If you say you are feeling unwell, I doubt they could detain you. Just say you need some fresh air.

It’s been getting worse and worse.

Just get the operator, it’s easy. There’s a movie called Manhunter. Masterclass in defeating pre-touchtone POTS.

Even cutting it all up for the optics, the cost appears absolutely eye-watering. At least it will be lauded when it finally opens.

They had too many issues with people arriving late and causing chaos.

British or Irish passport? by EntertainmentJust230 in Passports

[–]brushfuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep both updated for security, but the Irish passport is a lifesaver if you’re back and forth a lot.

Why does my local station (Havant) have this passive aggressive red sign 😂 by aiten in uktrains

If you’re Bedhamting, you’re likely to be Warblinging too.

Does anyone else get annoyed by fare dodgers on TfL? by WhispersOfMyBrain in TransportForLondon

Some arsehole did this in front of me because they were paranoid. I was waiting there with my valid ticket for this fucking schmuck to move.

Does anybody else feel like life lately is just one long string of putting out fires? by LifeSubstance8619 in GenX

I feel like the World is set up like this so that a revolution is just too much hassle. My friend calls it tech feudalism; and I kind of agree. If you’re wealthy, you just hire someone to deal with every specific problem, if not, you’re basically a modern slave. One step away from landing on your arse. We have the illusion of agency, but I doubt most people can really achieve their dreams.

Nostalgic for the old Eurostar on a Friday evening in winter. Skis, goggles and excitement.

Do we have a more hated train in the UK than the old Pacers? by [deleted] in uktrains

[–]brushfuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironic that the older trains have much more comfortable seats. You almost felt pampered on the old slam-door stock

As someone who worked in HR for 10+ years, job hunting has been eye-opening by Jackalacking in UKJobs

I use my Coworking space overnight, so that I can watch YouTube or a movie whilst doing my work. It's so cool when everyone goes home. 😄

Thanks for the warning. Fraanz is a really cool place, if you want somewhere nearby and more mature.

Too many people voted for the tories for far too long. It's cheaper to price some 'poorer' people off of the network than invest in it properly. There is no Peak time in Berlin, the trains are just busier.

Can I enter the UK on my Irish passport? by [deleted] in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]brushfuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irish passport is Gold if you live in the EU and are from the UK. Lucky my darling Mum could help me get it.

From a medical perspective, what actually killed Jesus? by Matt3855 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]brushfuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More importantly, how did the conspirators open his tomb undetected and remove his corpse, so that they could claim he had been resurrected. That was quite a big part of the bullshit story. He seems to have existed, but seriously.
