The cheeky conductor I keep getting that accuses my friend of being 16 when she actually is only 15! I think he needs to get a life, I wish thats all I had to worry about :\

Have you seen the old lady who doesn't seem to ever accept a railcard without checking for a forgery? Now she's annoying, and misses most of the passengers on an empty train :roll:.

I think I might know the one you're talking about. Have u seen Grandma Death that gets on at carmyle? the old woman with the blue coat that gets on at the back and moves to the front, she gets let on for nothing and just walks through the barrier checks, then steals papers. Shes annoying.

No way! She showers in her garden im told, and i don't think she can talk :|
That junkie at Central is still annoying me though the cheek of him asking kids if they can give him money which is clearly for drugs.
Oh and we got no snow today either! i wanted some at least.
You have a Pm btw :)

Is that junkie the guy on meths who balances tobacco smoke un each finger and stands in the centre of the station on one leg, or a new weirdo?

Anyway, if I meet him tomorrow, I'll... do something :lol:

Oh no no this one could walk, but pretends hes embarassed to ask for money, which is his day job. He lurks about at the ticket machine before the escalators to Platform 14/15 but no doubt you could find him under that vile bridge as well.
New annoyance for tomorrow - I have to go to some girls party and i cant be bothered! Although i did spend £3.40 on her present + card which i believe is a new record for me :)

But.... do you admit to being 16? :p

Just tell her to get a photocard - problem solved!

Several things annoying me.

Trying to do a maths practice paper for C1. Not done very well - always get lost on the sequences and translation of graphs, which made up half of this paper.

Now I have to go to work and sell stuff to moronic customers who have this idea that everything is 110% off because it's January! And then they look at me as if I'm some kind of scum when they find prices are not that much different.

Not a very good day at all :x

What annoyed me yesterday was the end of FGW Valentas. Finally ended with the 2245 PAD - SWA on Thursday night, the final sight of 43002 was as it left on the ECS to Landore around 0324 Friday morning.

Lots of things annoy me:

- People that complain about Bush and Blair going to Iraq for oil and drive 2 ton SUVs.

- 'Rail enthusiasts' that turn up a galas on preserved railways in their cars, don't travel on the train or donate money and go home.

- Rail enthusiasts that travel on trains without paying for tickets.

- Tabloid newspapers blaming new immigrants and the weakest in our society for all the problems

- Huge MP expenses and multiple directorships.

- The human inability to see the big picture and act like they are in a giant petri dish.

- Massive payouts to people that don't service the wages. Like 3 day week bosses who go home to let the experts do the jobs, or blame people at the coal face in their organisation when things go wrong, pretending the buck stops with me.

- From above:Footballers that can't win football matches and are paid 3 times more per week than most people are paid a year and can't win a football match against people brought up in the slums

- Spoilt brats, that think hardship is walking to work/schools and not having a TV in the bedroom and pester their parents in the supermarket

- People that throw large amounts of food away when there are starving billions.

- People that believe everything in the Sun and Daily Mail

- People that vote as a lifestyle choice, or don't really know what they are voting for.

- The cult of celebrity

- People that drive less than 1/2 mile and complain about the amount of cars on the road

- Large bills that always seem to turn up just before Christmas

- Those annoying cold calls and junk mail and email spam

- People that say what, oi and eh and grunt

- People that walk up to you in a shop and pretend to be your best friend and try and sell you something

God that feels better..

I'm getting some crackers at the moment. "Our electronic sensors indicate your penis is too small, Sue". "Find love at strip-poker.com"

I'm Windows Live, so the e-mails go to a junk folder where I can just delete them. I've used it for a while, so must stuff gets filtered instantly and accurately.

With friends like mine, that involves giving no-one your address.

A sensible precaution is to have two. One which you give to trusted people, and one which you give to dodgy websites.

A gritting lorry. Riding into a grit-storm at 50mph isn't my idea of a good Saturday night out.

...and one which you give to dodgy websites.
What kind of 'dodgy' sites do you visit? ;)

all my spam problems started after I put my email up for contact on the trainz forums. Before then, I never got any.

The petrol station had run out of unleaded, and then at a T-junction a branch fell out of a tree and hit me. Those were both a tad annoying. I look forward to seeing what lovely things will happen on my way home tonight (that's IF I don't run out of petrol myself, and can remember how you leave Woking aided by those very helpful, non-existant signs...) :lol:

Trying to get home after some ****(s) knicked the cables at Clay Cross, we decided to go via Lincoln but by the time we would have got to Nottingham one of our group who needed to go to London would have missed the last train so had to bail at Newark Castle and go to North Gate for a GNER 1 1/2 hours later to just make the last train home to Swindon. We managed the 21:45 ex Nottingham and managed the last train home after a quick walk across Brum. To make matters worse we got a 158 from Sheff to Lincoln and not a 142 or 144, was looking foward to some bolted track thrash 8-)

Was watching that one unfold at Derby - seemed to me that only the 1818 MML Leeds train got through with all XC services and most MML Sheffield services cancelled with a lot of buses lining up in the car park.

I ended up getting the 1824 Plymouth train from Derby to Brum which was restarted at Derby formed by sets arriving from the South that got cancelled going north.
