Reasons to be Cheerful


Recommended Posts

Given that almost any incidents of bigotry, public disorder, breach of the peace, vandalism or violence on trains makes the papers or is at least plastered all over social media, we can probably safely say this didn't happen.

Or is it just a typical everyday occurrence on trains in Ayrshire?

*thanks for playing*

It's the slow train between Glasgow and Newcastle, it is a rolling den of eniquity any time I've been on it.

That, or your first claim that such incidents are always picked up in the media being a ludicrous, straw-man claim. Given your established track record of fail and a safe, experience-based knowledge that most weekend incidents on trains aren't seriously recorded, never mind publicised widely, I think that we'll go with the 'straw man' explanation.

Can't truthfully rule out some engravings having been made in the East Ayrshire presses of the incident though.

My older brother told me a few months ago about some minor sectarian outrage on a train back to Greenock which was broken up by one of the protagonists beseeching the others with "mon tae f**k lads, look - we're goin' doon eh Clyde!" Then presumably they all turned to the passing Riviera and let the stunning landscape soothe their addled minds.

It appeared on neither social media nor the local press, to my knowledge. Could be wrong though.

I've been on it a couple of times too, and yes there's usually a few characters on board. Last time I was on it heading to a gig in Newcastle, some student types got on at Kilmarnock half cut, but jovial and harmless, one of whom had an acoustic guitar. The constant playing and singing of Paul Simon's 'Call Me Al' resulted in the Police coming on board at Annan and escorting the lads off. :lol:

ETA: Maybe Art Garfunkel was on the train.

Isn't this how Doctor House originally met Wilson? :huh:

It might be possible that I nodded off during that episode...

Doctor House is the charmless, acerbic medic who solves all the fiendish murder plots in Victorian London, while protecting the unfortunate Baldrick from the terrible machinations of the evil Mr Bean. While accompanied by his faithful volleyball, Watson.

I may have nodded off during a lot of that show TBH.

That shit was blasted out all night at the St Mirren game last night, what's that about?

At least that's better than no music at all. Our music guy at Palmerston was queried about whether he could change or play some new songs. His decision about it has been made perfectly clear as there has been no music played at games since. Definitely got the hump* :lol:

* Unless the system has been broken for weeks, in which case I apologise :angel

Saturday I was at a wedding just outside Peterhead. Many beers had, Cowden won and it was all on my birthday which made for a fantastic day.

The highlight though was the dinner. My girlfriend and I were at a table with 2 of our mates and a few rather rowdy Peterheadians. Beside me was a rather drunken girl who spent the first 20 minutes high fiving me anytime I answered one of her questions - "is that the menu?" "yes here you go" "HIGH FIVE".

Now how is this a reason to be cheerful? Well thankfully she was so drunk she didn't even make it to the speeches. Off she went to the toilets but she returned briefly about 20 minutes later before disappearing again. Turns out she was sick and away home.

By that point she had already ordered her food and not touched her wine. Thankfully her boyfriend kindly offered to go halfers with me on it all.

God bless that drunken woman. I hope her hangover wasn't too bad :lol:

I was waiting for the part where she asks for a threesome .... Disapointed :P

The sound of staples being punched into a quite thick wad of paper.

:wub:

I tried to find you one of they ASMR YouTube videos of said sound, but they all seem to use small wads :(

You should get yourself some extra-long staples and make one yourself. You'll be hoachin' with the ASMR fanny. Big wad everywhere! :o
