Scattergories - i hate/love it

Our house has found a new love, the board game without a board, the brain aching word puzzler. Scattergories.

This game sees each player try and come up with a word for each category on a prechosen list. Unfortunately this isn't so easy. The word must begin with a letter randomly chosen by a 26 sided die, and the list must be completed in a time limit. Tricky.

Since getting this game before for Christmas, it seems our house, and everyone who visits our house will be unwittingly drawn into a game. Even worse, once you've played one game, you can't stop, and invariably carry on till your brain cells collapse. I wouldn't be surprised if this game led me to a stroke one day. I hate this game, but unfortunately I'm addicted to it. I seem to have an uncanny knack for it and end up winning nearly every time, leading to a small fleeting high. This game is worse than crack.... I'd imagine.

Essentially we on In Transit have become so obsessed with this game that we're spreading it to the world, evangelising (dealing) this game (drug) to the masses by playing the game live on air in next weeks show. Don't worry we won't waste your time, we'll use song time as our timer! Anyway, you won't get bored, you'll get hooked and intrigued, possibly even buy it. Don't get drawn in, those damn Parker Brothers don't need any more money.

In Transit says Sorry!

This is our collective apology for promising you a show on the 11th of January and then not being able to provide you with one. We hope you forgive us.

Indie - Obscure & Pretentious

"In Transit" and therefore "Tin Trains" is supposedly an indie targeted show. I think we can all acknowledge this, what with the show featuring the likes of The Muppets and Mary Poppins whilst displaying a penchant for Leonard Nimoy.

Lately, we have been shocked at how "un-indie," and thus obviously uncool (not pretend indie uncool) we have become. Everyone knows, at least the ones who are hip, that indie is a state of mind, a nirvana if you will. A constant quest that we must all strive for and only a few of us, such as In Transit, can ever possibly achieve. Unfortunately for the normal human being this is all too hard and thus, we are better than you. However it seems we have lost sight of this, so in an attempt to revive all credibility I tracked a video which explained just how. What it means to be indie.



Summing it all up is my favourite line, "You're born Indie, they've proven it, it's genetic."
Bastards, these guys are wannabe In Transiters. They'll never be as obscure and pretentious as we are in heart. This new year the radio show will be back, better, and even more obscure and pretentious, probably not on the last one .
