In Seat 25 Coach C on the 1333 from London to Hull today.
You may not have noticed but the old lady sat across the aisle from you turned off her hearing aid and the other woman moved to the other end of the carriage to get away from you. I was the one who was trapped across the aisle unable to sleep because you were at full volume, along with the bar tender who was ever so polite and didn't tear his own ears off. People were laughing AT you, not with you.
Sentences are normally ended with a brief pause, allowing the other person to make a contribution to the conversation, not with a 2 millisecond break and " Do you know what I mean?" before starting again.
There is no such car as an Austin Martin. You may believe your uncle has one and if he indeed has an Aston Martin it is not a "waste of money which could have gone to children in Africa".
I am sure the celebs you have met while working in that posh handbag shop are very nice people, but since the rest of us had never heard of most of them it rather lost its edge.
ETA are a terrorist organisation pursuing a campiagn for a free Basque nation including bombing and killing poeople. They are not "religious nuts who just spoil things for the rest of us on holiday"
Do try to be consistent. At Kings Cross Yorkshire was a place you never wanted to have to go back to, except to see your mates and London was the centre of the universe. By Doncaster you were thinking of moving back because London was a s
t hole.
Working 'freelance' does not mean you don't have to pay tax. You are supposed to complete a tax return.
You are 25 years old in year 3 of a degree course. Do try to stop calling your university lecturer and tutor your 'teacher'. It makes you sound 12 years old.
If you really want to 'make it by my own skills and hard work' perhaps depending on your aunty to get you your job as a favour from an old friend wasn't the ideal start.
The chances of you becoming fashion editior at Marie Claire as you suggest may require you to listen and notice things other than your own voice.
Please advise me when you are making the return trip so that I might take a different train.

You were taking notes, right?
Oh No, this is just a sample, she also did:Cocktails, the danger of dislocated hips when bungee jumping, the Australia Visa system ("those immigrants make it so much harder for people like me who want to go places to get in"), anorexia and how those with it "just need a good kick up the arse", how she gets on with celebs because " I a m not in awe of them and just act natural like", wine (especially Blossom Hill Rose), etc etc etc, supermodel diets (fags, cocaine and diet coke apparently, probaly the one thing she did know a bit about)
And I have instantly forgoten the list of pubs and Chinese restaurants in in Hull she knows.

Why are we not getting an answer on this? Five minutes earlier Four Cofffee said:
No, a minger.
Sorry, took a phone call, and it took a while to post.... The question hadn't been answered when I started my reply
