It’s a bit of a concern when one hears one’s son start a sentence “There’s not many people on whom I”d wish a traffic accident but ……
What have I unleashed on the world?
I’ve given it a little time so that I can calm down, but it hasn’t helped that much…..
I would like to drink a toast to the cynical bastards that manage South Eastern Trains. These wossnames did bugger all to help their customers on Monday 2nd February and Tuesday 3rd. The information on their website was rubbish, and wrong, and they let us all down big-time.
I hope their shareholders are happy. They’ve screwed their most loyal customers – those with season tickets – by refusing to refund their fares for Monday.
I gave up on the Monday, but heartened by the web site which said there was a half-hourly service on the Hayes line, I trudged through the snow to the station to find it shut. No trains. And is it any wonder when you look over the bridge and see this.
How, pray, do you run trains which rely on the third rail for their pick up on rails you can’t actually see? And how can you claim on your website that you are?
PATHETIC
What an awful game. The only good thing to happen on Sunday afternoon was that we seriously pasted the Italians. But it wasn’t pretty. The tries were good, and brought a little joy to my heart in an otherwise pretty grim 80 minutes.
What a great start for the Irish – a great game and the right result.
Well done, boys!
So here’s the story.
A *unch of *ankers get greedy and severely stuff up the *ritish economy, so much so that my tax money has to *e used to *ail them out. This means the government has less money to spend on the things it wants to, so either there will *e less services or there’ll *e higher taxes, which means I, and all the other taxpayers will *e worse off in one way or another.
And the *ankers who kicked all this off expect to receive their huge *onuses?
In my humble opinion, it would be a criminal act to give them any *onuses at all. Let them take some of the pain the thousands of ordinary people have had to take – losing jo*s, homes etc etc. How dare they expect to get a *onus. They’re lucky they still have jo*s.
But, we live in the real world, and I fully expect our spineless government will come out with the usual excuses and give in to the *ankers. Jeremy Clarkson was right. We are being led by an idiot.
I’d like to apologise for my keyboard problem – I can’t seem to type the letter *etween a and c. It keeps coming out as *. Or perhaps it’s the letter *etween v and x. Who can tell?
