You just press the button and it kills cell signals around you for a few seconds. It's pretty awesome! I should carry it on the train.RCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-17033279964698857592013-05-16T13:31:18.638-04:002013-05-16T13:31:18.638-04:00I know that there are some words that we use in En...I know that there are some words that we use in English that don't translate into other languages. <br /><br />I was told this by someone who spoke fluent Punjabi when my wife asked him why he would carry on an entire conversation with his mother in Punjabi, but intersperse the chat with English words like "job" and "hardwood".MATTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-75934564359215361532013-05-16T10:33:49.679-04:002013-05-16T10:33:49.679-04:00At least you get to follow the conversation.

I assume when she emerges from the other side she resumes the call.<br /><br />I'm switching cars if this keeps up much longer.<br /><br />I must be an anachronism because I turn my phone off when I'm on the train. I hate being disturbed during my reading time by the phone ringing.George Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-38167201808157843112013-05-16T10:16:53.478-04:002013-05-16T10:16:53.478-04:00I had some woman who thought it was appropriate to...I had some woman who thought it was appropriate to fan herself (and those around her) for the entire ride. Even commenting on the looks she was getting to her companion. <br /><br />Anyhoo, related to this post: I just received a call from GO customer service about the Quiet Cars. They are extending the trial on the Barrie line - though she didn't tell me the end date. But she mentioned that they were getting 50/50 feedback about it. So once that trial is over, then they will assess if it is feasible to implement the idea across all lines/certain lines. It may be a while (if ever) before something like that is added to LSE. <br /><br />It is a shame, because then you would have avoided the incident. But at least you got to understand the whole conversation. That makes it easier to mock later. Tuesday I had to listen to someone yell their entire conversation in Urdu (or similar language) from Pickering to Danforth. GrrrrrSquigglesnoreply@blogger.com
