The Tube is the most efficient public transit system I've used or at least on par with New Yorks subway. Sure it gets crowded on peak hour but it pretty much gets you anywhere you want and fast. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why Australian cities don't have these kind of under ground rail networks.
Japan Rail is incredible man.

Its enormously expensive and infrastructure seems to be a dirty word in mainstream Australian politics. Its sad that the Greens are the only party I can name that has any transit plans in their knapsack (high-speed rail down the east coast corridor).

It would make a lot of sense. As for under ground networks I'm more talking about back in the long long ago when cities were starting to grow in the 1880s-90s-1900, why weren't these kind of transit systems put in place. They would of know about similar networks being set up in other cities around the world. I suppose it was money like most things.

Toy Story is the obvious ultimate trilogy.
Depends on your age. If you were an adult when the first one came out, then it's just another kid's movie. But if (like me) you're roughly the same age as Andy is, then the first two movies are amazing when you're a kid and the third movie is just about the most nostalgic thing ever made. I almost never get emotional in movies, but the end of that movie got me.
