I too have a farty train nemesis
Except she is a slim girl in her very early twenties who wears floaty little summer dresses, so whenever someone walks through the carriage they wrinkle their nose in my direction, whilst she continues to befoul the air with impunity. And I've tried getting on another carriage, but she seems to follow me.

Help.

What would I change, aside from flatulent nymphettes in floral outfits? The cost. After that, I'd make special provision in the law to have the chairman of Southeastern Trains put in a pillory at Charing Cross station so that everyone could throw rotten fruit at him whenever their train is late because a guard is too busy eating a sandwich to do their job.

My phone broke two months ago, whilst still under warranty. The replacement phone is playing up so I rang them this morning, only to be told that the warranty had expired.

Good for you I thought but he went on about how upset he was because he liked her but she just wanted to be fuck buddies. Then he moaned about how she bit him.

is that you can't just get up and wander about and leave all your stuff on the seat. I don't mind doing it on planes and coaches, and I don't know what the difference is with trains.
