It's fucking shit, train companies have just fucked me over

Serves you right for going to Wakefield.
That's where they make Piston Brokes.

Work innit, I wouldn't go there by choice.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:28, Reply)

Then why are you paying for the train fair?

( girlinthehole, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:30, Reply)

I'm not, I do give a shit that tax payers money goes on this crap though.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:32, Reply)

If the taxpayer wanted to save money
it would have given you advance notice so you could have got a cheap ticket.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:33, Reply)

I've actually found that walk up fares are £80 cheaper than booking online the day before.
I'll just pay it and claim it back.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:44, Reply)

I may be driving into your beloved Milton Keynes tonight
In order to catch a train into London, as all the cheap fares from here had gone.
True story that. If you get bored on your journey you can use it to regale your fellow passengers.

Tell the people at the station you know me, you'll get on for free.

Wow. Now I'm really starting to reap the benefits of hanging around on b3ta.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 10:33, Reply)

Did you see the story this morning about the regional 999 centres?
Half a billion pounds spent, for absolutely nothing...unbelievable

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:37, Reply)

It's not that unbelievable is it.
I mean, the fact that it actually happened makes it quite easy for me to believe it.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:38, Reply)

is that the best you can manage this morning?
basic facetiousness
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:39, Reply)

Could I do an impression of Nick Clegg instead, and answer every question in a rhetorical manner?
Yes.

Would this make me a face punch worthy twat like him?

Yes.

Been on radio 4 this morning?
I thought justin gave him a bit of a hard time
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:42, Reply)

I thought Justin gave him a jusifiably hard time
I normally dislike Justin, but he was spot on the money whey he pointed out that we are not the same as Greece or Italy, and what annoyed me is that he didn't pull him up on continually confusing "debt" and "deficit" as if they were one and the same.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:44, Reply)

he annoyed me by continuingly asking why things were not happening more quickly with reagrd to 'bankers bonuses'
when the point nick made about leaglly binding contracts really answered it, full stop.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:45, Reply)

Yeah, fair point.
Still, it was better than the pathetic attempt to interview him made by Bill Turnbull on BBC breakfast.

That said, did you by any chance hear PM yesterday when they had Richard Dawkins and some secondary school "science" teacher talking about intelligent design.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:47, Reply)

Bill is a light weight
No i didn't hear Richard Dawkins, not sure I can stomach himm in the morning, no matter how uch I agree with his 'beliefs'
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:50, Reply)

He was remarkably restrained
especially when the "science" teacher started questioning the legitimacy of radioactive dating techniques.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:52, Reply)

gosh, you seem to have misunderstood. i think he means "how it could have happened" is the unbelievable part

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:39, Reply)

I reckon whenever these things happen, the person or people involved in the waste of money should have to go to every nurse, doctor, fireman, police man, army man...etc.... who is out of work
... and say to them "I'm sorry you don't have a job, it's because I wasted half a billion pounds out of the public purse, my bad."

Have you ever heard anyone ever say "I'm doing fuck all for this company, just sitting about pissing away online, I'll quit my job to save the company some money."

it's hardly fair on poor fucking wakefield
to send him there though, is it?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:28, Reply)

Yeah, fucking hell, I might end up bumping into him.
Christ on a bike. Luckily, I have other things that require my attention, and I won't be in Wakefield.

So there.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:32, Reply)

Even if you did bump into him
he wouldn't take your virginity.

good for you
you dodged that rapey bullet

no, referring to fancying you as "foxy-lust"
that is quite pink!

Well "Darth-lust" is too geeky
and "trot-lust" is a bit too diarrhetic

How was Leeds?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:40, Reply)

Muddy!
Fucking brilliant fun though. Blinding sets from Madness, Muse, Elbow, Frank Turner, My Chemical Romance (oddly enough), and of course Pulp.

The Strokes were a sore disappointment... boring as anything. No passion.

Jared Leto from 30 Seconds To Mars is self-important tit with a messiah complex.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:54, Reply)

Of course he is
He's a ridiculously good-looking rock star who was in Fight Club. I'm confused as to why you'd be surprised that The Strokes were shit

Glad you enjoyed yourself though, in all seriousness
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 9:57, Reply)

Liked them at uni.
But Jared Leto... what a tit. He came on stage dressed in white, with some skirt thing down to his knees, with some sort of white gown thing on top. All very gay.

Some wag shouted "BUY SOME BLOODY TROUSERS!!" at him during a quiet moment.

Oh yes, it was me.

Even better was the angry staring of several thousand angry teenage girls.

Excellent.
