Well i went to visit spuggie ... and stayed for 9 days this time. I went on Friday the 13th ... which really if you think about it it is a bad day to travel aint it?
Well ordered the taxi for 11.45 train from accy 12.06 - taxi turned up at 11.55 and i'd told the taxi office the train was at 12 ... that was for starters .. next up he said which side do you want - the ticket office or t'other side. I said t'other side and he drove right past .. at least the train was late!!!
Got to Preston ... train to Glasgow 12.53 .... train arrived at 1.00pm ... gets on train and someone had nicked my seat as you have seat reservations on that one. Anyway comes over the tannoy system that instead of hitting glasgow at 3.17pm it will get there at 3.25 ... so sent a text to spug cos he was meeting me in glasgow cos i had to change train stations never mind trains and he said the sign at the train station said 3.30 that it would arrive. Well it was just a bit later than that.
Spug met me and oh my wasnt glasgow nice .... no snow!!!! What a change from what i'd come from ...
Anyway we walked round the corner and up the street and round the corner again ... and got to the other train station ... to those that know glasgow its not that far away ... and caught the earlier train than what we should have done ... at least that went right ... just wait till i tell you the journey home ....... now that was bad funny and interesting!!!! or do i tell it you now ... and then you will understand why i werent exactly with it last night ... after all it took me all of 4 1/2 hrs to get there .. it took me 6 hours to get home!!!!
