    Playing as a guard (not conductor mode, but pretending, even though there's only one passenger on board).

    Class 101. I found it hilarious! Only happens when sitting in the conductor's vestibule or whatever it's called. I'm almost tempted to make it my profile picture!

    It isn’t just people who were built differently. Clothes were as well. Mine must have shrunk since then as they no longer fit.

    I'm still constantly entertained by all the ginger afros everyone apparently had in the 80s according to TSW routes.

    The slow painful death of the adverb.

    Ordinarily, I would agree with you, but the young'ns (a demographic that I am a part of) have specifically turned 'built different' into a meme that I sometimes find quite funny.

    I can edit the title if you wish.

    Change the title quick so nobody notices the missing adverbs. I think it is disgusting how rapid the modern generations are chucking them out. Get a ruler across the back of your hand in my day for such appalling grammar. :D

    No worries. ;) As an aside, twenty-odd years ago Apple famously used the advertising slogan "Think Different" which initially seemed a curious choice of grammar, but in this case "different" was considered a noun, like "think big". Thankfully for us they did so, for a few years thence Mr Jobs brought us his marvellous tactile portable communication devices.
