on my route. I'd say it was more accurate if it said 85.9% were late.

I've tagged you in this Ben because I'm sure you know the village of Bandon. Hourihane is pronounced How-ra-han. Just learnt it. I'm also massively spastikated But my man here is from the next village and I pronounce it Huri-han. Apparently its How-ra-han. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I know Bandon well. And yes, every time I mention "Hoo-ree-han" (as I pronounce it) my irish mom or uncle (my two irish relatives who would care about Aston Villa) laugh at me. We definitely pronounce it incorrectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Start as you mean to go on London... My mate got robbed on Xmas Eve at knife point in North London. Is crime going up or is it just more widely reported? Quote Two people have been stabbed to death and four others hurt in separate attacks in the early hours of the morning in London. A man died after being stabbed outside a private party in Park Lane, in the West End, at about 05:30 GMT. Two men, aged 37 and 29, and a woman, aged 29, were also stabbed. About an hour earlier, a woman was fatally stabbed in Southwark and at around the same time a woman was shot at a nightclub in Hackney. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46728460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
