I need to join the "Ground Level Club" first
/QUOTE]

Don't do that, you'll get carpet burn!!! lol

 

[boing_uk]

i think she thought i meant now and we were on a 142....

"Did the earth move for you babe?"

"No, we just went over some points...".

 

[Techniquest]

Loving this thread, got me laughing away, especially 4SRKT's post about the Night Riviera! That would be a tough choice back in the day, not such a problem with it being 57-hauled now though

Never joined the Ground Level Club (as Ivo put it), yet alone the Metre High Club. Never know, one day!

 

[strange6]

I quite like the 'coupling club'

 

[jon0844]

How ironic that fare evaders sneak into the toilets!

 

[O L Leigh]

Is that the alternative to handing out a PF these days...?

O L Leigh

I suppose it depends on who is evading the fare. A PF for a bloke or facially-challenged lady, but a more comely wench could be invited into the back cab to 'speak to the judge'.......

A search for 'train' on TrueLAD brings up some very interesting stories related to this thread

September 1977. I'd had a lovely day out with a young lady in Bath Spa. We sat in Sydney Street gardens watching the trains go by and eventually decided that it was time to go home (to London). As we got up an H.S.T. went whistling past. "I hope that that wasn't the last train back" she said. "Nah, there must be later trains than that" said I. We got back to the station. It was the last direct train..21 something. The man on the barrier was helpful. "There's a 23 something to Swindon, that will get you the train from Fishguard". So we took it and spent ages waiting in Swindon for what turned out to be the up Fishguard sleeper (seating coaches also included). We piled into a compartment second and by the time the train was passing Challow we'd coupled up. About Didcot the door was suddenly slid open and there stood the Guard. "TICKETS PLEASE"! The son of unmarried parents actually stood there whilst I dismounted and fumbled for the tickets. "Thank-you, sorry to disturb" was his parting shot.

Doesn't mean you can't joke about it



So?
You think everyone here has?

and some people on here nether will

If your refering to whoever your doing it too it could be the 3inches+ club.

 

[yorksrob]

The chance would be a fine thing

 

[Ivo]

Anyone know how many single girls there are on here...?

[tumbleweed]

...It's zero, isn't it? :cry: Or, if it isn't, there would be something else in the way...

 

[yorksrob]

All the fellas seem to be spoken for.

Or else she would be built like a Russian shotputter. Sad to say gents, this is a very male preserve.

I guess in that sense it's the perfect hobby for, um, "males who may have interest in other males" (trying to be politically correct here :roll, of which I know there are several on here (including at least one with over 4,000 posts), but for the rest of us...

I guess it's a case of "opposites attract" then. We can have our trains; girls can have their shopping. Because that way, we get the train travel, and they get the shopping! Thus, no-on can complain. (As much anyway.)

How many girls are there on here anyway? If there are more than 10 are both centurion posters (i.e. 100+) and currently regular, I'd be surprised...

Not sure how someone's post count is related to their sexuality...

I know of plenty on here, just none of interest

 

[yorksrob]

I'm too old for everyone on here

I can complain bitterly because the more money ends up in the clothes and tat shops of Leeds courtesy of the wife, the less money there is for important things like cranking and real ale.

 

[yorksrob]

At least you're helping the economy

 

[Ivo]

Fair point; I guess that came out wrong. Not sure how to respond to be honest; other than to say that it is more for the benefit of newer members who may be curious.

Surely an ALR is more helpful to the wider UK economy than an Indian-made £10 M&S bra? (There's a word you wouldn't usually find on a railway forum! )

 

[4SRKT]

If I ever get divorced, one of the first things I will buy will be an ALR. Every cloud and all that......

Anyway, back to this important post which I read earlier but wasn't able to respond to (was at work). Here is a man with prima facie evidence of himself joining or at the very least very nearly joining (the rules about how far you have to go to qualify have not yet been established) the Metre High Club. Congratulations to that man! The guard was a bit of a cheeky tw*t though IMHO. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'desperate grip'.

I am unwilling however to relate my own near miss on the 14:40 Londonderry > Belfast Central, except to say that no members of NIR staff were involved, either directly or in a supporting role, and that the incident occurred in the DTSO at the driver's end.

Maybe, although there's a girl in my office who swears that her £300 handbags are British made !

Which is more than can be said for most of the trains you will ride on on an ALR

Sad but true.

I'm female, A centurion poster, and currently regular. I hate shopping and i'd rather be near a railway line any day

I can honestly say ive never had an amarous moment on a train, cant really see it ever happening to be honest. Being surounded by sweaty bodies, coughing and sneezing, persistent nut scratches (which i always get sat at the side of me for some odd reason) and secret guffers, frankly does not put me in an amarous mood....not even if Brad Pitt was sat opposite me with an open invitation!!!!

 

[bengley]

I am a member of said club

 

[Ivo]

OK; that's one Then, unless I'm horribly mistaken, Zoe would make that two. Er... that's it to my knowledge

Why do you feel so sure that such a situation would never happen? I'm only asking because I would be interesting to get a female perspective on this; it's all very well the rest of us saying as much but if we're all male and saying the same thing over and over...

You don't have to answer, of course

By the way, and please don't be offended by this, but if that is you in your avatar, I would have to say that many-a-male would consider you to be "beautiful".

...

Gosh, between my Internet and myself, we are so slow that the list has been extended to three before I've even revealed it to be two! And come to think of it, I believe someone from Scotland whose first letter of their forum name is "F" is as well (again, very sorry if wrong! ).

Ey-up! Flirting on Rail UK??

Not offended in the slightest
It is indeed me in my avatar.

I would never be able to totally rule it out. God knows that would be impossible. However i suppose im very shy, and a fumble with a stranger on public transport just isnt me at all.

Im no prude, but to me (and this is purely my opinion) doing it in the close vicinity of others with a stranger just kinda screams "seedy" at me.
