love your responses to peterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs thread !
That brought the lulz for a couple of days at least.
I wonder if anybody actually uses the tags seriously? I have to find other Superthreads, but otherwise I haven't even seen them used much, let alone used them myself.
Peterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs post didn't originally say serious replies only, right?
They're used on another site, but only to take the piss incessantly.
Must've, since it doesn't say he edited the post, which it would if he'd edited it over 2 minutes after making the post.

Hey, U-Wen, have you heard Kosky's latest brilliant idea?
I swear to god, this woman is officially the stupidest person in all Melbourne.
You seemingly missed this earlier.
When was this? And what did you say?
First page. That was the full quote of what I said.
Ahh no, I went off for a nap. What's that woman gone and done now?
She's said that a possible solution to peak-time overcrowding would be the return of seven-carriage trains.
This completely ignores numerous facts, including but not limited to:
1. The 7 carriage Tait sets of days gone by had shorter carriages. Their 7 carriage length was barely longer than today's 6 carriage sets.
2. Where the hell are these carriages going to come from? Comeng's just going to rise from the ashes to make extra carriages for the Comeng sets? Despite the fact these are trains we should actually be phasing out in about 10 years?
3. OK, great, 7 carriage trains. Our stabling sidings are built for trains made up in multiples of 3. A 12 carriage siding can hold either two 6 carriage sets, or one 7 carriage set with a shitload of wasted space.
4. 7 carriage trains using today's carriage lengths would be too long for City Loop platforms. Only by a few metres. Thus, either the driver's cabin would overshoot the platform, making assistance for wheelchair-bound passengers difficult/impossible, or the last door of the last carriage would not reach the platform and would have to be locked, necessitating longer dwell times at stations, especially with the stupid two door Nexas sets.
Good god this woman has NO IDEA what she is doing.
I went straight to point 4 in my mind. Most of the platforms in most stations are too short for 7-carriage trains anyway. Besides, that'd totally screw up the 3-carriage set.
What's your solution?
Marching down to her office and killiing her seems like a better idea every day...
