I found that wearing a full on Zombie costume worked rather well*

I believe that many of the other people on the tube were not impressed as there were quite a few disgusted looks cast my way. I dare say a few 'Outraged from Oxford' types have written to the Daily Wail to complain.
Anyway, if this has amused you in any way and you can be bothered, can you vote for me on this link http://www.props-n-frocks.co.uk/fancy-dress-blog/2011/september-image-picture-competition/ who knows, if I win I might find something else undignified to wear on public transport
Thanks

That's a pretty grisly costume. But who's the guy in grey?
The most effective way to get a seat on the tube I ever saw was the time I got on an empty carriage on the northern line at about 11.30 one friday night. Anyone who lives down that way knows how busy the trains are when the pubs kick out so I was incredibly lucky to walk straight onto a carriage and get a seat.
the beers I'd been consuming all evening had impaired my ability to wonder just *WHY* there was an entirely empty carriage on such a busy train until the doors had shut. Unfortunately, that's when it hit me
the smell.
It physically hit me and I retched.
There was a tramp in the carriage and I don't know what he'd been doing, but I hope never to have to go near it again. I spent the next few minutes trying hard not to vomit, then at the next station got off to wait for the next train so I could get some "fresh air" - even the air in the tube was better than the air in that carriage
so, if you want to get a seat on the tube, smell - bad.
Break out some cheesy feet? Casually mention that you have been exposed to a tad too much ionising radiation.
Just ask someone which way east is as you casually remove your prayer mat from your rucksack.
