It's not all doom and gloom...

Yes, I know it's an advert - designed by a big company to attract our attention and get our money. But when it makes me (and by all accounts lots of other people as well) smile in the dog days of January - isn't it worth it?

Lol. I spent the entire thing wondering what the hell it was even advertising. By the end I had decided it must be a phone, as there was a girl with a phone; up to that point, so far so London, where it is not possible to walk 100 metres without being nearly bumped into by some bimbo with a phone. And it turns out to be my own sodding phone company. Which is shite. T-Mobile OWE it to its users to relieve January gloom.

They probably do - I'm not endorsing them. :-)

But I approve of dancing, and think the world would be better if people did more often, so I'm coming out in favour of this one.

That made me smile, too; thank you for the link!

You're welcome - it's nice to spread a smile.

*grins* Okay, more dancing and frivolity I can handle. Though, as a London-based commuter, I can honestly say that if that were to happen at, say, 8:30am at my destination station, my only response would be 'WTF? Why are all these people dancing about like idiots in my way and making it impossible to get past?'

*has Long-Term Commuter Syndrome* ^^;;

--> Grouchy ^^ (especially first thing in the morning XD)

The time stamp on the caption does say 11am, so I'm guessing they were trying to avoid the commuter rush. *avoids London public transport in rush hour, if at all possible*

--> Also Grouchy in the morning, but walks to work, so only has to snap at the idiots outside the shop who can't read the opening hours sign. :-)

For the first time in... oh, gosh: probably a decade, I actually gave up my seat on the tram the other day (though not in rush hour) and I pondered: how long does it take commuting into and out of London before you get to the stage where you would defend your tube seat against the advances of a pregnant granny on crutches... (Not all that long, I suspect!)

I'd put one of those zappy things that electrocuted the newsman in the second "Die Hard" film on my wish list, if I didn't know I either wouldn't dare use it or would get locked up for doing so. So many dancing morons, though, would require a fully automatic weapon!

I'm really glad I don't have to deal with that kind of thing - buses can be a bit of a pain, but not enough to produce that kind of effect. :-)
