Hit a Deer a few nights ago.
Badgers, foxes and pheasents are the usual victims.

I cried with laughter infront of everyone at Chesterfield train station a few weeks ago, because they announced that "the 8:02 train to Sheffield will be running approxamitely 20 minutes late because it has struck a cow".

The worst experience I had on a train recently was when me and my mate were going into Manchester from Preston. The weather was terrible, worst winds in years, blah blah. We got to Chorley and the train stopped. They told us a roof had blown on the line in front of us, so we had to wait until they moved it.

Then apparantley another roof had blown behind us, so they couldn't take us back to Preston. So we were fucked. In Chorley. To make matters worse, they offered everyone free tea and coffee, but after about 2 people got theres, THEY RAN OUT OF HOT WATER.

We got a coach back, when they put them on, about 2 hours later.

Someone who I know was on a train when someone jumped in front of it. He said it sounds like the train going over and snapping bits of wood.

The first person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"Yes" I reply.
The second person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"Yes" I reply.
The third person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"YES" I scream (customer care is not my forte).

Then i just shut the doors and piss off!!! (time is money)

Dude, you drive a train?

SWEET!

At work yesterday ( i am a postman), and a guy came to the door and said to me that he had posted a letter to Syria 2 weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived. He wanted to know what had happened to it!!!! I said im sorry but i don't know what happenes to every one of the 26 million bits of post in the uk everyday. That wasn't good enough and he went bleating on about it costing him over 2 quid and its not got there. After about 5 mins of trying to explain he should have sent it by recorded delivery, i got pissed off. He didn't see the funny side when i suggested to him that maybe the Syrian postmans camel might have eaten it!!!!

nice one

out of interest, how easy is it to become a postie??

I once saw someone who had fallen victim to the district line suicide compulsion at turnham green. He was kind of squished into the side of the tracks and had limbs coming out at funny angles. Loads of trackies in bright coats were sort of standing around getting ready to start scraping him up.

Like 2 minutes from my house there's a bridge which used to be a railway line or summit and is now a path I believe. Not too tall, 25ft maybe. Anyway, one day I was walking past and there was loads of commotion, someone had jumped off it headfirst and landed right in the middle of the road. I didn't see much of the corpse as I recall , a lot of blood on the road though and police and all that jazz.

One of my housemates saw the guy in full view and was apparently traumatized by it...I guess you could say he had more than one impact that day

bloody scab!

The road i used to live in front of used to be a main road, saw two motorbike crashes when i was younger. One was fatal, the passenger on the bike had come off and hit his head into a telephone pole. Was kinda squished, kinda was a lie.

The other one a guys just broke his leg. Also my friend used to be a moderator on Goregasim so I've seen a fair bit of carnage.
