I think that might be the final straw for me at the RailUK forums

Who in their right mind uses amn't?

It's a Scottish thing apparently, so I think you just made an ethnic slur, or something.

Good. James Joyce and the sossmakers by the looks of things.

World Wide Words: Amn’t

 

[mauvais]

Hmm. It's not quite as weird as shan't which looks like some sort of bollocks language from Stargate but it's still pretty odd.

Irish people.

Thing is, it's quite astonishing reading Bungle's words but then I suddenly get a mental image of what it would be like to actually be Bungle and I have to go and have a lie down.

I associate it with obstreperous posh kids - it's probably in those Narnia books

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Still one of my favourite thread titles.

It is interesting that it is the origin of the word "ain't" and more so, that it explains the phrase "aren't I" which most people don't bat an eyelid at and which I hadn't even thought about until reading the article I posted above.

It HAS NOT been edited. Stop making up your own fake facts. And how am I supposed to remember something I wrote days ago. I told you the gist of what it said, yet as usual you're trying to make something out of nothing when it involves me.

What do you mean "as usual"? I don't think I've engaged with you for years. In fact, I've pitched-in on your side when I think you've been tagged-teamed by multiple posters. Cheers for recognising that. Not. I won't bother in future.

I was the one who was harassed!I was the one who was accused of doing something illegal when I had not. I was the one who was stopped from going about my business. I was the one who had my day out ruined.

You weren't harassed, you soppy git. You experienced some shit customer service and got your knickers into a twist over it to such an extent that you caused it to ruin your day.

You had your day out ‘ruined’ by a disagreement over a ticket? Jees.

So, it turns out that I wasn't banned at all. Got a reply to an enquiry to be told I wasn't banned, and now it's suddenly working again........

Do you think that you might have just forgotten to log in?

Happened to me on Urban once, though I didn't start a thread about it.

 

[neonwilderness]

This forum is funny. Ignore the clear T&Cs of a ticket and fall foul of it and you're a "victim" of the "unfair" railway, where as if you travel on a perfectly valid ticket, within the terms of its validity, and get harassed about it by staff who doesn't know the rules (even though it's their job to know) and somehow you're the one in the wrong.

Baby eating anarchists are well know for their strict adherance to the national conditions of carriage

You should call ed a cunt anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Exactly, bugle should have just bunked it, would stop him getting the cream puff when accused of criminality.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Every single post of yours is a reminder of why I have you on ignore.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Do you enjoy wasting people's time? Do you enjoy creating agro with people?

Spymaster’s silence on this speaks volumes bughole, volumes.

I'm pretty sure I've seen existentialist posting on RailUK about this

[teuchter]

I doubt any of you lot could hack it over at the RailUK forums. Everyone would be laughing at you within minutes.

 

[A380]

I think if you surveyed a sample of the UK population only a very very small percentage would think that getting off the underground system at a slightly different station to the one on your ticket ( even, if that HAD been against the rules) would make you a criminal.

A criminal

Not a criminal.

And that would be a bad thing, would it?

 

[teuchter]

It's simply a fact. Whether you think it's good or bad is of no interest to me.

Not being able too ‘hack it’ on boards populated by social inadequate middle aged virgins probably won’t be a massive source of angst over here.

 

[existentialist]

This is why it's pointless trying to have any kind of meaningful serious discussion on here about the railways. Certain people are always trying to twist things to suit their own agendas.

It's always interesting when people start on this whole "these people here" schtick.

Because - speaking purely personally here - I find myself asking the question: "So why the fuck are you still here, still posting, and still somehow expecting things to be different?"

Notwithstanding the suggestions in certain quarters that my "so what's my 50%?" question wasn't appropriate, I can't help wondering why you haven't even briefly stopped to wonder why so many of your interactions with other people seem to end up in conflict. Do you truly believe that it's purely down to the qualities of Urban and its apparently homogeneously posting denizens, the attitudes of every ticket inspector you've ever had any kind of contretemps with, and the moderators of another, completely unrelated, forum...or had you considered that there might just be some kind of common factor?

That common factor being you.
