My mum took the train to London this morning, she said this spotty IT geek was giving her the eye all the way to Temple Meads, she tried to ignore him but as the train entered the box tunnel he started hassling her to sit next to him. Feeling violated and a bit queasy she went to find a guard but before she could find one he got off at Swindon, left a wet patch by all accounts.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
You could have asked her if she needs any tampons.Originally posted by gricerboy View PostSo the train was full as usual and I sat in an aisle seat as usual. The seat next to me was empty as it had a reservation on it but its occupant didn't show up so I offered it to a woman stood in the aisle. She said "no thankyou" to which I replied telling her that I could move into the other seat and she could have the aisle seat, really no bother at all. Couldn't believe her response - "Look, just leave it - I don't want your seat!" she snapped and stormed off to stand in the inter carriage area standing on the door sensor every 10 seconds for the remaining 30 minutes of the journey.

Well, boys and girls, the silly season is now offically over, what with LNOTP at the weekend and all that - and I'm back out on the rail network again!
I have to confess I was so excited last night that I struggled to get any sleep. I was just lying there imagining myself where I would be in 7 hours time - on platform 2 of WSM station anticipating the throaty roar of those twin Napier engines that would announce that my journey was shortly to begin.
This, of course, also means the rivival of this thread; so watch this space for thrilling daily tales from the British rail network!Comment

Well of course and, under the circumstances, who could really blame you? Must have been purgatory!Originally posted by gricerboy View PostI have to confess I was so excited last night that I struggled to get any sleep.
