On the mobile

Posted on March 4, 2012

   Don’t you just know how irritating mobile phone users are when they
   fail to exercise discretion and think the world needs to know their
   business?

   When you have enjoyed as much as you can stand you can now get your
   own back!!!

   After a busy day he settled down in his train from Waterloo for a
   nap as far as his destination at Winchester, when the chap sitting
   near him hauled out his mobile and started up:-
   "Hi darling it’s Peter, I’m on the train – yes, I know it’s the 6.30
   not the 4.30 but I had a long meeting – no, not with that floozie
   from the typing pool, with the boss no darling you’re the only one
   in my life – yes, I’m sure, cross my heart" etc., etc.

   This was still going on at Wimbledon, when the young woman opposite,
   driven beyond endurance, yelled at the top of her voice, "Hey,
   Peter, turn that bloody phone off and come back to bed!!"

There is nothing worth taking other than trains

A visitor once said to me when I worked at Ferry Meadows station that there was nothing worth taking pictures of except the trains.

Well here are some close up images taken at Ferry Meadows, it shows I think that there are interesting things to take if you just look.

You just know it’s one of those days….

Just spent twenty five minutes trying to install a program on the laptop from a CD, shame I was putting the CD into the desk top tower rather than the lap top.

That will teach me to use the lap top where the desk top keyboard normally resides.

I have been told it’s a sign of old age!!

Now I must admit I do things like this occasionally when equipment is in a different place.

But for 25 minutes!!!!!
