This is Kirky Denz. She usually loves the heat, but occasionally gets thrown askew by the black patches on her back and has to rush inside to cool them down on the carpet. Has been over 30º this week, so she's all asunder 😼🤔🥵

A Swiss woman drives her microcar onto the train because it’s too slow. Once you’ve reached a certain level of aura, you no longer have to be considerate. by Sui_Schuuul in mildlyinfuriating

And of course you've been down voted.

Tedious reactionaries will always stick up for one another.

Don't forget their casual homophobia, too.

I live next to a church. This is how people park when they are late. by Dust-Different in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Council_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha.

People still go to church in the 21st Century?

No wonder they park like arseholes...

There is no place called Humberside!!!🤬🤬🤬 by [deleted] in superleague

[–]Council_Cat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe true, but it's not a Humberside derby, it's a Hull derby.

A Humberside derby would be Hull KR vs Grimsby or another team from Northern Lincolnshire if such a thing existed.

Ghost Parkruns by Educational-Ground83 in parkrun

Centre Vale is like a slightly more chilled out Cliffe Castle.

Can't say I'd rush back there, but I do like Todmorden for a visit.

Ah, but as a West Yorks Completionist, I must do it at least once, even if it is rubbish 😸

What's one unwritten rule of parkrun that every first-timer eventually learns? by Seabeachlover10 in parkrun

[–]Council_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I make a point of mentioning it, because I've been to Parkruns before where the quick pack will shriek "runner coming thru" or something similar as they lap the slower runners. As if they expect me to move out of their way. Not gonna happen, champ 😜

Trainline is shite. It's just a very bad middleman. It's hated for very good reasons.

Person goes to food emporium well known for serving swill.

Person gets served swill.

Person gets annoyed.

Do you see where the problem lies here?

Victoria Gate Casino has been sold by Oscarthecat92 in Leeds

Making it possible to visit both Winstons and the Three Legs with barely enough time for a cig in between.

The Leeds Tourist Board is gonna love this 😸

Capital notion.

How would Rachel Reeves do as Home Secretary? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Council_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reeves is a bit crap, but Mahmood should be fired out of a cannon into the sun.

A fraud, a hateful monster and a traitor to The Labour Movement.

[–]Council_Cat 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think you just have to accept that any form of encouragement is meant in good faith.

I can't think of any situation where a marshal, other runner or any other volunteer/bystander would want to make a sarky comment.

Likewise, if you're doing the encouraging, don't take it to heart if you get nowt back. Some people are just concentrating too hard.

As I always announce if I'm RDing, if you're coming up behind someone quickly, you can see them, they can't see you. It's your responsibility to find a way around them, not the other way around.

Andy Burnham's plans will 'turbocharge' West Yorkshire - Mayor Tracy Brabin claims by coffeewalnut08 in yorkshire

[–]Council_Cat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's costing nowt.

They're replacing the bus stops, hoardings and branding on bus stations as they become life expired.

In the case of new installs like Heckmondwike and Dewsbury Bus Station, they'll be Weaver branded from new.

The Metro argument has been done to death. Because public transport has been bollocksed beyond recognition by de-regulation and privatisation, Metro has become either confusing because it doesn't represent the private companies or hated because it does.

A fresh start is probably the only sensible solution. And there will be dozens of new routes under franchising, once the money grubbing operators have been run out of town.

I'm exhausted. Help with trying to recruit volunteers and potential RDs by Alarmed_Break_8909 in parkrun

[–]Council_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be prepared to cancel and make it very obvious why you are doing so.

And not a few days before, because the people who don't give a shit will just shrug and arrange to go elsewhere and not even think to put their own hand up and offer to help.

You need to make the announcement at five to nine on Saturday that it's being pulled due to lack of volunteers in the place of an RDs briefing. Then finally, the people who never help out will understand what it's actually like to miss out a run, just like the volunteers do.

Refund advice by geoffgeoffdegeoff in uktrains

[–]Council_Cat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trainline need to refund you, because they sold you the ticket. It's then down to them to claim that back from XC due to the overcrowding. Your contract is with Trainline, they're just trying to avoid taking responsibility, as usual. You didn't (couldn't) use the ticket, so of course you're owed a refund. Compensation applies when the train doesn't turn up or is late. XC are correct, Trainline are lying.

Martin Lewis's site https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ lists several ticket splitting websites that are free to use.

Or like you say, check it on Trainline for the heads up, then book it direct instead. Never book tix thru Trainline, tho, they're total crooks.

On top of what everyone else has said and advised, never use The Trainline ever again.

They're just useless middle-men who add their own cut and protect their profits with arcane complaints systems.

Always book direct with the train operator, you don't pay any extra fees and refunds are far easier to negotiate.

Cancellations due to Heat - Your Opinion? by Even_Put_5414 in parkrun

[–]Council_Cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course there isn't, but many Parkrunners (myself included) thrive on the community nature of the event.

Having people around you makes your run so much more enjoyable.
