Nah he had hair. :lol:

Made the mistake of not going with UIA to Ukraine a couple of years ago. To be fair on my outbound flight last week there was 3 stunning stewardesses, never had that before with BA, the blokes weren't bad either :lol:

I was a bit gutted on the way out as there was a couple of gadgies on the way out, UIA made up for it on the return though.:cool:

I went to London on the train last week. Everyone was quiet and well behaved in first class.

First class is even worse, people think because they're in first class they are these big shot business wankers. I just used to get pissed, was much more fun.

I didn't think I was a big shot business wanker. I'm just an ordinary lass going to a meeting about new products and promos for the next six months. I ate my tea and then curled up and read my book. It was really peaceful and I enjoyed it.

I'm not on about you man woman. Glad you enjoyed it! I was doing it once a week for about 12mths, did my head in.

Defoe just got off my train at Durham, little England cases the lot. Had a car in the long stay car park as well, thought he would have flown.
 
Was on the train the other day and was talking to two cracking blokes originally from Yorkshire. They had some cracking banter, now living in America. They had some great tales to tell about their life in America was really interesting.

I could have flown or gone on the train, but I think the train is easier and more comfortable. It's easier just getting on the train and getting fed and watered all the way, compared to faffing around with security and being offered the chance to buy an overpriced sandwich.
 
In the 1990's when mobile phones were still new fangled, I was on a train to London. The guy opposite was on his mobile all the way showing off by calling his mates. As we pulled into Peterborough he called his daughter to tell her about a poster at the side of the tracks advertising the local Uni.

The old guy next to him was shaking his head. Mobile man then went to the toilet and left his phone on his seat. I kid you not but the old guy picked it up and chucked it out of the window. In those days the older carriages had little sliding windows at the top.

The few of us that saw what happened were all shocked but when mobile man returned and asked the old bloke about his phone he just shrugged his shoulders He then started asking around the carriage and we all denied any knowledge. Yes I know we had witnessed a crime but hey ho it was one of those crowd things and as mobile man was a complete tit it seemed the right thing to do to support the old bloke who'd had enough.

Mobile man assumed somebody had nicked it and got off the train so off he went to tell the guard.
 
You can fly to Berlin for the same price as a train ticket from Durham to Sheffield.
 
Had the reverse, one grim journey from Manchester to Swansea. Four hours on what was basically a cattle truck with no wifi, no power, no catering.

So bless the woman opposite me who spent hours talking on her mobile.

About being an exorcist.

Had people prodding me on Twitter if I didn't update every few minutes on the latest news about the menace of being possessed by demons. She looked like Lilian off Shameless too, which just made it funnier.
