Episode 92 – Boozing and Fainting on the TUBE 🚇
Martin Johnston Johnston 
Have you ever wondered what life is like on the London Undergroud? 🤔 Well wonder no more, as I speak to Boom Boom Cannon about exactly this! 💥 There’s also talk of cutting penises 😨, poetry ✍ and sh!t loads of RnR vocab! Just keep calm people and KEEP ON ROCKING! 👊
The RnR vocab that you will learn in today’s show:
Keep trying, keep plugging away
I’ve kept you in the dark
Oh yea, The Full Monty! (after he listed everything)
He’s sticking up for his old employers there
The Circle Line just goes round in one big loop
One form of torture would be for someone to tie you up
You normally get on and get off the train
Get in / get out the car
You see 2 minutes and think ‘ok, I’ll take that’, I won’t moan
5 minutes plus and my blood is boiling!
I’d say that one’s a longshot Martin
Someone left a coffin on the tube
Someone obviously handed the coffin in
I took some knives through airport security, that caused quite a scene
It’s a good job you’re in Sweden
There is no boozing allowed on the tube
4 tube drivers were assaulted
To beat them up
He said that he downed 3 cans of beer in a minute
The one that should definitely warrant death is when you’re on the escalator
Everyone in Italy takes the piss out of us
Rock n Roll is all well and good
People end up fainting on the tube
If you don’t remember, don’t worry, I will fill you in
No-one was sympathetic
The bloke sitting next to me has the same newspaper
RnR Grammar
Let’s look again at Boom Boom’s ‘poetic’ phrases from today:
“Rock n Roll is all well and good, but rules are rules”
“If everyone thinks that, I don’t want to be the one to make them think otherwise”
As I mentioned in the show, neither of these phrases are difficult to understand, but notice how much colour they bring to sentences. You will hear these kind of things ALL the time when you read / listen to English, try to take note of them, as they can be learned in chunks, so you don’t need to learn the grammar, as you just learn the phrase directly and the grammar is already included baby – OH YEA! 👊
