Random Irritations

Got on the 17:41 out of Euston hoping to do a quick bit of shopping in Watford before I went home.

It's now 18:35, I'm still on that train, sat motionless about 200 yards outside of Euston Station. Power has been cut to the whole line so they can't even go back to let us off. This my life now - on this train. Forever.

Have you ever watched Seoul Station? :ROFLMAO:
 
Just cancelled my car insurance with Churchill and they are charging a mid-term cancellation fee of £53:76.
It seems a ridiculously large admin fee.
Is there anyone in the insurance industry who can explain the justification for such a fee.
I probably expected £20-30 fee to cover costs. But not £54.

My daughter changed the address on her car insurance on-line. Charged £21, comprising £2 increase in policy and £19 admin fee - what admin ? She did it on-line !
 
Feeling less than up for it today (problems sleeping recently catching up with me) and every task a struggle. Wanting it to be home time and the clock stubbornly refusing to budge. I swear it should be 12.30 and lunchtime by now
My lunch has always been eaten way before 12:30. I'm usually starving by the time I get home at 6:30 pm

We had this when we moved Kent to Lincolnshire, changed my insurance and my other half's, mine went down by £7 a month and hers by £4, yet we both had to pay a £25 admit fee each for the pleasure of changing our own details online

Well I managed to fashion a sort of pillow out of my bag, and used my coat as a blanket, managed to get 3 maybe 4 hours of sleep. I'm now walking up and down the carriages seeing if anyone has any food they'd be willing to trade.

If you are only 200yds from the station and power is off why can they not allow you to get off the train and walk back along the line back to the station? If it is done in an orderly fashion then it would be safe to do.

You know I was joking right? I'm not still on the train the next morning lol. It actually moved off at about 18:50, so I was stuck on it for an hour and ten minutes before it moved. :p

But yeah, it was really annoying being that near to the station but seemingly they didn't entertain any thoughts of trying to get us off the train. I think maybe if it had gone on for more hours they might have. I have seen that once before where a train broke down between stops and they had no other choice.

Sadly its the modern social media involved world we live in. Everyone has to be the sensationalistic poster who first finds or comments on the Worlds latest greatest terror or event.
Gone are the days when a simple fuse blew in the kettle, now the whole kitchen blows up and they're very lucky not to have been there when it happened. Very tiresome:rolleyes:

Football referees/linesmen that are so anal with making sure that the position of the ball is correct at corner kicks. But let blatant shirt pulling, diving etc go unpunished. Football is becoming a farce at the top level.
