| Mind you, I was at a retirement **** up in gwent couple weeks back. I'd planned what train i was catching, booked a taxi from the pub, to get me there 20 minutes early, enough time for a coffee and a smoke before the cardiff to portsmouth 2hrs:45min journey. Now anyone whose done this trip will know, it's a stopping train until salisbury.
So, taxi picks me, takes me to newport station, at 8:45. Train leaves at 9:10. Plenty of time. Buy an egg sarnie, a muffin and a black coffee. How i did this is beyond my, i'm bollox'd. phone my other half up, and chat to her for 5 minutes, then go for a pee. Loads of people in there, a cubicle is free, i sit down, for some reason. This is where i remained until 3am, when my missus rings me to see where i am, i only fell asleep! No trains for 3 hours! I went searching for a 24 hour cafe, there i stayed until 6!
