Ten Tips for Tube Travel!

  1. Walking slower than everyone else during rush hour – watch the people envelope you like a school of fish and a shark.
  2. Walk against the direction of the train as you alight – look everyone in the eye. Peer deep into their souls.
  3. Loiter when alighting, there is every chance you will be left alone on the platform like a sad virgin in a poor rom-com, or a victim ready for a slaying.
  4. Take the extra steps – choose the steps, broken escalators, fast routes. Not only are they quicker and better for your health, you will feel like a Londoner. Whatever that is.
  5. Convince yourself you don’t need the seat for the first few stops, you’ll be wrong and will regret this decision. Live off the regret.
  6. Remember the titles of other peoples books and look them up later. There is every chance they are stupid and/or racist.
  7. Make an enemy. Fall in love. They’ll all soon be gone, as will Earth. #Heatdeath3030
  8. Breathe in the hot, thick air. It’s rich in carcinogens and will hasten your eventual downfall.
  9. Have your headphones on but don’t listen to anything on them. Take it all in and wank about it later.
  10. Ignore the urge.
