I had a ten second look at your profile to see if I could see a link to orientalist posts; afraid you'll have to link to them As it happens I don't consider conformism a good thing at all. What I'm trying to do is apply a mental model to your mental model, if that makes sense? It seems to me...

Both of these sound idealistic to me. You said before you came from a non UK country, was it somewhere like Singapore where people are smart and conformist? I think almost no one is going to be scared by the first one for two reasons (they won't see it and they won't think it applies to them)...

Have you looked into contacting any of the pilots who advertise on wingly to see if they'd be willing to fly you from Edinburgh to some London airfield for say £200? I appreciate this is not a 'sensible' comparison (and also the £200 would not even cover the avgas but that's partly the point of...

Speak for yourself, I want to see it in all its glory :p @s'nami bog are you able to upload it yet?

Coincidental(?) related thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/penalty-fare-disability-ocd.266188

Given that a pint of Guinness is £7.50 at Aintree this particular piece of price gouging pales into insignificance!

It's very kind of you to think that way but I doubt they give a stuff about doing the right thing! I really wish that every road user, unless disabled or similar had to put a reasonable bit of time into getting a basic bit of proficiency in every form of road transport to gain a driving licence...

You definitely need to come to a forum meal!

LNER sometimes divert via Durham Coast line, which is shared with the Metro as far as Sunderland. So you get Azumas + Metro on the regular. I would imagine that an HST could still be sent that way on a railtour in principle (I just had a look at Midland Pullman services for this year and...

Very unclear because of the reporting tbh, about all we can say is he seems to think it's related somehow. He would be able to get *some* kind of job with a fraud conviction doing community service. I'm sorry but I don't agree that prison is in any way preferable to community service for 99% of...

The guy (if you believe a word he says, which is obviously problematic when he's a double fraudster at a minimum!) has lost his home and will presumably lose his job because of prison. Which is supposed to be the point of prison - the deprivation of liberty and everything that goes along with...

The OP there was based in London, so probably not.

Is it possible to get a copy of the sentencing remarks and if so how? I do enjoy with serious stuff reading what's actually happened on judiciary.uk (and bailii but there isn't sentencing there) and invariably the reporting is crap and bares only a passing resemblance to what actually happened...

Doesn't have to be "historic" - just anywhere really. 1712359655 I hope so. What's the point in being a multi millionaire* rail enthusiast if you don't do multi millionaire rail enthusiast things! *I appreciate being a multi millionaire these days is neither rich nor special but I'm not...

Separate related question: is there the infrastructure/rolling stock left in the UK to do a one off (or close to one off) heritage motorail service? Route doesn't have to particularly make sense nor does the pricing have to be "competitive" but should at least be physically and operationally...

Not sure that's a good way to look at it - if they somehow delivered you tickets that cost 5 pence each, it'd be fees of about a tenner on 5 pence tickets, but would still work out massively in your favour ;)

No I didn't. If you thought I did then I guess I didn't express myself clearly enough

I am neither a medical professional nor a medical unprofessional and in any case I would never think to "diagnose" anyone in this thread or indeed any other person as being non neurotypical but you'd have to have your head in the sand to not recognise that there is a very high association...

There is no such extensive talk. Without saying it's the case for anyone in this thread - some may just be joking - the vast majority of online reports are from non neurotypical rail enthusiasts who have a gift of extra sensitivity to movement and thus magnify the relatively subtle differences...

Have you actually evaded any fares? Your posts are possibly suggesting you had a legitimate ticket?
