People sat right next to anyone doing the following (but not saying anything about it when they are clearly annoyed):

Worse - parents who sit their happily whilst their little darling plays a game with the sound on. Teach them good manners FFS.

i.e. passive-aggressive commuters who give the odd stare/glance but never say a fecking word and leave it up to people like me to say something even though we are clearly a little far away to be in the actual 'annoyed' zone but still far enough to be in the 'if I was next to you I'd be annoyed' zone.


Oh, and having to use public transport...

I helped a tourist struggling with two wheelie bags (one ickle, one big) down stairs to the C&D platform the other day.


Near the bottom she started screaming at me, I turned to her looking a bit shocked and she said

- 'oh not you, him'


I turned to see her incredibly chastised husband standing sheepishly at the bottom of the stairs.


I mouthed 'sorry' at him and scarpered!!

That actually caused me joy Loz. Going to towel down to that before heading to Bishop to sit in in the sun with Surfbobby for a couple of hours.

"The next station stop will be Forest Hill". What's wrong with "The next station will be Forest Hill?"


"Platforming difficulties". Reminds me of the old gag "The train now standing at platforms 1, 2, 3 and 4 has come in sideways".

I think that just means its the next station the train will actually stop at rather than speeding past many others.


I find country stations annoyingly dusty - is that irrational?

This isn't irrational rage but I'm going to put it here anyway rather than start another 'to the person who...' thread. Irrational upset perhaps.


When I got to my station this morning there were problems with trains so I cycled to Denmark Hill to get the overground round to the City. It was standing room only as usual. At the next station loads more people got on and I was pushed quite hard and struggled to stay upright - I'm a bit unsteady at times as I have problems with tendons in one ankle that KCH hasn't been able to fix.


As I tried to get myself stable the woman who had pushed me started making comments. I tried to brush them off but she got quite personal. I'm not going to repeat what she said but it hit a nerve and I ended up in tears, which I'm ashamed to say I'm still struggling to shake off completely. I could tell from her instant aggression and tone of voice that she was looking for someone to take her feelings out on, and in her anger perhaps she didn't realise how it might sound to the person on the receiving end.


My point is, please think before you vent your bad feelings on a stranger who just happens to be in front of you.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      All the more reason to support the BBC.  The last thing we want is a news service controlled by the likes.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      By beansprout · Posted

      I am genuinely curious… what is this obsession with keeping children active with things to do after school. From what I know, most  CV kids to rugby or football of a weekend but do they actually need activities during the week after school? What about going home, relaxing before homework and I don’t know, reading a book, drawing, Lego, constructing a car/plane.. even making some cookies…

      The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
