  • flashboy, that is indeed a hot commute lineup!
  • Is there a picture of the map? I'm drunk...
  • How about a picture of Kate Bush instead? She's quite nippy in this one. mmmmm Kate Bush
  • mmmmmmmmmmm enthusiastically seconded
  • Oh, wuthering heights... *sigh*
  • It's bigger, but something essential is missing.

  • Wot, no Marc Bolan? No Sex Pistols? 2 of London's finest pop acts of all time overlooked. I is shattered, I tell ya. Crushed, even.
  • BTW - funny thread title!
  • asking classical music critic Tom Service for invaluable help Tom Servo is a classical music critic? *sigh* I'm reliving all my fond memories of the London Undergroud. I have a pair of socks with the map printed on them. Yes, they're tube socks.
