Following on from the showering at the gym thread, I was on a train from Glasgow last week, Really busy as it was about 8.30. I find a seat at one of the tables. no bother, sat down and start to read the paper. Don't notice a woman next to me. We leave Queen Street and out comes her bag. Her make up bag. This is not a bit of lippy - she's got tools of the trade, brushes and stuff. So first a dusting down with something. Then cream. then more dusting, with a brush - clouds of dust every where. Then eye make up and then more. It goes on till Linilithgow!

Now I'm not so daft that I don't know women put effort into how they look, but a bit of mystery, no? Or get up a bit earlier. Anyway, she gets off the train and leaves this thin film of dust all around. Try explaining that when you get home.

Anyway, pulling into Waverley and a guy comes round for rubbish. I pick up the Metro she left to hand to the guy. Except it's not the Metro I'm handling, it's used cloths covered in cleanser and make up! EEEEUUUUUWWWWW!!

Is it just me?

Right then Archie.
Let's get this straight.
You're travelling home from the Weedge first thing, having presumably told Mrs Archie that you were on an overnight fact finding mission or converting natives to Christianity or some such noble cause......
Your missus has clocked the fact that your collar (or maybe other bits of your apparel) has a bit of
make up smeared on it. This has caused her to doubt your story a bit. On further examination she finds that your hand are 'fragrant' as if they had perchance been caressing a perfumed female body..... uh oh. Danger looms.
:shock:


And you really think that referring Mrs Archie to this thread will convince her of your innocence?
"But look darling - here's proof - I even complained on the Bounce!"

Can't see it working.
:coffee:






If I have stumbled on the truth, PM me and I'll delete before Mrs Archie reads this.

On re reading I can see how it might look like that, but it was all terribly above board. Honest! So no need to delete. And some people who post here know my wife....

I do remember many years ago a pal bemoaning that fact that his girlfriend had caught crabs......off a train seat. I mean what do you say? (Clue - nothing).
 
Another one is the twallies that get on the train with their spazzy insultated mugs of coffee slopping all over the place.

I'm with you on this one. Who do they think they are Sir Edmund fecking Hillary? they are going to work not climbing the Andes. Are they caffeine junkies who can't wait the 40 minutes between leaving the house and getting one at work. Surely the inconvenience of carrying the empty receptacle everywhere when they finish outweighs the benefits of their fix! I would ban them. :red:

I drive up Ferry Road at around 8AM and often see folks drinking coffee in their car as they drive. And twice I've seen drivers brushing their teeth. One brushed at every stop all the way up the road. He even had a cup or something to spit into. Can folks not just get up a wee bit earlier grrrr
 
I dont see whats wrong with doing makeup on the train :dunno:, the used cloth things a bit minging though
