trains, planes and, er, well, ok... just trains

Upgrading to First Class for £15 - because, seriously, FUCK sitting next to other people.

£15 to not be boxed in by Nervous Student Man, Porky Businessman Who's Never Seen a Man With Nailvarnish Before and Brusque Rude Cunt Man.

The last feller showed up last and greeted me with a scowl and friendly "You're in my seat." I was, so as to not force Nervous Student Man to have to get up needlessly to gain access to my seat, but a little manners? Cunt. He then shunts my laptop out of the way on the shelf (which isn't short of space, he jut wants his bag next to him), notices my raised eyebrows and belches "oh, wuz that yours?"

I now have legroom, nobody sitting on any side of me and a cup of tea. So, aye. Fucking fifteen knicker well spent. The problem with public transport is the inmates.

Too fucking right!

Usually is. Buses would be fine if they didn't have annoying scallies playing 'tha hamster dance' on some tinny shite walkman phone, smoking skunk and throwing shit/abuse at the rest of the passengers who don't look like them. The fat stinking person who hasn't washed in years. Creepy oily man. Jack the lad who thinks he's God's Gift and doesn't have to pay to get on the bus like everyone else. Racist old man who thinks we should "send them all back to their own country" and whatever other unctious characters are on the bus that particular day.

No, buses are inherently shite.

I /hate/ the whole chav thing of playing music through tinny shite speakers on mobile phones. I think I could actually tolerate it more if the sound quality wasn't so awful !!

[hamsterhotep.livejournal.com]

Yeah, absolutely! One of my pet hates as well there, mate...

It gets even more annoying when they're just walking around doing it...Clearly they've spent all their money on the phone and can't afford the headphones to go with it ;)

some one did that in the pub but one of those ones with the small amplified speakers.

tip. mobile phones and drink do not mix.

I hear ya. Although some of the snooty twats in first class sometimes make me wish the train would derail horribly.

Other passengers suck.

Welcome to comfort :-)

Not here ... Just passing through

[lazrus-armagedn.livejournal.com]

Long time no here

I hear you're a daddy now too - Tremble mortals!

What's his/her/it's name?

Am I allowed to experiment on it yet?



Anyway ... Just passing through (will not be back on LJ ever) ... noticed this post and thought ...

LEARN TO DRIVE!

But seriously, folks ... apart from the dreariness of traffic-jams, your own transport has many things to recommend it

1) No 'others'

2) You can smoke as much as you like

3) You can come and go to your own schedule and go anywhere you like ... rather than places you don't really want to that are 50 miles from where you DO want to go, only to find that the last conection left 3 days ago and there won't be another for 3 months!

4) As long as you stay under the limit, you can drink whilst driving - It really ruins the Filth's day, when they breathalyse you, only to find that you blow green ... Take THAT, you fuckers!

5) You can take a lot more stuff with you, much more easily

6) You always have somewhere dry (if not exactly warm) to sleep

7) You can run people down



There are plenty of others, but I'm sure you can figure them out for yourself


Anyway, I'm off now ... Don't hold your breath

If you wanna contact me, you've got my number

Sigh. I miss riding passenger trains. It's been so long that it's become a distant memory, more than 2 decades old.
