William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

And should there be anyone wondering what the heck the following is all about: Leun a sylli yw ow skath bargesi
Et mon a^roglisseur est plein des anguilles
Then good starting points would be to either get yourself a 1970s Hungarian-English phrasebook or watch the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6D1YI-41ao |
