supermik Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 On 22/11/2018 at 14:07, Archie McSquackle said: I got the train to Euston this morning and as it was at 6.30 I knew I'd be looking for a bit of a kip so I booked a seat on the quiet coach. Two women across the aisle were blethering but I didn't know the woman behind them was also with them until another friend got on at Motherwell- cue endless shite talk. Why would a group of four women book on a quiet coach? We had not been on a train for years when the wife booked a couple of first class tickets to Newcastle. They were in a quiet coach , we had no clue what that meant exactly. Within minutes of leaving the station, the wife’s phone rang, ‘twas the daughter. Wife answered and proceeded to chat away as normal. Within seconds an irate woman appeared and demanded that the wife hang up the phone . Live and learn I suppose! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite picture aside is there anywhere on those trains to store a double bass (or whatever it is?) Worth a few bob and, maybe, something she makes a living from. Would be a bit dodgy to leave that unattended on a train that people from Paisley use regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a cello, and even though it's one of my favourite instruments, it wouldn't be taking up a seat and leaving me to stand. Its owner could stand in the doorway with it, or they could use a different mode of transport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Playing a cello is, very much like, making love to a beautiful woman. You, rub it gently with a long hard instrument in your hand until, it makes a beautiful sound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climb on top, slap it around and poke at it with yer fingers til the song's finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got more of a problem with the lassie sitting with her feet sticking out into the aisle. Makes it a bugger to get past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's no cause for complaint when a cello with a ticket is occupying one. Especially on a train with no luggage compartment. I was once on a train from Glasgow to Edinburgh (via Motherwell - ultimate destination London) where a couple of women had a cello which they'd propped in the seat opposite. The ticket collector knew that the train would fill up at Edinburgh and got them to move it to the luggage van. This of course is not a possibility where the train doesn't have one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
