mysticaingeal WellzY - When you can't use proper grammar and write your instead of you're. DON'T HURT ME! Harsh dude. Way harsh... I would just like to say this one: -You never bother looking at the train timetable because you know the drivers have never seen it. Was the truest out of them all. *grumbles about cityrail* it also applys to all of Syney's transport...bloddy buses and trains are nver on time scream
