Subject: The Official Share a Story Thread

Posted by: Terry
Date: Aug 24 12

If you are directed here by a FunTrivia challenge, please reply ONLY in this thread for the challenge. Only posts made here will count towards your challenge!

[ And no, you will be DIRECTED to come here. Posting here without having an already issued challenge will not result in anything! Still, you can post a story if you feel like it anyway ;) ]


If sent here, the title says it all. Your challenge is to share a story.

Tell us, briefly, about something funny or interesting that has happened to you recently. Or something sad. Or something scary. Or something exciting. Something funny or strange you saw?

If nothing funny or interesting or scary or exciting has happened, then write us a poem. Or a song. Or tell us a joke.

Or just tell us what you did today. Did all you accomplish was to brush your teeth? Did you fail to even do that? Do share...

Feeling grumpy today? Tell us what irritates you. What TV show can't you stand? What TV show are you watching that you like?

So go ahead, we're listening. The only rules are that you be polite and follow our very simple rules up above.

Tell us a story...

Happiness is the journey, not the destination seems to become more true every day.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
who said share a story or suck it.
I went out of my way as I needed this play,
it wouldn't have made sense just to duck it.

Toronto has been building a CrossTown LRT for the last ten years The original estimate was three to four-years It is not finished , way over Budget and some of the original structure has to be replaced due to weather erosion.The contractors have recently said that they have no definite idea of when the work will be done and the trains running I used to make fun of Boston and their BigDig I must apologize to Boston

kented, my sympathies to you. We in Calgary have our own little LRT disaster brewing. What was originally supposed to cost $4.6B for 46km has been pared down to 18km for $5.5B. The engineers I'm working with say that it's likely it will cost at least $10B with inflation, increased cost of materials, etc. The shorter they get the more they cost. Sad thing is it will barely reach anyone who actually needs public transit as it's running through mainly an industrial area and will end up at the dump in the city's southeast. We are completely bewildered but they're digging their heels - it's all systems go! We call it the Green Line to Nowhere.

In Brisbane, single-digit temperatures are not good. The last few nights it has got down to 6 C. Thankfully days times are ok @ 20-23 C and sunny

On this day in history 1975

Steven Spielberg's movie 'Jaws' was released in cinemas and it was a huge success, some say creating the genre of summer blockbuster movies.

Negotiating pancreatic cancer- stage 4. A decade ago, I would not be writing this- very thankful for the advances in cancer research and treatment, and the support of those close to me!

I wish you health, KingLouie6, and hope the rest of your treatment goes well.

Meanwhile, London's Elizabeth line (opened in 2022) which is a mix of overground and underground, is 96Km long, and has 40 stations (including 10 built from scratch), one of which (Paddington) is apparently big enough to accommodate the Shard, assuming that the Shard would lie down on its side.

When you think that the tunnels had to be built over, under, and round an existing network of tunnels, sewers, communications systems, underground rivers, ancient burial grounds, innumerable building foundations, ancient monuments, and other archaeological sites whilst linking to an existing train network in a city that is 2000 years old... $25Bn almost seems cheap!
