Snoring

I got the packed 1252 from Edinburgh to Crewe on my way back from Scottish Gov Camp yesterday. Standing room only when we departed.

We had only got about 5 minutes in to our journey south when a guy 3 rows back from me started snoring. He worked very hard at his sleeping

The guy was totally oblivious to what was going on around him, unlike the rest of us who listened to this, without a break from Edinburgh to Preston. I had a bunk on the ‘sleeper’ train on Friday night and wasn’t able to sleep as soundly as this.

Search Terms

I’ve just been doing a bit of updating of my very under utilised blog. As you can probably tell I have changed the theme, I reckon changing the theme regularly will cover for the lack of regular new content

While I was messing about with the theme and stuff I had a look at search terms people used to find me.

Dead Badgers
Mike Rawlins Trains
Stoke-on-Trent Crime
Tesco poor service

Looking at the content (what bit there is) they all seem pretty reasonable search terms, apart from Mike Rawlins Trains, why would anyone want to know about me and trains? It is not a particular area I specialise in, nor am I a train spotter.

Maybe I should become a train spotter….

Random stuff from a train journey

Taken from my Twitter feed and tidied up a bit.

Look if you dither about in the doorway as we are getting on the train I’ll walk past you. Don’t whinge to your friend about me being rude. It’s a rush hour train and standing half on and half off the train saying to your friend ‘i’m going to make sure we get a seat’ isn’t helping is it? Anyway isn’t Tuesday pension day or something?

This guy sitting next to me on the train trying to make conversation with me ‘what you listening to?
Me ‘You Fat Bastard’
pause while he let’s it sink in
Me ‘the anthology by Carter USM’
