Yes !

I hate trains.

I like good trains, like the German ICE, the italian Frecciarossa or the French TGV when the Frogs aren't on strike, but I hate the sort of bog standard, slow, overcrowded, lacking in sufficient clean bogs, rubbish old trains that run here in NL. Swiss trains can be delightful, especially in first class. I'm one of those people who will happily pay a premium to get, in no particular order;
1) less oiks in the train
2) cleanliness, especially clean and sufficient bogs
3) seat reservations (impossible in NL)
4) good food and wine served by people who have been to school
5) high speed
6) comfy first class lounges at departure and arrival stations
7) quiet working areas in the train
8) a feeling that the people running the service actually give a damn about customer satisfaction
9) punctuality

DB, Trenitalia and SBB can usually manage all this on express services so why can't the rest?

Yeah some European services are great - hell even some of the Hungarian Express services are good.

I try and pay First whenever I can but on SWT even First Class has a refugee look about it. I can't believe how small the goddamn seats are and how stuffed the carriages are full of miserable looking people.

Last night took me 2 hours to go 6 miles. I would have got to GF#1's quicker by walking.

He should fill it in for them to verify and sign

Not allowed, it has to be filled in, in full, by the idiots from human remains.

They finally sorted it out, or rather his line manager shouted at then.

I hope this is the end of all this tulipe

Ah yes, the 'dat is niet mogelijk' approach to life. Stupid cnuts.

HR jobsworths are sometimes difficult with those declarations; they just do it to make themselves feel important. There's no consequences for them if they don't tell the truth as they could sack him next week and if the bank enquire, they say 'at the time we signed the document we had no plans to fire him'.

Fingers crossed!

Get on the bike

Pervert!

Get on the bike

Would love to but it's too dark and dangerous on the NSL twisties at 17:30 onwards. Previous client I was leaving at 16:00 where there was a little more light. Have to wait a few more months.

Bad enough on the Ninja but at least I filter past all the stationary traffic.
