Tommy Nooka Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Conductors on trains that check tickets just after leaving Central where you've had to get through the barriers. What a waste of time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Conductors on trains that check tickets just after leaving Central where you've had to get through the barriers. What a waste of time! The barriers don't inform the conductor of the destination though. I generally skim but need to have an idea where kids/drunks/disabled people are getting off so I know to give extra time at their stop. I don't think it would be ethical to just approach these people to find out where they're going. Plus, you'd be surprised by the amount of people who get on the wring train and are completely oblivious to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give conductors a bad name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give conductors a bad name. I just look at them. I don't have a hole punch anyway (and didn't think any Scotrail conductor did). If the black strip gets damaged they won't work at the barriers so they did away with them. A wee boy was devastated the other day because I couldn't put a hole in his ticket. He wanted it to be like The Polar Express 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't let them down gently then they're too heavy. I must say I've found myself doing this sometimes, usually accompanied by a loud "f**k off" or "f**k's sake". Must just be the adrenalin/lack of oxygen to the brain. Used to find it quite motivating if doing bag work to growl at the bag and call it a c**t whilst hitting it. Will try and reign in such enthusiastic/caveman behaviour in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 No.5 to Hunter's Tryst? It was either a 5 or a 16. Pretty sure it was a 16 as the stop she got off, then back on again, was outside the Cameo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technical side of golf requires strength and coordination as well. You can fit a huge amount of booze in a golf bag. Seems the ideal sport for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try and reign in such enthusiastic/caveman behaviour in future. The only thing I growl at at the gym is the little c***s who hog the benches sitting staring at social media on their phones. Phones should only be used for the stopwatch or changing tunes while on a bench. This little arsehole was sat for a good 10 minutes the other day on Facebook before getting up and wandering away. Luckily I already had a bench or else I would've, erm, been very cross and possibly tutted very loudly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The display Juventus put on tonight, while impressive, included the hashtag plastered across the pitch-side stand in English #ITSTIME . I reserve the right to withdraw this PTTGOYN if it turns out to actually be an Italian phrase as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
