Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

Happy chrimbo to you too. Feel proud, that's the first time I've said/written those words this year. Depending on my mood, it could be the last as well. :lol: Anyway back to trains.....

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

And yet another thread gets butchered to within an inch of it's life.

WTF is wrong with you lot? Do you spend your real lives nit-picking and quarrelling or do you just save it up to bore us with on here?

Please read this sticky post if you have not already done so.

I wonder!
BE serves us with people who cannot take or see a point other than their own! I am more than happy to critique aspects of life in both countries....without making it toooooooo personal...

:p

And I'm not talking about G!

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

Too right…better to have full price Sunday with empty trains than run a cap price for all zone travel like they have in Melbourne. Cheap enough to get the family into the city and back by ferry.

…I think it was light hearted comment. No need to jump on him.

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

That's my point Badge, too many people have been making things too personal......and its causing a nasty undercurrent to the place. Please help us to stop that!!
====================


Happy to discuss leaves in the line anyday, I've actually heard that excuse in both countries, UK and Australia.
I've also been delayed by cows on the line near Bath, and had a plane delayed at Hobart due to a wallaby on the runway........

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

Even a plane on a railway line in Africa. It takes all sorts.

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

It takes all sorts.... of patience , tolerance and understanding.

I once sat on a train in Eire trying to get to see my uncle before he passed away.
That train then reversed up because of cows ( & their slurry) on the track & I was too late.

Bugger all I could do . I was glad for the thought to safety, my persona safety, and incredibly sad to miss the quality time.

A big leveller on what is and is not important in life .

Those millipedes are gross. :sick: In early spring they're everywhere.

Re: Trains are so cheap!
 

Thanks Polly for removing the disgusting personal comments, unfortunately they just seem to be getting more and more common by the same few. I dont see it changing.

You just can't let it drop can you. If people dropped the subject and got back to debating the real subject of the thread we might start winning. While you all insist on raking up the squabbles again and again there will only be one result - more closed threads.
