Penny Farthing Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 13 hours ago, Old Chap Raasclaat said: Travelling by train is my favourite form of travel, tell me why is it so expensive? And would you take a pay cut to help reduce costs? It would not be possible (or reasonable) for me to take a pay cut as I am retired .. train travel in the uk is expensive for many complex reasons .. something ironical is that some franchises (that receive heavy subsidies) are owned by certain other countries railways and thus we in effect also help subsidise the loss making state owned railways of Holland, France, Germany and Hong Kong. British Rail was actually very efficient in relative terms compared with most other systems .. one thing we should have done in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s was to build a modest new high speed railway network as was done in France, Germany and latterly Spain .. HS2 is now being built at great cost stage one, stage two and possibly through to Scotland could have been completed by now with the vast funds that have been wasted on privatisation over the past 25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wrong road movement under the control a subsidiary signal or under a specially arrangement such as single line working during an engineering possession. There was a signal on the chord line at Madeley in Staffordshire which would read as follows "MY8 OFF .. XUS" this would allow train to propel via the chord line on to the up show west coast main in the down direction (ie wrong or bang road) until it was clear of the points and signal and was thus able to the go in the up direction along the up slow west coast mainline in the Stafford direction. Such movements were often referred to as "bang road" movements because if you got it wrong there would be a big bang if a train crashed into you. The railway track or lines were almost always called the road by staff who worked on the railway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first week he was asked to go along the line and take pictures of some of the faults he could identify in the signaling system. Which he did. But he got some great shots of himself enjoying some of the rides at a nearby theme park. Thankfully none of these got submitted by accident.

Heaven knows Pen has bored me shitless in the past and I've stuck the size 12 in on occasion. What I've realised is though that ultimately it just winds me up and not her, she's far too durable. It might hurt her for a second or two at most. In truth, these days, I can take or leave her posts. There are far bigger idiots here to lambast. Pen is easy to ignore if one chooses to. If I'm honest I'm am sick to fucking death of every one of the few women on this site being accused of having a cock. It just screams of male insecurity. I want more women here so I can PM them pics of my winkle. Let's be a little more inclusive. RIP Nob gobbler. I will never desist from calling pen out on her 1 million percent dull as fuck output And you can quit it with the misogynistic shit as well. Pen simply isn’t a woman. Back in the days of knobgobbler, I had it on good authority (the mods) that her and roops where the only females. Gyps is a bloke too. No women in their right mind would join in with our childish banter and poof name calling. I’m just envious that the pair of them are hung like rouge elephants but will never get to use them in anger what with them being ugly fucking freaks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I one hundred percent believe it's a bloke, and as you say no woman in its right mind would remain a member of this site for all the time it's been here. Pen was born wrong, but identifies as a woman. I've got less problem with that than I have with the Gyppo, who is some 6'4 hairy arsed hospital porter who can't accept it's a faggot, so pretends it's a woman online to try and get some male attention.

Guest judgetwi Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 For what it’s worth Mrs Pikey and The Lady P are definitely female. It’s so obvious but then i’m not a pussy whipped Hewitt-a-like as per the usual membership who wouldn’t know a ladyboy from Eddie fucking Izzard. Mr Roops is obviously a geezer. .......a fake on so many levels. Anyway, it turns out that this Laurence wanker is some union LGBTQ rep (fucking ridiculous) and a Labour Party “activist”. Well there’s a fucking surprise! Better still, he lives in Tooting just down the road from me. There aren’t that many mincers in Tooting so , if I bump into the Nancy, I hope he’s got some bird seed in his pocket because I might be “identifying” as a budgie on that day. I’d hate to think of poor Laurence shitting his Wimminz knickers as my angry budgie self chases the cunt down Tooting High Street. What a wanker.
