OMG - and mine too! I love HB's sketch, soooo funny.


Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.*


*PGW, of course.


Disclaimer: I'm incredulous at the title of this thread so hopefully I correctly assume it is here to provoke a reaction - perhaps someone needs to relax at the Drones Club?

Haven't read the whole thread so I could be repeating already posted views - apologies if that's the case.


It seems to me a simple case of good manners. If you see someone who looks as though they could do with a seat more than you (elderly, looking rough or ill, heavily pregnant, coping with babe in arms or toddler etc.etc.) then you offer them your seat. It's juts the way a civilised society works. You don't have to. If you need it more yourself, or you're an arse then don't offer it. It's your choice.


OP - I suggest you take your whingeing "but It's not fair" attitude back to Mummy (who luckily for you was pregnant herself once) so she can make it all better. On the other hand she might tell you to man-up & show some respect for your fellow members of the human race.

Hang on, sorry to come in to this a bit late, but 'I love Hona'? Such short memories some people have...

IT'S NOT SO LONG SINCE HE CAME OUT AS A SELF-PROCLAIMED EVIL GENIUS HELL BENT ON WORLD DOMINATION, Y'KNOW!!

I recall he once even cited Rosa Krebbe as the ideal Evil Genius's bird, and you know what they say about judging a man by the company he keeps. Don't be fooled, one day he'll have you enraptured by his studious and hilarious ignoring of misanthropic ne'er-do-well trolls, and you all adore him BUT having diverted your attention he'll spring his fiendish trap of evil geniusness and we'll all be his slaves.

He's probably even got a Bond villain-style secret undergroud HQ from which to mastermind his plans (maybe located under Sydenham woods- all the 'beast of Sydenham woods' rumours are just a decoy. It worked for that other Evil Genius, Dr No). I wouldn't be suprised if 'jrussel' is just one of HB's henchmen, ordered to start this thread specifically to distract us from, y'know, all his Evil Genius type stuff.


What we need is a volunteer to be his nemesis...


I'm thinking "The name's Max, Ted Max" has a certain ring to it...

If pregnant people should pay more for the ticket because they need some extra space, then I suppose that overweight people should do the same. Or people who are simply too big. Maybe we should measure the price of the ticket by weight. ;-)

Ooh, there are days I'd gladly pay a premium for a double seat just for me and my handbag. Where can I sign up?


Also think that people who stink of fags should have to pay a six-times premium, to create a little barrier of fresh air between them and the poor mugs who have to sit next to them.


Thin people could get a discount if they're thin enough to cram three on a seat.

We could solve this whole business by making people pay per-pound. With the pay as you go oyster business it would be pretty easy to build a scales into the floor of the barriers that weighs you and then deducts the requisite amount from your card.




?Sorry I can?t come into work today. I?m too fat.?

Hmmm - the plan would need a couple of tweaks - the average weight of a heavily pregnant women would still be less than the average man AND they would still get the seat.


So I am (this is sooo tedious but I can?t help it) compelled to ask yet again to the poster why does it cost (the new revised figure) of 50% more to transport a pregnant women?

The presence of an extra consciousness causes friction in the ether which in turn adds to the drag on the train carriage thereby increasing fuel costs.*


It all makes perfect sense really once you decide to approach it from the point of view of paranormal physics.



*Same as with demonically possessed people and those with multiple personality disorder and we already charge them double don?t we?

They generally get an entire carriage.

...in which to commit carnage.

It could be called the mayhem and bloody slaughter carriage.

Of course, Brendan, of course.

It all makes sense now, the scales have fallen from my eyes.


Now let's get 'em picked up sharpish and start weighing pregnant birds at bustops, there's dough in this somewhere, I can feel it in me water.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
