1. I want my eyebrow pierced again. That's not to say I've already had it done - I wanted it done years ago, then changed my mind. Now I want it again ( Read more... )

re: 2, it would take days rather than hours. it's only just possible to pass through every station within 24 hours, so actually getting off trains long enough to have your photo taken would make doing it inside one day impossible. you also need to bear in mind that flash photography is strictly prohibited on the Underground, so that may cause problems for stations that are underground and for taking photos during hours of darkness.

you would indeed need someone to come with you and take photos. i'm willing to do at least some of that for you if i'm free. :)

I wouldn't have thought it was even possible in 24 hours. I got a pretty good picture of an underground sign, without a flash, last weekend, but I'd forgotten that flash photography was prohibited. Although, most stations tend to be well lit most of the time.

Thank you, I'll let you know if I ever get around to doing it. Doubtful, although it would possibly be quite an achievement.

it's been done a few times, for charity and to get into the Guiness Book of Records. i think it involves starting at Chesham at some stupid hour of the morning, and running between stations that are close together and the like.

if you do it in bite size chunks, it's easily achievable. :)

I was thinking last night that I might do it for charity - makes the pointless a little less pointless. There's no way I'd attempt to break a record but I reckon I could try to do it in a week, maybe.

1. I don't see any harm in you getting your eyebrow pierced. Should be fun. :) I think they look great on other people, I just couldn't ever get one myself.

2. That would be sweet! If you can manage it, that would rock. :)

3. Hahaha. Awesome? Only for the story I supposed. Not many people can claim that one. :)

1. Plus there's the advantage that if I ever decide I don't want it, it apparently only takes 24-48 hours to heal. I'll just have to wait until I finish my current work placement in August - I don't think facial piercings would be particularly suitable at the moment, especially considering I'd have to initially leave it in for 6-8 weeks.

2. I spent far too long thinking about it last night, and I'm very tired now, yet have been up since 7:30am, which is not like me at all, especially on a Sunday.

3. I must have looked like a right muppet - laughing to myself in the middle of town just after it happened!

I would totally come and help you, so long as I got pictures by them all too ;) I'm on a gap year, what else am I going to do! But tell me, HOW would it only cost a pound?

If you get on the network, say at Liverpool Street, then go around the network as much as you like, but never actually go back onto the surface, then go back to Liverpool Street, and touch out/go overground, the system sees your journey as Liverpool Street to Liverpool Street, which is also the equivalent of zone one to zone one, which costs one pound :D

That's fantastic. Count me in. We should collect as many people as possible and have a kind of weird fun day on the underground!
