    When Mrs RC & I used Eurostar to go to Holland, the journey was spoiled by a Kraut eating a garlic sausage with his penknife and stinking the carriage out with the stench of dodgy offal.

    But isn't that why we don't like the continental types? 'Cos they pong even worse than proper British tramps?

    A slightly limited choice at this evening's restaurant, which is actually just a posh pub. They have a decent Argie Malbec which should work well enough.

    If only this ******* train would actually go at intercity speed instead of bicycle speed.

    I had to get off the tram a stop early because I could no longer stand the stench of stale piss from the tramp occupying the other end. Most unpleasant.

    You should say something. "Excuse me, I like a good sandwich as much as the next, however if you continue to insist eating that sandwich then I must warn you I might all over you"

    Should have stayed in Vienna.

    Mind, I could have just stayed in the Hague, which is rather nice too.

    started a topic Train; it just had to go wrong didn't it?

    Train; it just had to go wrong didn't it?

    Up to now, it was an extremely pleasant journey. I have a seat, t'internet's working, I have an electrical socket, the train is clean, and an attractive girl has just played some Bach cello suites.

    Now some f**king OAP has got on the train with an exceedingly smelly sandwich!

    WHY can't people consider other passengers when taking their packed lunches/dinners on the train?

    I don't know what noxious mixture of processed sauces and blue-boiled eggs she's put on that sandwich, but it reeks!

    Only one thing for it, time to start farting!

    And now the train is sitting still due to a points failure, as per bloody usual!

Working...
