Compartments? That was a long time ago!

Not that long ago - 421s, 423s, etc had some compartments, including
standard class.


Have the 442s retained their compartments after the refurb?

No, long gone.

Interesting experience on the Bakelooo Line at the weekend. The
carriage had about 20 people in it, mainly scattered around. At Oxford
Circus two women (sans male escorts) entered one end of the carriage
and sat down. They were dressed all in black - like they do in Iraq /
Iran. They had the real slitty-eyed look. Well quite a few people
looked at them and then at each other and suddenly decided that they
really did not want to be sitting near them, and they moved towards
the other end of the carriage near where I was. Not that that would
have saved them in an emergency. One of two muttered "well you never
know do you?" I got off at Charing Cross, but noticed that by then the
two women had their end of the carriage all to themselves. What would
you have done? SB.

Yeah right - get back to your glory hole at the back of the mosque
comrade. It'll be Friday soon and the camel shaggers will need a
service.

Until the people of this country feel satisfied that the "moderate"
muslims are taking a rather more robust attitude by fingering these
extremists in their ranks, then they will remain completely distrusted
and disliked. That's a fact - get over it. The solution lies with
them, not with us.

Oh **** Off you snivvelling little racist prick.

This is a forum about london transport, not about muslim clothing.

Indeed, a variant on the IRA tactics (particularly in their latter

Since when did the IRA use suicide bombers?

I never claimed that they did. However, particularly in their later
years, they had a habit of sometimes placing a bomb where people
might congregate after moving away from a "bomb". Whether this first
"bomb" was real or not was somewhat immaterial, it was the second
one which was intended to kill and injure the most people.

It was sometimes claimed that this was to do with some fault, by the
person who got the warning and passed it on, or by the police, but
there are only so many times it can be used before that excuse is
untennable.

I seem to recall that they sometimes claimed that it was just confusion,
not a deliberate attempt. It's certainly true that their warnings were
often unclear about the target, but that may sometimes have been because
of ignorance/panic/confusion.

One of their claims was that the people used to telephone the
warning a little excited/worried and got the location wrong.

However, I have not noticed the unacceptable face of the right wing
having a go at these two religions.

So no jews are being targeted by the far right any more? You sure about that?

Absolutes are difficult. However, I think talk of a global Jewish
conspiracy and the like tends to come from other groups these days.
Certainly when such an attack is made on George Galloway's radio
programme it tends not to come from the right wing nuts but rather
the sort of Islamic nuts who give Islam a bad name.

Of course, this is another big difference between aQ and the IRA -- the
former are proud to kill innocent bystanders (who are most often
Moslems), the latter claimed to have no desire so to do.
