What is the tube?
When a server is overloaded by over-zealous using.
Althought the term was created by PA, tubing is not only through their linking to other pages.
The forum was totally tubed cos people (you know who you are) were posting all this useless stuff.

The tube - what does it mean?
"The Tube" was made up by Brandon DiCamillo, who frequently talks about it on Radio Bam. The Tube is a long, clear plastic tube. It is used in a competition where two people, preferably men, insert an end into each of their anuses. Then they both defecate. The winner is determined by whose feces comes out the other side.
You lost at the tube
The tube - meaning
Phrase meaning - Fully reachable through on-line chat, email, and phone. Typically used in an collaborative work setting to denote that you will be out of office, but easily reachable. Originating in the southeast, it may be a derivation stemming from the old office mail suction tubes - "able to be reached through the tubes".
I'm working from home today "in the tube".
The tube - definition
A shop simular to subway, the number 1 place for rigma rolls.
I had the best rigma roll at the tube
The tube - slang
The London Underground, the first such system in the world. Resembles (and smells like) a small train running in a sewer. Beloved of Ken Livingstone. Takes forever to get anywhere (if its running at all).
Londoner: "London's ace coz its got The Tube blah blah..."
Brummie: "Fuck that it takes half an hour to go a mile- I can go 120mph in my car..."
The tube
London's underground system. A very convenient way to get around central London. However it is incredibly expensive especially when compared with the Paris Metro, and liable to strikes from lazy bastard london underground staff. It is the oldest underground train system in the world which also means its shite. Over crowding is a serious problem and none of the carriages are air conditioned. The tube is fun if you are a tourist but if you use it everyday to get to and from work it is a nightmare. For fun try London Bridge or Bank on the Northern line at around 5:30-6:00 on a week night. Victoria at about 8:30am is also a good one. Be prepared to sweat to inhuman levels and have your face wedged in a fat bastard's armpit. Amusing once, not so much every single goddamn day. One of the many joys of working in London.
Warren: How shall we get there?
Wilma: I know, lets take the tube.
Kieren: Are you kidding me? It stinks like butt sludge and is packed with undesirables. Lets take the bus.
Samson: Are you mental? The buses are shit too, and the traffic is terrible.
Warren: Yeah, all the transport is crap and really expensive, lets just stay in and get fucked up.
Kieren: Much better idea, and we'll order in some hookers from Soho.

London's Underground Metro System
Consisting of 12 lines and a light railway system:
Bakerloo
Central
Circle
District
East London
Hammersmith & City
Jubilee
Metropolitan
Northern
Piccadilly
Victoria
Waterloo & City
And The Docklands Light railway
Although a unique and complicated system it is the oldest underground rail network system in the world... and it shows. Crowded trains, long delays and soaring temperatures are just some of the things daily commuters have to put up with... on a good day. My advice is to travel on a weekend and take plenty of water.
It's a fun place to doss around but not that fun if you have to use it everyday, day in day out. Skating in the underground is the best though.
Useless facts:
- Angel Station has the longest underground escalator in the whole of the underground, taking 80 seconds and raising 90 vertical feet.
-Less than 50% of the tube is actually underground
-Central London's stations are extremely crowded, the closests being just 0.16miles, making it quicker to walk.
Mind the gap
Please Refrain from Skateboards anywhere on the London Underground
This train terminates at... Edgware
