The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Left work late yesterday, & knowing it meant I'd no chance of catching my usual train, I opted for the bus stop to get me further along. Except the buses never came. Phoned the depot & they said "those buses don't start until 7pm."

"No they don't they start at 5pm."

"I'm looking at the time table sir, they start at 7pm."

"I'm looking at the timetable too you have printed at the bus stop - it's 1700 hrs - that's 5pm in the 24 hour clock."

"Um - gaunae haud on a minute while I check something?"

10 seconds later:

[Recorded message] "We are sorry, but this line is temporarily out of order."



I ended up getting a bus going in the opposite direction after giving up & deciding to walk to the local train station instead. When I reached it, the train I thought I'd no chance of getting was there - it had been delayed for over a half hour due to problems with the line. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry moment!

Shocked at Warren Clarke's death, although he was never the fittest man. They're all dropping off this year like flies. Last week it was Alvin Stardust, the week before that it was Lynda Bellingham. It's like being a wifey at a bingo hall & inbetween the games all you hear is "did you hear that's so-and-so passed away?" all night long.
