Hi Ian,
Are you able to verify that? If so was the dumping by accident?
I can't imagine the biological hazard dumping the potties
and all the chemicals (the blue stuff) would create? How
could Tomatoes grow in such disinfectant?

There is an urban legend that President Truman would
order Air Force One's toilets dumped wherever he
flew over Ohio.

I'm going to start a betting pool on how many times you were dropped on your
head when you were little.

Can I start "a betting pool" on how stupid you Brit's are?

The article was clear to me; "Most modern trains are fitted with
toilet tanks which are pumped out at depots, but older rolling stock
vehicles do not have the same system."

Eh?

Apparently rolling stock gets worn out fairly quickly, so the legislation
doesn't specify a time limit to take the old ones out of service.

Hi Ian,

I bet you weren't this crabby before Metformin.

But, you do have a point. I should probably get the
metal plate changed out for a plastic one. Every
time I pass a Microwave, I can't remember who I
am for a half hour or so. :-)

By the way, Metformin also ruins your sense of humor.

Just out of curiosity, don't you spray herbicides
on your train tracks? If tomatoes could grow on
them, the rest of the tracks would be overgrown with
grass and weeds.

I think the story was probably a hoax. Brits are
known for their sense of humor. Okay, not you, but...

-T

For the humor impaired, and you know who you are,
no, I do not have a plate in my head.

Some people think my sense of humour is a bit dark - but I like it that way.

Do you think we are going to see any more episodes of the
"I.T.Crowd"? I almost pass out from laughing. Brits
do have a funny bone.

Frankly, I find some of the humour a bit infantile.

America is better - they don't get humour, so they just don't bother trying.

Are you guys ever going the knight John Cleese? He
could read me the phone book and make me laugh.

Did you read the article? It said it was older trains.

And why are you even here? Tag teaming with Todd now? Are you even
diabetic?

And no, I don't hate men.

I never thought he was funny either. But he was
a HUGE hit France where they absolutely adored him.
Hmmmmmmm.
