He somehow passed the signal at danger despite slowing down to stop at it then ran through a set of motorised points which were set against him, the mind certainly boggles at that. Don't wish to tar everyone 'non railway' with the same brush, but he was 'off the street' so to speak and once he'd passed out showed a distinct attitude to authority, the feeling amongst the rest of us being he only wanted the job for the money and couldn't hack the responsibility of what it actually entailed. Normally, applicants like that are weeded out at the interview stages but he must have slipped though somehow. Have to laugh though, a few years ago one candidate turned up for the first interview reeking of whiskey, I kid you not...!
How the fut did he do that?? Surely if you're watching the line ahead, you'd see the points set against you. Beggars belief.My sister in laws husband drives for Northern Rail and i know from talking to him it's a job that requires a lot attention to detail and concentration. I once applied for a job as a trainee driver but didn't get past the interview so decided not to try again.
When people ask me what I do for a living I just tell them ''I hold a couple of knobs in my hand and stare out of the window a lot...''.

After it got dark I went into the kitchen to start dinner. When I turned on the light I saw there was a tomato sitting on its own in the middle of the floor. I must confess I found it all rather sinister.
I spent yesterday afternoon with a numb knee and it felt very odd. Then it went to my shin. Given the op earlier in the year these sorts of things happen occasionally. It was only when I went to bed I discovered fridays sock was still in the trouser leg.
As you were Pushfit
It seems that a certain young gentleman has aspirations upon my No 1 daughter, and has duly asked my permission for her hand in marriage.
God only knows how much that's gonna end up costing me?
Still, it's money well spent I suppose...

I have just returned from a foray to a local Turkish restaurant and a certain chain-owned alehouse where I indulged in köfte, doner kebab, bahklava, several pints of Efes and many many more pints of Wobbly Bob.

That's a bit quick isn't it? Tell him you only went in for a kebab. Friendly waiters is one thing but that's a bit strong in my opinion.It seems that a certain young gentleman has aspirations upon my No 1 daughter, and has duly asked my permission for her hand in marriage.

I seem to have mislaid a tomato
I definitely had it just before the Newbury exit.
Smart move, Peri!I definitely had it just before the Newbury exit.
Deploy decoy tomato to Newbury exit, advance to Chandler's Ford, vanquish unsuspecting watchman, sail on to the secret lair underneath the hollowed-out volcano, capture the blonde with the large bazoombas, despatch the evil master crim and live happily ever after!

What's a SPAD??? Either a French aerial reconnaissance/fighter biplane used in the Great War,
Or: a Signal Passed At Danger, which is considered to be an undesirable trait in an aspiring train driver's assessment period.
I suspect it may be the latter.
Well it's not a great start to the week, but then again I've had worse!! Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
