I see no mention of public transport there

This seems to be a decent "goes for a little walk, then steals Police vehicle" kind of savage mayhem - contractor stylee

Public transport annoys people full stop!!!

Hey, give all the little chavvy types some proper cans (like wot I wear!) - Beyer DT150's - unbeatable & nothing leaks outside of them!

If I notice somebody listening intently to my conversation, I slip into "planning an armed robbery " mode.
Keeps them occupied, enlivens their day, and usually I get to meet interesting new people at the local nick

Totally annoying, especially when I am on the phone to my broker discussing my latest share dealings in my loudest voice.

Get a car, you cheapskate !

"Some guy has worked out where you have to stand on every platform so that when you get off the train you're by the exit."

I already knew about that

So do I!

Is there anyone who doesn't?

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

There's a fun variant you can use when they're talking business, if they let slip which company they work for. As soon as they've finished, pretend to ring somebody up and say "Hello Myles, would you downgrade TheirCo from 'hold' to ' sell'?. Put it under code 4a."

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?

Proper contractors drive or get driven!

Can the mods delete this please

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)

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.
