Norwich Away

[thebish]

I'm sailing to Norfolk on my big fvck off yacht, then getting a helicopter into Norwich to land of the roof of the Norfolk finishing school for ladies. Then, I will be carried on the backs of nubile nymphets all the way to the stadium; prior to being directed to my private box, to be met by a group of female Swedish porn stars, who serve my every whim. And Bolton win 0-1

and still have change from a shilling!

[Verbal]

This is going to have to be done, me thinks. just checked train prices from Nodnol.

practically giving them away.

[Prufrock]

I do wonder that! They can't! Can't!

MPs used to... so that the riff-raff didn't earwig their important MP conversations....

"They want to stop members of parliament travelling first class," he said. "That puts us below local councillors and officers of local government. They all travel first class. Majors in the army travel first class.

"So we are supposed to stand when there are no seats ... I'm sorry, it infuriates me."

Speaking today on Radio 5 Live, Winterton said MPs needed to be able to work in peace when travelling between parliament and their constituencies. "If I was in standard class I would not do work because people would be looking over your shoulder the entire time, there would be noise, there would be distraction."

He said of standard-class passengers: "They are a totally different type of people. There's lots of children, there's noise, there's activity. I like to have peace and quiet when I'm travelling."

also..

Tom Levitt, the Labour backbencher for High Peak, said: “I invariably work on the train, something I can only do in a first class carriage for three reasons: that I have a table, space and privacy to work there; that I have a seat (as the standard class carriages between Manchester and London are often standing room only); and that (as I am over six feet tall) I have the leg room for comfort.”

also..

Sandra Gidley, Lib Dem MP for Romsey, said: “I find I can usually do some useful work which is not always possible in standard class.

“Also, as a woman travelling alone late at night I feel safer in first, particularly on the later trains when there are often a number of people who have been drinking.”

and... Anne Wiidecombe..

She said: “If I travel first class, I can plug in my computer, not a facility that is universally available in second class. I can therefore work throughout the journey.

[She] pointed out she had written two books while travelling first class.

Jesus wept! Redefining out of touch there aren't they!

Well fecking buy your own first class ticket!

To redress the balance here, I was sharing a second class carriage with Stephen Twigg MP recently.

Mind you, there wasn't a first class option, which may explain why he looked decidedly shifty.

that's because they've been stopped from claiming 1st class now - which is why they were all so cross...

[DIPS]

Iamout due to crap train prices. Really wanted to go to this as it's a ground I've never visited before.

Reason enough to ban first class.

Out of interest, I once sat next to Charles Kennedy in standard class. And no, he wasn't drinking.

[Verbal]

asleep, then.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

asleep, then.

Working hard, making notes on sheets of paper, leaning on his briefcase. He didn't seem perturbed to be among commoners.
