The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

GNER and the Daft WomanGotta be standing up all the way from Newcastle to London on a GNER train.
Reserved a seat, as you do, managed to get a nice window seat with a table going backwords - perfection, well unless you count the woman and her party sat in my seat! Now, this normaly wouldnt be a problem, just find another seat and tell the guard when he comes past, you did pay after all - guard comes by
"sorry, there isnt anything i can do"
"but i paid for the seat!?!"
"im sorry, she has been seated there since endenbough, i cant move them now"
"how about finding me a seat then?"
"there is none avalable appart from first class sir"
"move me to first class then, if seen it done before" (which is a lie)
"sorry sir" and with that he walked off
thank bob i got a seat on the tube cos my legs felt light jelly after that lol
no appologies for lenght but its nice to get it off my chest :P
