So watch your valuables on the East[sic] London Line, the vermin
pick pockets
are about !!


You failed to retain his testicles. Now he can breed more scum


Everyone at work said the same and I was carrying a hefty umbrella. But
when it happens you realise no one else is aware of what happened and
you're going to be bashing the crap out of a stranger with no apparent
motive.


I'm told that an errant finger bent backwards loses resistance
beyond a certain point. Done quickly enough you needn't feel guilt; the
perp may feel something else...

It is funny when this sort of thing happens. We all like to feel we'd
behave in some macho, but ultimately heroic way :-)

I just looked at him, looking uncomfortable for about 30 seconds until
the train pulled into Gospel Oak. Jamming my brolly into him just seemed
inappropriate for some reason. Maybe that's what these guys rely on,
civilised people playing by the rules ?
