19QOS19 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I had to stand on a train all the way from Manchester to Glasgow at the weekend. I wish the c***s told me it was going to be full in advance TBH. Ooft! I assume you weren't caught by the overhead electric wires at least? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the second train that wasn't affected by the works (or whatever the problem was). Absolutely heaving. I was a bit disappointed that the c***s hanging on the outside of the train didn't pop inside to make me a curry. I took a photo at Preston when the folk coming from Liverpool got on: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Train station names in English and Gaelic. Camelon and in the gaelic "Camalan" ? What a waste of money. Some of the names have been made up to give each one a Gaelic name and see some make no sense Falkirk Grahamston is Baile a'GhreumaichFalkirk High is Bràighe na h-Eaglaise BriceThe gaelic for Falkirk is An Eaglais Bhreac 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Do Gaels make up names for places further afield? In the same way that Anglophones do with Munich, Florence and Burgundy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was worse was the people normally middle aged women, who hadn't turned off the keypad tone so when they were in a text conversation it was a whistle followed by a series of beeps ad nauseum. I can only imagine how mundane the text conversation they were having at 7.30 in the morning was. "I've just come up with a foolproof idea for peace in the Middle East but can't go into detail now as there's a really creepy guy watching me." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 When folk leave one item left in a big multipack bag rather than take it out and bin the giant and now pointless bag. Do Gales make up names for places further afield? In the same way that Anglophones do with Munich Also, folk that make up names for other places that they can't actually pronounce themselves, e.g. 'Munick'. Those that can't spell 'Gael' goes without saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I know. At this rate I'll be leaving early and having my tea about 3pm. No wonder folk in old fashioned times used to have shit like elevenses and afternoon teas. Imo, serves you right for taking sandwiches to work. Bairns take packed lunches, not adults. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I know 2 people called H. The annoying thing is none of our mutual friends know their full names so you always have to explain who you mean. Doesn't help that they look similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
