| 13:00.52 | wethrin | ChoHag: National Rail's site has some info about the strike |
| 13:00.59 | ChoHag | Yes, I saw that. |
| 13:01.05 | ChoHag | I was hoping for RMT's take on it. |
| 13:01.21 | ChoHag | Of course, as they've not provided one I have to assume that whar NR tell me is the utter truth. |
| 13:01.33 | wethrin | That they're slacking gits? |
| 13:01.43 | ChoHag | Indeed. |
| 13:01.48 | ChoHag | Well-paid slacking gits. |
| 13:01.54 | wethrin | the strikes may still be called off |

| 13:05.49 | wethrin | So, I have booked train travel to go down south next Friday; return on the Sunday |
| 13:06.02 | wethrin | This is a bit of a problem with the strikers |
| 13:06.06 | wethrin | so I have the options of: |
| 13:06.23 | wethrin | taking a half-day off work to fit in with their laziness |
| 13:06.53 | wethrin | getting a refund on the Friday ticket, but I won't be able to get a refund on the Sunday ticket because it's not a strike day, and driving |
| 13:07.43 | wethrin | doing an extra hour each day of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to make up some TOIL to take on Friday afternoon |
| 13:07.54 | wethrin | I disapprove of all those options. |

| 13:15.53 | antiphase | Buy a car. It's probably cheaper than a train ticket, and the car won't smell of shit |
| 13:16.01 | ChoHag | I've said it before, but I still think it's true: every basic computing course should involve a module where you take someone else's project from the previous year and have to add a feature to it. |
| 13:16.31 | ChoHag | We have a car. Unfortunately neither SWMBO nor I have got full licenses yet. |
| 13:16.38 | wethrin | I have a car. And it's not cheaper to drive than the train ticket |
