natedammit Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That pretty much sums it up. I believe it was Gandhi who said "Cruel to be kind, innit?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well some people are kind. Today, the train station. Tried to buy the ticket and the machine was a b... first it rejected my card, then it froze, then it didnt want to type the town name. Finally got it and had like enough money to put in with like 5p and 2p. I thought it will not be enough! So 10 minutes later I am still there, the train came and I am half way through putting my money in and I thought that I will have to wait an hour for another bloomin train. So I turned around and the train is still there. Mister Driver was standing and looking through the window waiting for me!! I was like omg that was so nice! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjbleming Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yeah, very decent of him. Don't get much of that over here, too much keeping to schedule. Must have done something nice for karma to treat you like that, Rory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Either that or he was ahead of schedule and he had to wait until it was time to leave. That does happen sometimes even if he's only ahead by a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedammit Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Right, prepare yourself for my train driver story, it's a rollercoaster of emotions featuring drama, physical exertion, peril and both kindness and a lack of it. About 5 or so years ago I went to a wrestling show in Sudbury, Suffolk. It ran late, and despite my best efforts at actual running I arrived at their one track, end-of-the-line railway station just in time to see the last train of the night start to move. I saw the driver looking at me through the back window of the train - a position from where he must have been able to see my vain attempt to make it on time. He shrugged at me. Shrugged I tells ya. So there was me, poor little nate, stranded. In Suffolk. It was dark, getting cold, and there were probably street gangs hiding around the Waitrose car park. Before the trip I had considered staying the night in a hotel, so I made my way towards said establishment. I spoke to someone through an intercom, but no room or other assistance was forthcoming. I wandered back towards the town centre, when I spotted a public house which promised rooms available! I entered the establishment, which was near empty and clearly ready for closing time. I enquired about their rooms, but alas, much like for the baby Jesus's Mum and Stepdad there was no room at the inn. However (and this is where the kindness kicks in) the sturdy landlady offered to ring a nearby hotel of which she knew, who thankfully happened to have a room available. My night surviving on the mean streets of Sudbury had been averted. Following rudimentary directions I made my way through the streets until I reached my abode for the night, a delightful place by the name of the Mill Hotel (http://www.themillhotelsudbury.co.uk/ - Call 01787 375544 for our best rate guaranteed). Due to diabolical Sunday train schedules I decided to stay a second night and called in sick on the Monday: I spent a quite lovely Sunday in Sudbury, a delightful place featuring the house of Thomas Gainsborough. He did paintings and stuff. Kindness addendum: Returning home after my ordeal, I posted on the Twitter about how the show overrunning had led to my problems, to which the promoter of the show got in touch, apologised and offered to send me a free DVD of the show. Also, due to his ties with the local council, he got the train timetable amended so the last train left later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedammit Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 So if I want to get my hands on your tasty biscuits RayRay (and I've been trying to do that for years now) I'd have to climb down a cliff and scrabble through a great pile of Lemming guts? Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
