Sandra Tahmasby

When visiting relatives in Armenia for the first time, SANDRA TAHMASBY discovers a unique culture, history and heritage in this oft-overlooked nation.

TUBE TALK | It’s not too often we see the same faces on the Tube on a daily basis, but imagine if one day as you hopped onto your carriage you saw a face that you knew.

TUBE TALK | This week I am preparing myself to travel to Armenia, where my family originated. It’s a very exiting journey for me as I get to discover the country of my heritage.

TUBE TALK | After putting the Tube love theory to its test I still wonder, can you really find love in a big city?

TUBE TALK | It’s the latest epidemic to hit London and it’s only going to get a whole lot worse. Each day at least five single gloves are left behind on the Tube.

TUBE TALK | This Australia Day let’s ‘Aussify’ the Tube.

TUBE TALK | With the English pulling down their pants for ‘No Trousers on the Tube Day’, SANDRA TAHMASBY examines what other types of ‘no’ days we could adopt here in the UK.

TUBE TALK | It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.

TUBE TALK | London: I’m coming for you. But Australia, I will always call you home.

TUBE TALK | “The world is our home; the Tube is our hallway to the rooms; so strut baby strut!”

TUBE TALK | Lately I’ve been paying extra attention to my fellow commuters and have come to the conclusion that the Tube has a special affect on people. It’s almost like a trance.

TUBE TALK | For the last few weeks, I have been unfaithful…There, I said it.

TUBE TALK | CAN I get in? Move down a little! Oooh, watch your hands.

TUBE TALK | To get into the Olympic spirit, this week I have been thinking of ways that I too can be an Olympic athlete competing for my country.

TUBE TALK | UNLIKE some of us still hanging to get our 15 minutes of fame, the Tube has been there and done that.

TUBE TALK | Etiquette: A code of behaviour that delineates expectations for social behaviour according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class or group. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

TUBE TALK | EVERY DAY I am reminded about my “first” time. Surprisingly, it was only 3 years ago and I was pretty good at it (even if I must say so myself!)

It wasn’t the Royal Enclosure but it was silver, sparkling and very racy. It was the Royal Ascot Silver Ring and orange and black spots were worn patriotically in support of our very own Black Caviar who did us all proud and contributed to yet another thing the Aussies do better than the Poms!

TUBE TALK | Although London Tube carriages are quite spacious, I often wonder if they could be altered in any way?
