Fair point. I am sure it's the same shirt every day. It's a short sleeved checked shirt in greyForeverAddickted said:How do you know Mr Wears-the-same-shirt-every-day is wearing the same shirt from yesterday?
i.e. I've three white shirts at home, one light blue and a grey one that I wear over the course of the week... Of course if I wear the three white ones on consecutive days it makes me look like I'm wearing the same one
It's what my commute has driven me to. It way to stay (semi) sane.Addickted2TheReds said:
I worry about you matecantersaddick said:Does anyone else, who get a a regular train and sees the same people on there most days, come up with names for the people you see?
So far I've got.
Mr Cuts-his-own-hair
Mr Clears-his-throat-every-six-seconds
Mr I'm-a-grown-man-but-I-wear-a-Manchester-United-rucksack-every-day
Madame Moans-down-her-phone-about-her-kids
Mr Massive-trousers
MR Smelly-c**t
Mr Wears-the-same-shirt-every-day
Miss Spends-the-whole-journey-doing-makeup-and-somehow-looks-even-worse-than-when-she-started
And finally Creepy Mr Murder
In other news it's now only 5 weeks until I move out and no longer have to do this commute. I will however be using southern to get to Victoria instead. Positive is it's only 17 mins on the train and theu are every 10 mins at rush hour. I Also have a tube option not too far away if southern have one of their little strops.
Can't wait. Will cut 2 hours off my travel time a day. I'll have no idea what to do with myself.2 -
Peeps, someone posted up a link earlier in the thread of historical train times over a set period or something like that.
Can someone post it up again, need to save it to my phone. The 07:36 Petts Wood to Cannon St is about as useless as a chocolate teapot at the moment.

On the train home. Can see someone on CL across the aisle. Not got the balls to introduce myself. Also scared I've pissed them off on here before.5

If you got the 18:10 from Victoria to Ramsgate service.
Hello.
It was me who was on the phone ranting about someone who works for me. Sorry I hate it when people do that. But sometimes you just need to vent.0 -

Some right creatures on my train tonight.
Loads of sweaty fat men. Loads of shooters. One woman near me very loud down the phone just came out with this classic "You made me ask him out on a date and now I have piles!".
WTF!!!! I don't even know what to make of that!!!13 -
Train delayed - check
Station toilet out of order - check
Train formed of 4 coaches instead of 8 - check
Broken doors on train meaning they continually keep opening and closing - check
All of the above for the bargain price of £2870 per year.3 -

9:36 from Bexleyheath cancelled due to shortage of train crew. Since when has that been an acceptable excuse. Imagine going on holiday and half hour before your flight being told sorry can’t go today, pilots not showed up.4
