I know who Mark Ronson is, I quite like his music, but he is certainly not a genius. Neither was Amy Winehouse. ...imo.

Lol Is this the Tapatalk equivalent of butt-dialling?

I feel far less confident of top 4 now. Not sure why, probably because ManU, Spuds, Arsenal & even Liverpool are all looking very good. Hey, if we keep winning then brilliant, just feel we may be due for a wobble. Hope I'm being an idiot. Let's see what today brings.

I read most of the thread thanks, my response was mainly triggered by the bile that you spewed at other posters "banging your head against a stupid brick wall" - just rude. Quite a few other posts are also rude and dismissive. Your commute is short, yet you still complain. You have chosen your line of business, your location, to have children, yet you still complain, and we should all agree, otherwise we are stupid, ill informed, or have an agenda against you. For info, I did not assume you lived in Southampton, I simply said that Woking was a short, quick commute to Waterloo. It was your choice to say Woking was **** and it "wouldn't save you much time". Don't just complain about your situation buddy. Change it or, with respect, stfu. For what it's worth, I commute from Eastleigh to Newbury most days, takes me an hour each way, often don't see my kids at bed time, and work away quite a lot. Maybe I could start a thread about how busy the roads are, and why should I pay my road tax?

I don't know if its your screencap or my phone, but I can't read that. Here's one from train line, and you are right, 30 minutes direct. I apologise. Honestly though, I do feel you are wasting your energy here. If you are an expert in retail business analysis or something similar, and you are contracting, the client can wait for you. After all, you have the skills that they need. Edit/ being as you have edited your post to Include the actual figure (8 minutes is 8 minutes, after all), I'll edit mine. I find it interesting that you create a thread asking for people's experiences, and then attack or deride any experiences contrary to your own. I gave a view of my experiences, and unwittingly in my brief subscription to this thread have formed a view of you. Pedantic would be a good descriptor, and spoilt. Get up half an hour earlier you lazy bugger, then you won't be late and you can leave half an hour earlier to pick up your child, as I assume your high-powered jet-setting wife / husband is too busy. Also - living in a ****ter place? I'll take Woking over masons any day! Byezzz

Well as I say, when my train hits Woking it's 20 minutes without stopping, my colleague lives in Woking and gets the same train regularly without issue. If you are closer in, presume you are using some dawdling stopping service?

This is an exaggeration. If you moved to Woking / Guilford you could pick up the Non-stopping Waterloo train from Woking which takes 20 minutes to get into waterloo. Ok there would be nowhere to sit, but that's the way it goes. I'd guess this would reduce your annual ticket price by circa 4k, meaning you would have about £300 extra pcm to lump on the mortgage. Moving closer doesn't mean you need a penthouse on leadenhall As to your other point, you are perfectly entitled to your complaint. If it helps, the others that appear to get the same train as me (fast service from Portsmouth) seem to agree that it is fairly consistent. I get on at Eastleigh and its 1hr 20 to Waterloo, I can't remember ever being very late. The tube however, is a different matter.

Have to say, SW trains are generally fine for me. Travel to Waterloo perhaps once / twice a week on average, never really noticed delays, but then I'm not that bothered if I arrive 5 mins late. Occasionally there is nowhere to sit which is a pain, but the service is ok. I'd suggest either moving closer to your job, or getting a new one if it winds you up that much.

Bin man

edit - just seen this info already in the post above - sorry

You guys are proper bendy

I always quite like the look of the 480, especially the seats, which were very smart. However it did have a range of issues. Honestjohn is always a great place to look for an unbiased assessment... http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/volvo/480/

Swap for Shaw plus 2mil thx

This friendly threads seems decidedly unfriendly. Who f***** it up?

I do actually quite like some of your posts! Not this one though. Too many commas. Cheer up matey, we're still one of the best clubs in the country, and the skates lost! f*** the cups!

Sad news, hope he is ok.

This joke is really good tbf. I'm not surprised you are persisting with it! If they win the next round you could say something like "how is it possible that palace could win a cup game AND still play league games? Apparently we can't manage that..." That would be a laugh.

Who can say, might score some comedy points though.

Good idea! Make sure you remind me every time we concede a goal or lose a game how we could have won the FA cup but didn't.

Dude you clearly love the FA cup so I'm sorry I've upset you. I hope we win it next year so that you don't have to get all weepy again.

I sense that there is sarcasm here, but I can't quite work out the nuances... Oh hang on! Very good!!! This is what I will do isn't it!?? Lolol etc...

No you didn't, but as its irrelevant, I won't press the point. I've heard that answer from you many times before, and it's a good one - "koeman says so, end of discussion" - fair enough, I'm sure he would, no manager wants to lose. I didn't want us to lose either, and I'm not glad we did. I guess many just rate the FA cup more highly than I do. I understand your need to shut the fishies up, I'm just more interested in (hopefully) watching the best teams in Europe play at St Marys.

That is not the question I put to you. Up until now, all the teams around us in the league also played the maximum possible fixtures, therefore there was no advantage for anybody. Now however, all our direct league competition have been eliminated, therefore if we had stayed in, it would have given us a disadvantage in our league campaign. If we had won I would have been happy, but I'm not that bothered that we are out, sorry if this upsets you guys.

Once again this was simply a logical argument. If the priority is 4th, and all our closest rivals only have to play league matches, then playing cup matches as well as league matches puts us at a disadvantage. Do you disagree with this? You sound like you have had a difficult day buddy need a hug?

Elia & Mane in the frontline is going to be fantastic, can't wait. I'd be ecstatic if we could add someone like benteke or berahino as another striker option, lots of pace and creativity.
