Re: Crossed captions ...
Yes very funny.
Some of the comments are stupid:
"Why didn't they stand next to the doors when they opened?"
and
"What does a leg injury have to do with sitting on the subway all day?"

Re: Crossed captions ...
At least they got their names more correct than last time. There they had "Adham James and Andi Fisher" in the previous article.

Re: Crossed captions ...
I didnt know they did a follow up article i do a write up of my actual slow attempt on the friday You cant really support on the network here but he did really well despite not remembering to look out at a certain station for me or he was too fast i dont know i but i lost him.Perhaps a reverse of your route would work better Adham especially as i didnt lose any time at all for the first few hours.

Re: Crossed captions ...
Well i had trouble when a stupid subway driver shut the door on my hand nearly breaking it after lugging my suitcase off my other bag was left inside and gone!forcing me to stay 3 days longer in New York to get an emergency passport to get me home.MylesHSG wrote:Come on then spill the beans....what happened in NYC?
This aside there are some lovely good looking women in New York and plenty of good Irish Bars contary to what i said the system is quite easy to follow despite MTA constantly doind enigineering works and its not helpful having a driver not telling u that is E train changed into a M train then u cant get an E train from a certain station but u could one station furhter back!

Re: Crossed captions ...
I don't see the connection between standing next to the doors and having to wait for them to open at the end of a line, as one commenter mentioned on that article. What's that about?

Re: Crossed captions ...
Myself a Paul Fraser Webb (member of this forum, hasn't posted for years), did a days research in New York whilst i was living there, yes. Then it got broken by Matt & Chris Solarz, and eventually on my travels went and met up with Chris and had a loong discussion about it all. Then i got busy doing other things, and never made an attempt, no.
in other news, I am at a loss for words as to what to make of Adham's mohawk.
