Oh, no!
I forgot to call my taxi, so I'm going to have to stay here an extra hour (only one train per hour)

When was the last time you got stuck somewhere, and why?

Alt. Q: Anything, really, just keep me entertained.

Actually, I believe that this actually happens with dogs
once he's shot his bolt they have to stay there until he detumesces.

It's foxes isn't it?
They stay stuck together for over an hour I think. It's to make sure that the males sperm is fully passed to the female and to also make sure that no other male has a shot straight after him.

It's not very exciting now
although it was at the time. And terrifying.
I'd gone up to Aberdeen to visit a friend, was due to change at Edinburgh Haymarket (the little train station) but they changed the platform my connecting train was going from and I didn't hear the announcement until just as it was about to leave...
I was told there probably wasn't another train until the next day but to go up to Waverley (the main station) to check, and lo, there wasn't. They ended up putting a sleeper carriage on the Royal Mail train to get me home, but not before the hard nosed cunt in the ticket office terrified me to tears by threatening me for missing my train and trying to charge me for a sleeper ticket. I had to wait in the passenger lounge for 6 and a half bastard hours with no money, no food and only one book which I'd already read. They did give me some free squash though, probably because they felt bad for making me cry.

No...
they weren't under any obligation to feed me or even to get me home. I would have had to stay there all night - not that I could have done, as the passenger lounge wasn't open 24 hours - if they hadn't put a sleeper carriage on the mail train for me.

Aristophanes
is a tedious cunt. Euripides, on the other hand, always put me in mind of a nasty little schoolyard bully. You know, the little rat boy that acts well hard but runs off screaming the minute you turn around to give him a slap.

Aeschylus tops Aristophanes, though. For God's sake, just don't.

Dionysus decided to go down to the underworld to get a great tragedian back to make Athens great again. Lots about the Eleusian mysteries.

I went to a gig with a mate of mine
He went crowd surfing, someone thought it would be funny to jump, grab his head, and pull him towards the floor by it. He hit his head fucking hard on the floor, and due to previous head injuries, he needed to be checked out by a paramedic. They spent ages checking him over, making sure he was OK, but we ended up missing the last train, leaving us stuck in Manchester. The only person we knew in Manchester at the time wasn't answering his phone, so we ended up getting a stupidly expensive taxi home.

Except I wasn't carrying my driving licence.

Long story, I'd missed a flight to San Fran and I was due to present at a conference the next day. Virgin only had one flight a day to SF so they put me on the next flight to LAX for nowt (which was nice of them) but, understandably, told me I was on my own after that.

There is, on average, one flight every 10 mins from LAX to SFO. However, there is no way of checking all the airlines simultaneously (this was 1998) so I guessed at United and it was 10 hours before they could get me on a plane.

When I was a boy
I got stuck in London after missing the last train after gigs loads of times, when I had to be in school the next morning. You'd have to get the milk train at about 3:30. What joy.

I also got stuck in London aged about 14, when I'd gone up to get some chelsea boots and some gig bootleg tapes with my brother, from Kensington Market. I got separated from him but made it to Waterloo at which point I couldn't find my ticket. The British Rail cunts wouldn't believe my age (due to my height and general groovy clothing) but in the end they let me get the train if my mother paid at the other end. After this happened I found the ticket in my stupid waistcoat pocket, sorry mama.
