to late ^^

I was hoping someone could get me a coffee on the train. It's not too late for that.

I'll whait there at the station with a coffee for you!

 

[pietsch]

the train will go to nowhere there is no station

But I am at a station and there is a sign "nowhere" next to me.

 

[pietsch]

but there is no nowhere ^^

Oh, Starbucks? That's easy.
Take the train in the opposite direction, leave at Waterloo and take a Northern line train. Leave at Baker Street, take the "Madame Tussauds" exit. Turn away from Madame Tussauds, you'll see one of these "Pizza Express" places.
Go there and turn left, you can't miss the Starbucks there.

Another one? Sure. Leave this train at Camden Town, take the DLR to Bank, switch to Piccadilly line and leave at Piccadilly Circus. Take the Regent Street exit and keep going for ~5 minutes. Starbucks to the right.

Want another one?

PS: If you don't believe me, look these up in Google Maps or whatever.
PPS: I recommend a signature hot chocolate with double cream.

 

[92Phips]

I am in nowhere?! :-c

 

[Tazjin]

I think I told you how to get to Starbucks.

 

[92Phips]

But I can't find Baker Street!

 

[Tazjin]

But I can't find Baker Street!

LOL
You can't miss Baker Street. There's Sherlock Holmes everywhere in that station...

 

[92Phips]

LOL
You can't miss Baker Street. There's Sherlock Holmes everywhere in that station...

But I can't see it!
Could you show me the way, please?

I was in a similar kind of trouble, when I went to London. I was staying in the middle of nowhere with a map of London. I was searching and searching, but I didn't find a street called One Way on it. At this moment I realized: my english sucks! :-D

I figured.

However, take your iPhone with you ( if you've got one ) and you should be fine.

 

[Der Dirty]

First: I don't have one!
Second: Meanwhile I know what a One Way is.

And please, could you correct the quote. Kind of embarrassing.

 

[92Phips]

I'm still missed....:-c

 

[Der Dirty]

Maybe this will help you.

 

[92Phips]

Maybe this will help you.

But there's no station called "nowhere".
I'm hopeless...:-c

But thanks!

 

[Der Dirty]

Then perhaps you are not in London. Try to remember how you got there.
