F*cking nightmare of a bastard commute
- Thread starter Onket
- Start date
I ask myself the same question when someone posts a rolly eyes smiley under a quote about a train services being disrupted due to a bomb.............What the fuck is wrong with some people.

They could have waited until the trains had stopped running before fucking about with the bomb, it's been there 70 years, a few more hours wouldn't hurt
Are you really that stupid? You are aren't you? Once a bomb has been disturbed and discovered it has to be dealt with straight away. You know these things have gone off and killed people in the past right....? Do really want to be on a train passing by when it does? Thought not. And let's just get one thing straight here: the exclusion zone wouldn't have been put in place by SWT, it would have been put in place by the RN.They could have waited until the trains had stopped running before fucking about with the bomb, it's been there 70 years, a few more hours wouldn't hurt

The bomb's in the sea, the trains stop before the sea, so no trains would be "passing by".
Portsmouth Harbour station is next to the sea.....the clue is in the name.

I know, it's at the end of my line, but not in the sea, so no trains pass by, that's boats what do that.

We need the input of twentythreedom here regarding the relative risks to trains vs boats from bombs in harbours.
By the way Bungle73 - had a bad day?

The bomb is miles from the train station (I know I area well) - they haven't evacuated all the marinas etc so I don't know what the fuss is about.We need the input of twentythreedom here regarding the relative risks to trains vs boats from bombs in harbours.

No doubt Bunghole73 will tell me
Yeah, I'm sure the MoD go around issuing evacuation orders because they have nothing better to do.........The bomb is miles from the train station (I know I area well) - they haven't evacuated all the marinas etc so I don't know what the fuss is about.

And how could it be "miles", it was found in the habour.
And if you knew the area as well as you say you do then you should know that towing it out to sea would take it right past, and very close to, the area where the station is.
You're just making yourself look very silly by exclaiming "I don't know what the fuss is about". Yeah, a 70-year-old potentially unstable 500lbs worth of high explosive in a highly populated area. What's the fuss about?

AND ANOTHER THING

Not many people live in the harbour I suspect, so the risk to the local landlubbers only stretches to getting a bit wet if the bomb explodes and makes a pretty water feauture in said harbour. Nowt to worry about - the MoD are just drama queens, trying to justify all the money we spend on them.

Ever noticed how these bomb disposal wallahs are all 'experts'? Never get any amateurs, part timers or just average bomb disposal people. Bit elitist really.
Winot
I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
I think we've all had enough of 'experts'.

We need to take our country back from these people and let the common man have a chance. I nominate Bungle to go first.

naturally fluffy
now there's an idea.
can we get michael gove to go and deal with it, then?
You know what a habour is for, right? And you understand that bombs going off produce shrapnel, right? Shrapnel that can travel long distances. Why the fuck am I even having to explain this to you?

I think Bungle73 thinks the bomb is located in a puddle on platform 3 of the harbour station - hence the entire county needs evacuating.
As long as train passengers don't go swimming in the harbour while waiting for the train they'll be fine.

Fucks sake.
South to North on the route - 'poor rail conditions' (whatever that means), tree on the line and flooding. Wonder if I win a prize for three simultaneous reasons for delay?

Was a pet squirrel involved?

A fucking platoon of the little fluffy bastards.
That Bungle73 should keep his bloody menagerie under control.
Finally left the station a mere 38 minutes late. Train is rammed to fuck too - but I've turfed someone out of my reserved seat.
If they keep up this shit performance at least I'll be able to claim for the delay. A single journey delay claim of 30-59 minutes is only worth a fiver, but better than nowt.

We did this on the way to Cornwall, got on at Reading and two scummers were in our reserved seats. They scurried off to look for seats in another carriage, (no chance), then we realised it was Saturday so sauntered off to first class for the weekend upgrade. :::Humph:::

You get bonus points if you turf an old dear from your reserved seat.
And lots of dirty looks.

Train originally meant to stop short of victoria, was pushed on to prevent delays to following trains whilst the two passengers looked for their pet, got to victoria, no passengers/squirrel Similar threads
