Icebreaker
Back in 2000 I think it was, I decided to meet some internet types for the first time and travelled there by train. Wasn't really sure about the route so I just kept watching the stations roll by hoping I'd eventually get to the one I wanted. After an hour or so I was drifting in and out of consciousness when the announcement came up that we were at the station. Or at least that's how I heard it, what it had really said was we'd shortly be arriving at the station. So I jumped up, grabbed my bag and headed for the door, pulled it open (back in the day of slam door trains) and stepped off sleepily.

It soon dawned on me that we'd only reached the front of the platform and were travelling at a fair pace still, and it occurred to me that I must look pretty silly as I bounced off the platform, rolled backwards several times and stopped, arse up in the air, covered in dirt right by the people who I'd gone to meet.

As ice breakers go, it was pretty much perfect.
