Let me explain

[damerell]

ceb and I were watching Spaced.

Daisy: Right, I'm going to the shops. D'you want anything?

Tim: Porn.

Daisy: Tim, I'm not going to buy you porn. You can get it from railway sidings like everybody else.

Tim: I can't, I'm an adult. I'm supposed to leave it there.

At this point ceb expressed bafflement. "What?", I said. "Everyone knows you find porn in railway sidings. I mean, I haven't looked myself, but it's just one of those things everyone knows."

Apparently everyone does not know it. :-)

It's news to me.

Yeah it's not that common knowledge. Maybe it's just you. :p

And Simon Pegg / Jessica Stevenson!

That just means Simon Pegg is as big a perv as you. I don't see an issue with this. :D

Common knowledge among people who were boys at a certain point in time...

I suspected that was what you were referring to.

'Spaced' - our generation's nightlight.

Not sure if there were any railway sidings round our way.

A porn bush I'd heard of, but not railway sidings. That might be because I don't think there was ever a railway near anywhere I grew up, and Beeching closed the nearest ones quite a while previously...

I did hear the occasional tale at school of local lads having some luck hanging out on the hard shoulder of the M40, under the bridge just outside the village, but that always struck me as verging on loony-bonkers risky.

Industrial wastelands in general. Back when porn was on paper.

Maybe I'm still ROTFLMFAO

That one episode of Spaced keeps following me around. I haven't managed to see any of the others.

ceb can help you there.
