Agreed, but thankfully, they're not all like that twat. The last time I was down there, I was on business, but still stayed at my mate's overnight. I accidentally used part of my return ticket for roach material <laugh> I was praying I wouldn't get my ticket checked, but later, the ticket woman duly appeared. I showed her the torn ticket and my seat reservation. She would have been within her rights to bang me for the full return, but she completely let it go.

must have been your devilishly good looks :P.

Some inspectors are nice and some are absolute c#nts. If i was one i'd definitely make sure i was charging everyone

I don't use the train much - it's usually cheaper to drive - but I have gone on an occasional off-peak journey to visit my daughter in Bristol.
It's a really nice run down the borders and through South Sheepland (you have to change at Newport), and there's a really great ticket collector on that run. Very pleasant and really helpful with people who have any queries about connections or anything. It doesn't take a lot to be like that and it makes everybody's journey more enjoyable. Pity there aren't more like him.

Had a ****ing bad time at 4-5am this morning, woke up in a cold sweat with stomach cramps, head spinning, ears ringing

Went to the bathroom so I didn't do a spud from trainspotting then next thing i wake up on the bathroom floor on the other side of the room with a mashed up head ... totally passed out there and hit the shower on the way down

wtf ?? :huh:<yikes>

hadn't even been anywhere near a steely dan concert or a dooby


No drugs or alcohol at all? Get it checked out!


I had a weird experience about 4 years ago. Had terrible migraine at work. Didnt have migraine medicine on me but decided I needed at least to get some ibuprofen.

Came to, was in car half way to the chemist sitting at a red traffic light... I remembered intending to go get medicine and get in car but had no memory of leaving office or driving several blocks to where I was.
 
maimings?

Nah <laugh> It was a damp squib. though, literally. He's been doing a makeover on his back garden for months, which is not fully completed. What he has done is impressive. He's been planning this party for ages. He holds me personally responsible for dissuading him from suicide following the death of his Dad a couple of years back I just had a long chat with him.

I took 3 doobs with me, knowing he had invested in about £300 worth of lemo <laugh> He had a motley crew of people going from Latchford, Liverpool and Manchester. There were quite a few kids there when I first arrived. It was pissing down and the unfinished area of his garden had turned into a quagmire. Once the kids and their parents departed, proper festivities began. With great care, I managed to avoid going down in the mud, stoned as I was, but there were numerous, very funny slips and falls and even a token fight, with people rolling around in the mud, as in The Quiet Man. It was infinitely funnier than it sounds here, so I guess you had to be there <laugh>
 
Hate Halloween and Bonfire night worst nights of the year.

Don't hate them at all, actually quite like the time of year but don't get the big fuss around fireworks, they're alright but like I say above pretty samey and definitely nothing like as exciting as when you're a kid ... maybe I need to get a box and let some off again. They do get annoying however. Also obviously as a devout catholic I can't help but feeling needlessly persecuted :bandit:

****ing fireworks scare the crap out of the dogs and other animals, can't stand it <grr>
years ago my border collie would happily sit outside with me watching some go off . Then one year a neighbour was letting off his normal fireworks until suddenly Boom as a new (now normal firework ) was let off . From that day he was scared ****less of all fireworks.
Part of the problem is everyone can ,and does, buy fireworks that years ago would only be seen/heard at public displays - oh & it now goes on for weeks :mad:
