            Why are your contemporaries scummy nutters?

              I love listening to people having phone conversations on the train.
              It amazes me what people are prepared to give out in public.

              I once sat opposite a noisy woman and by the end of the journey I knew hew name, her address, her phone number and email address and her bank account number with sort code and which branch she was at. I also found out she was a property landlord and the overflow pipe at one of her flats was pi$$ing out hot water. To top it all British Gas (customer number reveiled) who she had her plumbing contract with couldn't come out for another 24 hours.

              I like to send people like this an email when I get home to put the willies up them.

                I can take a bus from my office to my client's office in manc in the same time..and I don't have to park. its literally door to door. cost? £6 return. Cheaper than the train which would cost £11 and takes at least 1/2hr. longer.


                Sure hope they're arn't any nuts on it.

                You know they guy probably got bored. I lived out there in Winnipeg for 12 years. Them praries are flat..not a single hill or tree anywhere. boring.

                  Top tip: carry wire cutters and just snip through the headphone wire. Hey presto! tinny music stops (though you may be faced with an angry commuter, so you might want to learn some Derren Brown mind tricks)

                    The trial that I was on the Jury for was regarding an assault on a bus.

                    It had been so long since I had been on a bus that I thought upstairs was still the smoking section.

                      They have an upstairs?
