Lunatics on the Metro.

Had a rather interesting journey into town today, won’t bore you all with the details but a deranged young man made a beeline for me as I got on at Hollinwood, pushing and shoving and wanted to fight with me, followed me down to another part of the tram. I ignored him but he was wired to the moon and I assumed he would look to thump me at some point so managed to recruit a couple of guys to back me up if needed, he then went started abusing others and went for one of the guys I had asked to help, I stepped in between and the lunatic finally got off at Monsall, not exactly pleasant for anyone.

on the return journey i was like a coiled spring ready to smash anyone with a makeshift knuckle duster if they looked like a threat.

the tram system can be really good but something needs doing as it seems there are more and more deranged people using it, i for one wont use it again in a hurry.
To be fair he was probably just trying to tell you he had been on Eggheads.
 
Someone kicked off on my Father on the Met once. He was coming back from a day shopping in Town with my Mother and this lad got right in his face offering him out for no reason.

My Dad’s an hard **** n’all but didn’t even react, just stared at him motionless and the lad backed away.

What about the time I wasn’t on the metro and some 17 year old Bellingham end on crutches started telling me about when he was on some quiz show called nobheads or something
Sounds like a goer, can he play left back?

Rochdale to East Didsbury unfortunately has to travel through some rather heart-stopping places in between. Some right rough-arses getting on 'n off at stops which I shall desist from mentioning. Yer ok upto Milnrow and after Monsall. Anything in between could be mistaken from a scene from One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest.
