There were a load of newspapers on the counter and I noticed the headline of a certain paper. It was referring to the news of charges against ex Police Officers based in South Yorkshire.
It turns out, that they're giving 'that' paper away today. I was polite to the member of staff when she offered me a copy.
After the headlines at the time and the accusations made - to give a paper away free of charge on a day when they're covering the story again (all be it with a different agenda) - nah, not for me.

On my way back from the stagecoach Carlisle open day I have the misfortune to sit opposite a train spotter. He coughed and cleared his throat repeatedly all the way back to newcastle.
This was my latest annoyance by those people.

Me and another enthusiast sat a handful of rows down from him but decided 2 mins in to move somewhere else due to his bloody cough.

It isn't fair to tar everyone with the same brush.

It's bad enough when people stink of strong perfume or body sprays and even worse when it's a poor attempt to mask some obvious soap dodging, but spraying it in the confined space of a bus is just bleeding antisocial.
I did open the window on a group of students doing it on an icy cold day, once, after they set me off on a coughing fit, but I'm halfway back on a Streetlite and can't reach any Windows.
My eyes are burning.
