Whats the best tactic when on a bus/train and 'oh so, painfully hard men' teens insist on playing songs out of courtesy so the whole carriage can listen? Another favourite of mine is when they smoke. Thats really cool. Of course there is never just one of them, it's always a group of scummers with obligatory baseball caps, hoods, white trainers and underpants showing over jeans around the kness that move in packs.

On occasion I ask them to quit and they mostly do begrudgingly but other times I dont because I prefer not to have to take a visit to l'hopital for a knife wound.

I hate that! People do it whilst walking to and from school!

I just moan to whoever i'm with that some people music tastes are terrible! and that they think they look cool but they look stupid! 

But most of the time i've got my ipod in so can't hear anyway!

A while ago I was confronted by a drunken youth on the last train home.  He stood over my seat and asked if I dared to stop him smoking ( He was with a bunch of his mates).  He then tried to push into the seat beside me.  I stood up and grabbed him and pushed him over (I'm only 5'6 and was by myself).  I went into the next carriage and found the security who were all sitting together having a nice chat.  They booted the hoolies off at the next stop.

I have asked these charming little scamps to put their headphones in from time to time - it helps that I am the size I am - and the odd swear word and threat of physical violence never goes amiss

Widen your eyes  start breathing heavily  and stare them out. Usually they go away and so does everyone else in the carraige.

you do not mess with Jack Reacher

It won't work.  You may meet some nutter who will try to outstare you.  The best way to get a double seat on a train to yourself is to make eye contact with everyone who looks like they may sit beside you.  If you wink at them and have an open-mouthed grin at the same time you will keep the seat free.  If you manage to drool and shout you may end up with the entire carriage to yourself. Even during rush hour.

Just had a grumpy old man moment.

being the possessor of a rather fine new bus pass with which I can travel anywhere except London, I went to the transport info in Warrington to ask for a bus map.

THe man says "of where?"

i say "everywhere"

Him "what do you mean?"

me "Everywhere I can go with this bus pass"

him "We don't have anything like that, just Warrington"

Me "how do I know where I can go then?"

He says "anywhere"

I say "on which bus?"

Him "any bus"

me "to where?"

he walks off.

Next week I am going in to ask for a ticket to Pitcairn Island

Do it. Ask if you can reserve a window seat.

On the tram on the way from work last night there was about 5 lasses all with the hair pulled up really tight, face full of make up, spitting everywhere, massive gold hoop earings, Nike bright white trainers...

And they were listening to some RnB/Pop/Rap/Shite and singing top of their voice.  It fucking irritates me so bloody much.  Usually when I'm with my bf, he would tell them to pack it in, but im too much of a chicken to say anything.  I did tut loudly though!

Ill educated, unwashed scroates. Yak, I fecking hate them.

Vote Paddy for Mod!
