  1. He should have looked at the door he was carrying to see if it had a number on it.
  2. Tell the taxi driver you're poor and he'll subsidise you from the takings from his rich passengers.
  3. You don't have to buy a ticket before you get on the train. The offence is to travel without a ticket and without trying to buy a ticket off the conductor before you get off the train. Lots of people buy tickets off the conductor. The downside is that cheap returns aren't available if you buy on the train. Once I tried to buy a ticket off the conductor but he couldn't sell me one as he didn't have his machine so I travelled for free. But that wasn't my fault and no offence as I'd made the effort to pay. You can also travel without having money if you give the conductor your name and address and pay later. The best way round this is for all trains to have conductors, not to install barriers.
  4. I sympathise, mate. What's wrong with driving at 43mph in a car park. Last year I did a spot of mass murder in an area where there were no signs saying Mass Murder Prohibited and this copper jumped out and nicked me. He wasn't even wearing a high visibility jacket. And some people think I'm a self-centred, whinging danger to the public.
  5. Oxfam in Nether Edge used to throw books out but stopped after a decorator found an original copy of Black Beauty in a skip. It was worth about 700 quid, the book not the skip. Nether Edge and Broomhill Oxfam both turn over more than 100,000 quid a year each, both are in Oxfam's top ten grossers nationally and so they must both be doing something right.
  6. You must live on Scriven's road. Whatever anyone thinks of Scriven that Perfect Day video is just so awful it sums up the man as someone with a big ego and small talent. And I don't just mean his singing. But he was on Radio 4 recently saying the election results were a temporary blip so why is he standing down?
  7. And it's surprising how many people patriotic enough to fly the union flag have such poor English they can't spell scumbags and businesses, and don't know the difference betwen their and there.
  8. Quite apt seeing as the BNP now ressembles a beached whale.
  9. I won the second half. Then again I was the only runner.
  10. Yeah but as nothing seems to change the point should continue to be made. The other night I got a bus to Woodseats from town and paid £1.95. I came back on a different bus and it was £1.50. And when I got on the bus in town the driver told me the bus doesn't go to Woodseats even though the route map at the bus stop said it did. And the bus coming back had Chesterfield on the front till I told the driver and he changed it. Public transport should be a public service. If nurses or teachers were as incompetent there'd be an outcry. It shouldn't be any different with bus drivers.
  11. Count yourself lucky not havng to listen to that tuneless, soulless corporate rock.
  12. And why did Labour have to bail out the banks? Because of their own neglect in failing to regulate them properly. Instead of following Milton Friedman-like dogma along with the Americans in letting markets be as free as they want, they should have clamped down on the excessive speculation and lending the banks were up to. Labour turned a blind eye to it all, mesmerised by the rich and their greed. That's one of the reasons Labour only got 29% a year ago.
  13. It didn't do you much good though, did it? But then if the UAF are saying you're an idiotic Nazi then that's not exactly good publicity that's going to get you many votes, is it? The BNP's finished. Don't give up the postman job.
  14. 4th out of 5, young Mr Pont. I watched his Youtube clip and you couldn't hear what he was saying for the traffic. What a numpty. The BNP will implode completely now. They all got smashed in Barnsley too and lost their councillors in Stoke, if not everywhere. In Thurrock they resorted to attacking a polling station and throwing eggs about. It looks like they'll give up losing elections and go back to marching and sieg-heiling, which is the only thing they've ever been any good at.
  15. I voted yes to AV but I have to admit the debate hasn't really taken off and the vote looks like it will be lost just because so many people hate Nick Clegg. Actually I hate him too but not enough to put me off voting for AV. You can only blame the parties for not explaining the issues enough. With hindsight it may have been better to have had the AV vote on a different day so that party politics didn't come into it as much.
