The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Well I guess I really jinxed things there. Got to station over an hour early to find it closed and surrounded by police. A taxi had caught fire in the underground car park beneath the station. Quite a few delays, therefore, but not too terrible and plenty of information available. Excellent chance to practise my self-control listening to people making melodramatic, highly exaggerated phonecalls along the lines of "the station is on fire and I may not get home tonight!!!" Erm, no, a delay of one hour is not that bad and why are you freaking out your loved ones with terrifying claims of a major incident at a London station in rush hour? funking thoughtless self-absorbed idiots.

Luckily I'm a jammy thing and my train left on time. I consider it a reward from the railway gods for calm behaviour.

Don't get me started on the people on the train though. I'm in danger of borrowing Minty's soapbox. Phew for headphones to block out this tripe. And the mini-bar. My saviour.

Grumble grumble grumble. Sorry. Normal service will resume shortly.
