djoptix Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Gateway to the North! For me, anyway... The car park is jammed*. My second means of transport was just pulling in as I crossed the footbridge. Jim Bell, Craig the Princess, Coprolalia and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djoptix Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I was going to ask the nice man if I could leave the station while I wait to go to McDonald's, but he looks like he does murdering so I'm not going to. I'll just skulk on the platform and try and work out where I should stand to get the best chance of a table seat on the next train. privatewire and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Eth eth eth awrchhhCCHHHARCCCH tele-vis-ee-on. Anything that was designed, built or conceived after 1850 in Wales just has its name in pidgin-English. Particularly anything high technology. I do like "microwave oven". Popty-ping. Oven that goes ping. " Magical witchcraft box that does not heat forks up without lightning and smoke" was probably the alternative.

djoptix Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Fucksake! The train stopped bloody miles away! Also it's some kind of diesel rail car rather than a proper train. There are no power points and there's a bodily fluid of some sort on the opposite table. I actually love Wales, but Transport For Wales is grim. theshadow, PhilA, Craig the Princess and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fixed* it by telling my computer to look at their router for DNS, instead of openDNS. Look at the state of that. No HD porn for me. In fact I'll be lucky if I can access ASCII porn. theshadow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djoptix Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 There is a big suspicious lump in my peanuts. Having given it some thought I reckon it's either a congealed lump of awesome tasting honey roast coating loveliness, which has fallen off the packing machine or something a mouse. Shall I eat it? ...if it's a mouse can I still eat the other peanuts? privatewire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
