    Lol, I just play infinity blade. Hack and slash rulez
    If not, just staying in top 10% of CSR racing multiplayer, to get free cars and goodies in-game, per season (usually 35 days).

    Not if you have permission of the person who pocket you are playing in.

    I bet train travel is much more exciting in India. Next time, instead of sitting inside the carriage and being bored, try climbing on top.

    Would you ?

    When I was commuting to London I had a new born son with a back injury which prevented him from sleeping properly - on the train, I slept.

    That's because bobbing is a social sign among bobs that they understand what the person is speaking. A silent "yeah ok, got it". Problem is, bobs don't understand about doing like the brits do (whatever it is) when in Britain. Hence the reason why bobs wear sneakers and sports shoes with formal attire. Anything goes
