That one has got me a few times now. I would get off a train at X time, and 
see that the train departing was 20 minutes later and think "oh f***", then  
I would realise (:

As for the up PIDS... Pick a random number and put it in the time field. 
Usually it sticks at about 4 or 7 minutes, and jumps down to 3 then 2. At 
2, you see the train coming around the corner and "sonia with balls" goes 
off.
