My car links to My calendar so when I get in it it can see where I’m due to be going for meetings etc and sets the sat nav destination accordingly.  Very clever indeed. 

Be driving itself soon, another 19 years and 364 days

Not the first time a train company has been dismissed for buggering up. Have you seen what they've done?

Yes,  but like the water authorities an example of lack of true competition making mockery of private ownership model putting stakeholders before operations

I was checking times for Salford Central - Patricroft return for tomorrow...

Northern Rail.

Fat thumbed 'Salisbury' instead of 'Salford' on the drop-down...

£390.96

Three hundred and fucking ninety six British Pounds...

I'd fucking walk or hitch a lift with Sutty's ghost than pay that, utter fucking robbery.

But TMGJ, you ain't half become a cheerleader for this shower, you don't need to double up in Miami's absence tha' knows.

They (Defeffal and chums) could provoke Russia into a tactical nuclear strike against us, and issue a tax hike of 70% for salaries less than £40k, and a cut to 2% tax rate for those earning more and you'd find some convoluted way to defend them...

TMGJ - "Good old Boris, the fallout will eradicate the Covid Virus, and cutting taxes to 2% for monied twats will get them spending, the cash will drip down to everyone..."

That is fuckin outrageous. 
 

On a stag doo we went from Hamburg where we watched a game  to Berlin to see the Libertines, about 3 hours on the train. 
 

Train return was under £20. And it would have been cheaper if we had a railcard

Checked again if I'd made a mistake - it's fucking gone up!

£502.80

What a fucking joke.

patricroft > piccadilly £8.80 next day return

piccadilly > Southampton £124 next day return

southampton > Salisbury £19 next day return

Just arrived in Edinburgh. £93 return first class. Roughly half that for steerage, which is pretty good to be fair.

I used to regularly travel from Vienna to Brno in CZ. £6 first class, £4 standard. I went first and the carriage was empty apart from me. The £4 fare was steep for them in 97. Only 8 years after the fall of the Soviet occupation and the failed communist system. Think on comrade.

I get what you're saying, but it's ridiculous that you have to do that

I'm not going to bleedin' Salisbury, once was enough.

I know about that, you often save cash buying a ticket to a big station further along...

Just make sure it actually stops at the minor station one actually wants.

How many don't know about splitting etc.

Or are; grief-stricken, drunk, owd and doddery or simple and simply pay up?

Robbing cunts.

Some fucker is building a 'villa' on the old rally near Townleys.

That's our fucking land that is...

Same goes for land previously owned by the water board etc.

Fucking Lemon Socialist old fucking witch. Selling what wasn't hers to sell.

And they rip the shit out of Brown foe weighing in his sovereign rings, gold chain and bar wrist chain.

We had a split ticket coming, direct from Bolton. Change going back at Preston to keep the cost down. Trainline is your friend. It’s an app.

I've had a swastika.

I'm not ashamed of my heritage, they fought for each other, not Herr Hitler.

The Hammer and Sickle is a pisstake to folk who see imaginary 'commies' on here.

Slightly left of centre and you're Pol Pot to some.

Most simply bugger off (slightly left of centres) and thus 'reds under the bed' bizarreness propagates further.

Gracias, amigo.

I wouldn't be in The Klan, hanging around with other blokes every night and weekend and all wearing dresses.

Sounds dodgy to me.

Once had a stoned conversation about religious men loving wearing dresses but being against the homosexuals/trans/whatever else In their respective congregations 

Muslims - Dress

The Pope - Dress

The Jews - Dress

God - Dress

Jesus unless he was nailed to a bit of MDF - Dress

Buddhists - dress

Religion is full of cross dressing hypocrites

Funny that. My Dad was elected as a Labour Councillor, because he'd been to Cuba as a student student BEN made a headline out of Bolton elects Reds under the Bed.

The thing is, he was what you'd call a centrist now, resigned from the Labour Party because of the power of the unions in the mid 70s and has never voted Labour again. Also lead the first grant maintained school.in Bolton to get out of LEA control.

This idea that you can stick a pin in a person's views and that's that because they point out there might be a different way of looking at it is really odd.

Hence the bollocks about Red Mick etc makes me.womder if some.people have ever asked what a social liberal is and if they care as long as they can shout Commie at them.
