How To Survive A Tube Strike

Fear not, the Tube Strike can't break a Londoner. Use these time-killing device to help pass through the monotony of London's highly functioning public transport

1. Call Anyone - Complain like you're Dan Bilzerian's PR guy

Everyone around you is definitely not experiencing exactly the same situation as you. You are far more important, stressed and inconvenienced... Make sure your fellow commuters know you're a f*cking BOSS

2. Whale Watching

Put your harpoons away, set your snapchat to forward facing. Aim of the game: Subtly take sly pics of as many BMI-tippers as you can, send them round and compete with one of your friends who finds themselves in a similar spot of bother. NB: Going to Weight Watchers is cheating.

3. 'Bogies!'

Dick and Dom gave us two things in life - A break for parents and Bogies. If you are clueless to the concept of this game, you and a PIC raise the bar by whispering, saying and shouting 'bogies' in a game of tennis which even Drake's squad would enjoy.

4. Put the keypad on your phone on loud - TEXT EVERYONE

You've got friends, right!? Twitter, Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp, Emails... You've called Dave now message, comment and do whatever else you can to draw attention to the fact that you have a phone... Which isn't on silent. People love the belligerent tapping.

5. Order in (out?)!

Don't feel obliged to eat with your mouth closed, definitely steer clear of napkins and give yourself some elbow room. Get a burrito, a domino's or something your fellow commuters will be highly jealous of.

6. Prepare yourself with some physical activity!

According to statistics and research from people and universities which can't be named (because this isn't true) women can actually ovulate immediately after picking up the scent of an alpha-went-to-the-gym-got-smelly-before-the-tube-male. Give it a go guys...

7. Work from home tomorrow... take the office with you

You're having so much fun being stuck 12 people deep in the queue for the doors; why do it tomorrow when you can work from home! Make sure you lug every single file you'll need with you - DropBox and emails are just what Skynet want you to use!

8. Read a book!

A big f!cking book! Arms out straight (because you've got glasses struggles), hold it with both hands, lean on your fellow commuters (reading pillars) and occasionally laugh, look around for acknowledgement, and continue in the knowledge that they aren't having anywhere near as much fun as you.
