Heading back home. The kids are alright, they were rightly in awe of me.

Transpennine has been great using them so far. This morning in first class got a decent full breakfast, all things considered. Until now. Train dalayed and ended up feeling like Bombay central with the crowds and the heat. Cattle class, seating reservations fucked, and I am sat next to a mackem twat woman I want to kill. She's been talking to her other half incessantly for 45 minutes now, her phone hogging the only charger whilst my battery is almost dead. Her fucking patter is so dull she almost makes Keith sound interesting. This is all shit, but what am thinking is, who the fuck is the cuckold on the other end of this mundane shitness? What man talks to his wife/gf/whatever on the phone for almost an hour so far at this point. She's middle aged and not attractive BTW. Might be a lezzer I guess but dont think so. 

Anyway, need my battery just to pay for shit and display my ticket nowadays. Laters*.

* If there is news tonight of a murder on the TPE, Rayvin did it.

Surely her phone is fully juiced after an hour? 
 

Just unplug hers and plug yours in while waving your lockscreen battery at her. 
 

If she speaks to you just pretend you’re Eastern European- guaranteed a racist rant. :lol:

Fortunately half the train emptied at Leeds and I didnt need to engage her, I am now the master of my own dominion (double seats). And then when I went to charge my phone, there is a Plug AND USB charger, so that's on me, since I have a plug adapter. 

Anyway, she got on at Liverpool I think, train delayed, and still talking to whoever now near York? 2 hour convo? GTF. She needs a special collection in your HGV MF. That's all am saying at this point.

Probably no one at the other end of the phone. Witnessed a smoggie doing this once after I clocked his phone wasn’t even turned on despite him talking at length about how it was better when you had the Ridings in Yorkshire as you knew where you were then. Mind, this was straight after a Hawkwind gig so fuck knows what he was on. Later followed by his mate almost getting mowed down by the only car to drive past in about 5 minutes. He was  admonished by phone man who said ‘Davey, man. You know you can’t cross roads’.

It’s like a working man’s club. Now and again some of the young’uns who are barred elsewhere come in, but mainly it’s the same ageing old farts.

 

What will you do @Rayvinwhen it’s just an echo…. 

 

:lol: 

 

I have actually occasionally thought about this, since this place seems to be a lifetime commitment. I think it'd be very sad, but I'd be grateful for the shared experience over the years.

 

Besides, I'm sure I'd not be long on anyone's heels, almost 40 myself now.

40! Young whipper snapper. 

 

Honestly, you'd be regarded as old in my previous workplace. I was literally in the top 5% by age at 54. The only person older than me in the Newcastle team was made redundant and I got the unenviable title of office grand dad. Not as bad in my new place but am still relatively ancient.

As the Earth orbits the Sun at a greater speed than the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft travel, it means that there is a period each year, when their distance from the Earth is actually decreasing. Even though the annual mean distance from us increases all the time. There’s a similar thing happens with the average age on here every time Quiff signs up

I thought at 56 I’d be in the upper age bracket at Damage. 
 

No chance, I’m virtually a teenager! 
 

You would not believe some of the creaky old fuckers driving these behemoths around. 
 

There’s one toothless owld Scotch lad who is the absolute double of Ramses II

We have now established between the mods that Quiff has been signing up and being banned from TT for about 17 years :lol: I am actually staggered by that.

It says a lot that I'm one of our least old posters, I'll be running the place for skeletons in a few years.
