  • 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

    Fair point. I am sure it's the same shirt every day. It's a short sleeved checked shirt in grey

    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

    I worry about you mate
    It's what my commute has driven me to. It way to stay (semi) sane.

    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.
  • 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.

  • Scrap that, I've found it!

    Can you share it please as mine is late so frequently I lose track when doing delay and replay.

    Plus the missus is out tonight so a couple of hours pouring over train times on Google incognito is on the cards.

    Ha, do agree that Bromley is a bit average.

    Beckenham is the place to be...

  • 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.

    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.

    Best off leaving it - if they only know you from this thread, they'll think you're a right maniac...
    True. Didn't have the balls. Ran away. He got off the same station as me.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

    What's a shooter Canters?

    Meant shouters. People who can't talk quietly and ensure the entire train can hear their conversation.

    Oh right, gotcha. Thought you'd moved to Chatham or something! :wink:
  • 5 carriages this morning. 8 is bad enough but 5?!
  • 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.
