Thankfully I don't think I've ever got on the wrong train and I can't sleep on trains anyway.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wrong train once; realised after about three stops and was able to rectify the situation. Fallen asleep coming back from London (Kol, you just need to drink more to do this) but since the end of the line was one stop further than where I wanted to get off it wasn't a big deal either.

Not exactly.. I've woken up at the station *before* mine, convinced that it was my stop and scrambled off the train, only to have that, "Oh, bollocks" moment as the train pulled slowly away from the platform...
- Andrew Terry
That picture is awesome. And yes, I've fallen asleep on the bus several times missing my stop. I've gotten on wrong buses working on auto-pilot, forgetting I needed to take a different line.

I didn't fall asleep and miss my stop, but I did miss my stop because I was talking to someone.

Oh yeah.In my case I was simply lost in thought and totally missed the stop. Fortunately I got off at the next station and caught the train back. Was only 20 minutes late for my lecture ( but nearly 40 minutes later than i usually get in)

Distracted by card games, several of us managed to not only miss our stop, we ended up back at the station we started at. Therefore missed our connections (the last of the night), rerouted through another city, and ended up getting home, changing, and going straight to work the next day. Not good.

I can sleep on the way in to Grand Central Terminal, because it's the last stop so I can't miss it. On the way home I worry about missing my stop, so I usually don't fall asleep.
- Bill Scherer
I've definitely missed a stop, being sound asleep (long and early commute). The other times that I fell asleep due to too much drink, for some reason, I woke up just in time to get off at my stop. Although that one time, i wasn't looking too pretty with my glasses all askew and drool on my chin as I stumbled off the train. Good times.

Steven - I fall asleep on trains very very easily. :)

Just saw it... mixed opinion, loved the visual design and the kinetic set pieces but the acting and script is a bad parody. A regression not a reboot. Definitely a big dumb step back in intelligence from Picard and co's generation.

Well I thought it might be terrible but it wasn't too bad. Yes very pretty but helped with the 'future' ship.

This is more like it, much faster train home - compared to Tuesday.
I have a couple of my startup applications loading up twice (only 2 out of all of them). They are not in the two different startup folders (for my user and for all users). I've had this before and it required a simple registry edit I think. Can anyone help?
If I put the two apps in one of the startup folders they don't load up at all, if I put them in the other startup folder I get them twice. I've cleaned up the startup apps with msconfig too but no joy.

Give Startup delayer a try. That's what I use to manage startup apps.
