    Is there a word for people on a train who stand up ages before their stop and stand by the doors or in the aisle for three or four minutes?

    Loads of people do it but it is bizarre. And funny.
    eager or late spring to mind.

      Or when they go to the door or the wrong side of the train.

        Yes, that's a beauty.

        The thing is, the lobby by the doors usual gets full so they stand in the aisle down the carriage, often right next to the seat they have just vacated.

        I've got to think of a Meaning Of Liff term for these people...

          Moring all, another bright cold day here in the crows nest.

          Today's entertainment shall mostly be provided by taking bets on which of the workmen, currently ambling around on the roof tops below us without saftey harneses, is going to fall off first.

          My money is on the dozy looking chav type with the fag hanging out of his gob.

              Oh!
              Just read through the interminable drivel in the other threads and found out what happened to my mate and mentor Zeity.

              Calm down buddy and get back with the program.
              Things are just starting to get interesting around here again after my long absence.

                      You were and it was very nice of you, but please don't as it only encourages them.
