Things that annoy you.com ,The new thread by Ad7 - HAPPY DAYS!

Reminds me of that day today bit where a train gets stopped by a pigeon stuck in a signal, so they all split off into factions and sacrifice the driver

Wales

Sounds like you have some serious beef with the train company.

I keep seeing interviews with the prince's saying how horrible and stressful it was, having to put on a show for the cameras and all the rest of it, so why are they okay with it being milked for weeks straight and serialised in some shitty BBC drama about how normal nobodies were affected by the news? Absolute nonsense.

It's fantastic! Get to Mumbles for the surf, the scenery and 'the mile'!

Mumbles is great but the mile doesn't really exist anymore unfortunately.

They finally gave up moving the dying cow and now we're putting the train in reverse & heading back the opposite way.

Useless bastards but I bet they make a lot of money, worth having a steak in the trains.

This is bullshit.

You'll get hoofed on to a replacement bus service after this.

If it's an Arriva train, having previously worked for them I can guaruntee that they do make a lot of money. It's a real cash cow for the shareholders.

At least you're now mooving. Even if it is the wrong way.

Yeah, I know - that was why I used the inverted commas. But the whole front is great, and some lovely bars and restaurants along the way too, so always a good night out.

Mumbles

It's not a person, it's the broken, bleeding-out remains of some particularly stupid cow. Shoot the strawberry floater in the head, tie it to a tractor, drag it off the line and let's go.

Have some heart.

You're in Wales so that's probably someone's wife.

I lived in Wales for 7 years, it's strawberry floating great! There's loads to see and do, great places to explore like the Gower, Pembrokeshire, Porthcawl etc.

Cardiff is a wonderful capital city as well - it's full of great pubs, restaurants, venues and shopping but isn't anywhere near as oversized and horrible to get around as other major cities.

I'd live in South Wales again in a heartbeat if I could!

Scotland > Wales

Maybe the cow was actually Karl and getting hit by a train was his attempt at avoiding Wolverhampton?

A moo for help
