F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute

Why is everyone suddenly using @username tags? This isn't fucking facebook.

[Kanda]

Ah! Ta!

 

[plurker]

I think it's the space in your username that's causing the issue. You'll just have to read every single thread now just in case.

300 posts by the time @onket gets home to his secret lair?

[_angel_]

Lightweight - 2 hours each way for a 4 hour job. Cycled half a mile, 1 train, 3 tubes, and a 3/4 of a mile run at the other end. I was fit by the time that job came to an end.

Two hours ordinary commute time two-bus-nightmare in Leeds. And I can't even say I've travelled that far.

 

[plurker]

@Kanda

Does it work if the original @ tag is quoted I wonder...?

 

[Kanda]

Nope

 

[Onket]

Ok so now we know you leave at five past six (really??)
You take a short cycle ride so lets say that's five minutes?
You get a train from a secret location to east croydon at lets say 20 past or half past past six.
You get to east croydon within half an hour.
That makes your journey about an hour on the train and maybe 20 minutes walking or cycling?

And?

I honestly don't understand why you need to ask any questions here.

I post a 'nightmare commute' thread. People then reply saying stuff like "Yeah, that's nothing, I commute for 5 hours each way" or "Yeah, that's nothing, I work from home" or "Yeah, that's nothing, I'm in Newport tomorrow & at the North Pole the day after" or whatever. Fair enough.

But then other people want to know where I live and where I work. The thread obviously isn't about that- it's about a long journey between two points. Those two points could be anywhere.

Did anyone ask the 5 hr commute fella where he lives and where he works? Or the work from home fella where he lives and how far he walks to the room with the computer in, and which room the computer is in?

No. Because it's not relevant.

 

[Onket]

Well it's kind of relevant when you post a thread about a commute.

No it isn't. See post #110.

 

[Onket]

He's not asking for advice on how to get to work so I don't see the relevance at all...

Correct.

 

[Onket]

I'm not sure haranguing him is going to get answers.

I thought he lived in Swindon, btw, but may be confusing him with someone else. It could be why he's keeping schtum.

I support Swindon Town. But I've not lived in the Swindon area since about 1996.

 

[marty21]

could you confirm if you live in a secret lair?

 

[Onket]

We recently had a discussion on another thread about whether it's better to live somewhere leafy and have a longer commute or go for a bit more squalid with a shorter commute.

Onket's got it all backwards.

No, I just live a long way away from where I work at the moment.

If you would rather live 'somewhere squalid' that's your choice, but I wouldn't say you've got it backwards.

 

[Onket]

could you confirm if you live in a secret lair?

No, but thanks for asking.

... it's about a long journey between two points. Those two points could be anywhere.

But when you tell us where one of those points is (Tulse Hill) and that it's reached via another (East Croydon), it kind of begs the question "where's the first?"

But anyway it's your secret to keep. I really couldn't give a fuck where you live, I just find your coyness amusing!

Perhaps you think I should have referred to East Croydon as 'the first change' and Tulse Hill as 'the final train station, where I board the bus'?

That would have been more consistently furtive!

It does indeed beg thequestion, but it hardly requires onket to answer.

No wonder they call you spymaster ...
