Scenes on the train

[Anonymous]

Without this thread we would not have had the brilliance of Strangeways' "Poland annexing blue eyed monsters" or Nijinsky's "You make Ian Curtis sound like the laughing policeman."

Long may it continue!!

Fucking brilliant.

On my usual Friday train journey and I've posted on my experiences before and today is worth another thread.

Sat around me are a number of people who can't seem to match the seat number on their reservation to the one on the seat. It's not rocket science. There's a carriage letter, which is A, C, D or F. Then there's a seat number and there's a number on the seat itself.

Then opposite me there's a fat ginger bird (does it get any worse) who's spent the whole of the last 45 minutes putting on make up. No matter how much you put on love, you're still a fat, ugly, ginger bird. And the Brummies haven't even got on yet.

Now the "catering manager" is telling us that the catering crew will be changing in 10 minutes (why - we're in the middle of nowhere?) so to get our refreshments before they do. What are they changing into?

Going to be a long afternoon I reckon.

I love birds with ginger hair (not fat one's mind)

I love trains

You should try the 23.20 from Oxford Rd to Urmston on a Saturday night then, its brilliant, the best 12 minutes imaginable, all the drunken pub goers and the merry theatre goers all pile on, everybody talks to each other and there is usually a sing song(not football related)
Groups of middle aged women on nights out without the hubby try their best to chat up young lads who look suitably embarrased at some of the things said or flashed at them and the women all cackle away as a result
It will get better and better as it gets nearer Christmas as people lighten up and get merry, everybody should try a train journey to the suburbs at this time of year its great, i love trains too

What you mean is, Underpants, is that you talk to everybody and then start singing a football related song.

Yes, Paul M'cCartney's ex girlfriend with brother Peter.

Did PB ever alight the train, or is he banged up in the sidings for the night?

Hope you weren't on it last night.

Not much singing but plenty of fisticuffs.

And that was just the 500 that managed to squeeze on it.

Fuck knows what happened to the 100 or so that got left on the platform.

Don't think I've ever seen town so packed as it was yesterday.
