Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Gaz FFC said: Why would you sit at a table as a solo traveller? If you were working on a laptop and then stopped that is different. More leg room! More open / less claustrophobic. Often you only get chargers at tables as well. The 2 person seats are very much like sitting in an aeroplane which isn't very comfortable. 36 minutes ago, Stellaboz said: As funny as that sounds, I'm always more inclined to get myself into a normal 2 seat, put my bag down next to me and have the laptop on top of my lap. Whilst my beer and selected munchy sit on the flip down on the seat next to me. I might be outing myself as a bit of a fatty, with my laptop on my lap, I can't get the screen far enough to be comfortable. It's much better on a table, plus you've got somewhere to put your mouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If my sitting alone at a table prevents a group of 4 from being able to hold an inane conversation for the entire journey, I will consider myself a hero and expect the entire carriage to club together to buy me a medal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were working on a laptop and then stopped that is different. Should a party of 3 avoid the table as well in case four people get on later? Maybe as a solo traveller I should avoid sitting in the airline seat across the aisle from a table in case a group of five comes on. The bottom line is that if I'm on the train first I have the choice where to sit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the train from Huntly for the fitba on Saturday and three folk got on at Insch and sat at my table. Off to town for a day on the booze. They offered me a can of cider and had a good chat. There you go - solo traveller sitting at a table and everything worked out fine for all concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 One utterly abhorrent individual (not me) just coughed up and spat in the aisle, then cleared his nose on the empty seat next to him.Genuinely got a spiked heart rate seeing this c**t so that, hoping he gets off same stop so I can trip him down the stairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could set his hair on fire and then give him a bottle of petrol, telling him it's water. Your choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may or may not be true (my money's on it's not), but I'd wager it's a lot quicker to use a mouse than a touchpad. In fact, the fact that it's called a "touchpad" leads me to believe that that is the preferred control choice of the BEAST. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Followed by a swift kick in the pie. Seems the appropriate recourse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
