New - The things that really annoy you

Fucking ace that for the colour blind

There is never a service on Christmas Day or Boxing Day and the strike over those days is to disrupt maintenance, so it is disingenuous to put them in red.

The amended service on 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, 1 and 2 is all down to the Train Operating Companies... They can fuck off trying to blame it on a consequence of our industrial action. "Pretty" colours though

Trains don't run on Boxing Day and so all Signallers are usually "booked off" and receive flat pay if they would have been on shift. Network Rail have made the decision to book all signal boxes open and book ALL signallers onto a shift, some shifts with 2 or 3 signallers shown as covering a 1-person role. That way they get out of paying but it also means that any non-union employee must attend a shift, sign on and stay the full shift, ringing on and off duty as well as sending an email to rosters from the box at the start and end of their shift.

Excellent recruiting plan for us... Cunts

Did enjoy the BBC running stories on how the strikes over those Christmas days would ruin peoples plans. Even spoke to people who complained that they can no longer get back to see their kids etc....then had to pull all the stories when it was pointed out to them the strikes are not the trains and will make no difference to them, just the maintenance side of things

Any idea when Avanti are going to release prices for January. Im still waiting to book a Wolves to London Euston return Jan 21st and 22nd. I know they're going to fuck me and Im not going to be able to get to Man City on the Sunday in time.

Nice to have an understanding of the reality.

Good points well made.

Martin Lewis teaming up with that grifting, disingenuous, tedious, unfunny Tory cunt Ladbaby and his awful wife.

Sausage rolls eh, hilarious. Even more hilarious than having £1m+ in your company that somehow hasn't found its way to charity as promised, and voting for the party who make food banks a reality.

Martin, you were supposed to be one of the good guys.

It is because simpletons like my MIL fall for it. Made for a testing Boxing Day conversation last year

The "how come its so cold when we have global warming, explain that one scientists" brigade out in force

Slightly outnumbering those furious that they can no longer say Merry Christmas because of some made up situation in their heads

Yesterday, people driving even more badly pulling out of car parks and junctions with rear view mirrors, back windows and all side windows completely and thickly covered in hoar frost. Tiny little clear bits at the bottom of the windscreen, see them hunched over the wheel, trying to peer out. Fuck me!

The same people who will soon be raging about Cadbury’s removing the word Easter from their chocolate eggs despite the fact that it STILL SAYS IT ON THE FUCKING BOX.

bad driving generally seems to be a thing and getting worse.
and on a related note, finding out I have a flat tyre! timings a bitch.

I always find this handy to understand what the gammons are unhappy about this week.

Daily Mail - Nursing scum going on strike and putting lives at risk

Also Daily Mail - You utter scab, crossing the picket line to help someone that is injured.

So remember the story about my brother in law who was offered the ultimatum of signing up to the new rules or voluntary redundancy with 3 months pay?
He took the redundancy with 3 months pay.
He then got told by HR that they would only be paying him until end of Dec as his contract was not eligible for the severance pay.
Absolute chancers. They are breaking the law and they know they will get away with it in the main because people like my BiL cant afford to take Twitter to court.
