Nowt wrong with Northern Rail anyway.
We're just obsessed with blaming public services for everything in this country.

Is Northern Rail a "public service"?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Train privatisation is shit. The only one that isn't utterly pathetic is Virgin, and they nearly managed to take away their franchise!
Trans pennine's fine (on this side of t'ills).

I don't think I'll be bothering with this one unless I can blag someone into driving.

First ? I'd give it a couple of weeks more if so.

I missed West ham away in the League Cup, the year we got to the final

Was the only game I missed

Said daughter now asks why I didn't go to the match

I've done well with her
