The London Underground is definitely NOT a secret thing because it's other name is the Tube.
Since I went on the trains recently and the only front is the part of the carriages !!!!!


 as for the london underground...

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. London should have a capital L.

Since when were London Underground a band?  [???]  Are you, perhaps, thinking of The Velvet Underground?

While the term Eskimo might bother people It's far from clear that Inuits is any better (and note the capitals since we are discussing that sort of thing).
Surely the important bit is sharpening, rather than mislabeling, their Grandmothers.
"the London Underground, (not a secret resistance movement "
It is a secret resistance movement. All those trains and such are a front. Why else would it do such a bad job of moving people about?
The London Underground is definitely NOT a secret thing because it's other name is the Tube.


No apostrophe in "its" when it's used in the possessive case, please.

...that serves London, as for the london underground...

There should be a full stop after "London" and "as" should therefore be capitalised.

Just as I was posting that reply the board crashed on me and so what if London does or not have a Capital letter as that is what it is. England's capital city !!

hold on, hold on.
I notice that nobody has said that I am wrong in saying that the London underground were a band, and not a transport system or secret movement. All you are doing is using avoiding tactics, such as pulling rosalind up on her awful grammar. Although I have to say, I hate it when people use multiple ?'s and !'s.

ever seen people type like this with no punctuation whatsoever geez its so annoying you cant even tell where the sentences begin and end you have to guess what the meaning is it surely cant be that difficult to throw in a full stop here and there even if use of other forms of punctuation is beyond the offenders abilities [big gasp of air] but i think what makes it more annoying is when they ask you a question minus any question mark expecting you to realise its a question and you need to stare at the block of senseless text for some length of time while deciding whether or not you were being asked something and were required to answer isnt that annoying i think it is

Oh, I do totally agree, but to have the brain packaged in such a magnificent carrying case is - well, I shall only say that a dumb, good-looking woman holds no attraction for me.

Please drop conversation. I don't like it. Thank you.
