    A lady on a train tweeted that she had been talking to some Argyle fans who were slightly the worse for wear after drinking cider from 8.30 in the morning and who were on their way to the Argyle V Rochdale match ....... nothing wrong with that you say except the lady was on a train to Manchester ..... they thought it was an away match :emoticon-0104-surpr:emoticon-0104-surpr .... bet the air was blue when they found out their mistake lol

    <laugh> I read that too GAT not sure how true but had me in stitches anyways. I liked her response when the guy asked her to take a photo of them something along the lines of they are drunk, just realised Argyle are home now maybe not the best time unless you want me to get punched.

    I caught a coach a few years ago and it stopped at some services about half-way through the journey somehow I managed to get on a coach going back to where I just left!!!! That was abroad and there was the language barrier however the blood level in my alchol stream may have had a minor influence too!!!

    You couldn't make it up could you. Probably Forza Verde's finest. Fletcher could sign them on I suppose. Along with Chadwick and Feeney they couldn't find the back of a net.

    My sister-in-law got on a wrong train one Christmas when she was coming from the midlands to our's. She phoned us eventually to say she was in Doncaster and would be late. I didn't make that up notdistant. There are some quite dorky people out there.

    There is the case of a pensioner who was going 20/30 miles and had to use the M25........24 hrs later his family reported him missing and the police found him on the M25 still looking for the correct exit.....having filled his car up with petrol a few times he just kept going in the same direction hoping he would find it.

    I try to avoid motorways at all costs sensible.......Mrs Plym isn't keen about big vehicles pushing you along at speeds you don't want to do.

    I don't like travelling in cars much at all although I do travel on coaches. The big difference is the size of the vehicle and I can sit halfway back and not see what is happening in front. Mind you the view out of the side window is a real eye opener at times. The amount of people doing over 70 whilst texting or speaking on their mobile is staggering. I've seen lorry drivers with their feet on the dashboard and even the no hands driving method. The worst ones that cause the impatience are the lorries that pull out to pass another lorry. The one being passed is doing 60 and the one passing is doing 60.0000000001. Being in a coach you can't go into the outside lane so you are stuck behind it for half an hour. The lorry passing does get to the services 5 seconds quicker though.

    The trouble with lorries is there speed drops off on a long climb so you would overtake......and ten minutes later they'll be pushing you down the road again.

    I think his shoulder is still playing up Gat which means he is in a mean mood and ready to argue with anyone. It makes you lack a certain sense of humour.

    GAT

    I'm afraid my better half did the same thing on the M1 after a girl's night out. Rang me at 3 am to say my directions were faulty as she was definitely on the M1 as I'd told her. Twenty five miles southbound not 10 miles northbound though.......

    PS While typing, she's set off for Exeter to pick up a hall mirror she bought on eBay. I'm expecting a call from Tiverton in about an hour even though we lived in Exeter for 5 years........

    I have to report a sterling performance, back in good time with the mirror in one piece despite her phone losing its GPS signal.

    The mirror weighs about 2.5 tonnes at a conservative estimate and will test my DIY skills to the limit although to be fair, most things do.

    Before I moved into this present house we had it gutted and re-plastered from roof to ground floor in every room. I then had it painted throughout. I've told my Mrs that if she wants anything stuck on the walls then she had better be sure where because once I put it up it stays. Excuse being I do not want to drill a hole in a very smooth wall without current blemish for nothing and then leave it there for everyone to see. So far we have one mirror, smallish one, on the wall and nothing else. We've been here 5 years now. Works a treat.
