Outside of London you'd do it - but here even if I feel charitable - I assume the story is a lie and I won't see anything back.

A few years ago the EDT had a large Welsh contingent on 6 nations matchdays. On the subject of Welshness I remember ... GwladRugby forum used to have a question to test your Welshness It was such a simple, obvious question too - unless you weren't ;) The Welsh Language club in Cardiff (Clwb Ifor Bach was it) had a question the bouncers asked you too - in Welsh. But it was apparently always the same (allegedly) - so not hard to cheat.

Apparently 20 Conservatives squatted in the Romanian club too. Bl**y Tories.

Welsh regions actually in talks with the WRU and no-ones stormed out yet.

I get the feeling information is not being shared at present. Cancellations pop up way after they have happened - then no thought goes into management of the consequences just a free for all.

don't get offended - just think it's a bit sad. It's like a job they all hate - but get payed too much to walk out.

In my opinion it is 'little' things like this that start the long decline of services. The customer is just being left to wait with no information. Isn't this scenario planned for = are other buses passing that can update ?

People still try and beep you to move forward even when the forward exit is blocked. Usually they want to turn left and left is clear but forward isn't.

I was sure 'Malcolm' was about to swear badly at the end. The assistant actually backed away from the Psycho.

totally wrong that people should wait Is there a dump to take it or are you stuck

A certain generation remembers Old Spice being loved by our Dads In reality it's not that bad.

The 70 quid one were the sainsbury best ones (black norfolk something or other) - maybe the standard ones had all gone. I got a standard medium size one for ?21 (labelled 8-10 people) - most larger ones were around ?30

Sevenoaks trains still saying cancelled on my iphone app (11:25 cancelled looks like 11:55 cancelled too)

Is it youth club night? that was always when the 'bobby knocking' (that's what we called it) used to happen. I have video to the exit of my flat - and when I get strange callers they always look religious - and I don't answer. cle Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > tiddles Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > yes we've had that - teenagers I think (knock > down > > ginger).

Really does depend what your idea of a nightmare is - but being crammed into a small space like cattle is many peoples nightmare - and it does make stress worse if you can't change it. As a general rule I don't have nightmares about really bad things (war, disease, apocalypse) - real nightmares are often about the small things. lane lover Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Today, there were delays across most of the > network.

I email southern comments now - especially as the excuses aren't even consistent (bad track conditions one end, issues with overhead lines the other). Once they even said' we are sorry for the late arrival, this is due to Denmark Hill' On complaining they said on the return email they might email me back in a few weeks - as they are so busy.

Today one train was late because of bad track conditions or overhead wiring problems (whichever you choose to believe) and one was cancelled. I did see a huge spark above the train mind - so maybe the wiring.

All I see at Peckham Rye is late ... Late .. Late Impossible to plan Already this morning I see 4 x delayed ... What's wrong this week again.

Sounds like a useless Private Investigator to me or Inspector Clouseau

well, there's no police lines/markers up here that I can see. Stabbing in Borough (where I also was last night) - Is there a bad moon.
