If he encroaches your personal space you're well within your rights to object.
If telling him to "**** off" isn't your style then find another way. Every person who does nothing adds to the problem. What if it's your Mother or Granny he's like that with next time?
Stand up for yourself.

Nutters on Trains
As part of my post Christmas health binge, I've resumed something I started a couple of years ago - walking the South West Coast Path. I haven't got very far in all that time; I'm still only in Dorset, but wtf, so I took the train down to Weymouth on Saturday & walked all around Portland (a place I used to know very well as I spent a lot of time there as a youth as it happens).
Anyway, on the way back I was thinking about how much it had changed since I was last there when I was presented with a far from pleasant phenomenon that has not changed much over the years; the presence of the obligatory lunatic on a train journey. He got on at Dorchester & as soon as he was on he sunk to his knees and started punching the air shouting "I f***ing gert made it" over and over again. There were only a few people on this train & I was the only one dumb enough to make eye contact so he made a bee line for me and plonked himself down opposite. I was then lumbered with him all the way to Castle Cary talking about the decline of the provision of tables in British Rail rolling stock over the past 20 years. I was inclined to agree with him though because had there been another table on that cattle truck I could have moved and got away from him.
