  • General Anti-Social Behaviour Thread

I was back in the UK for a few weeks and the anti-social behaviour seems worse than ever. I am aware I sound like an old Tory c*** but this is Jaded Clubbers.

One that really struck me was how people are on trains nowadays. On one journey from Chester to Liverpool someone was playing their TikTok videos on their shitty phone with the sound up. I moved to another carriage and someone else started doing the same. When did this become an accepted thing? It used to be the occasional dickhead who did it, now it seems to be common.

*Of course there are solutions to this:

  1. You can say ‘Hire a car’ instead, which I did for a few days for long journeys, but at about a tenner return on the train, I’m not going to hire a car for a day just to drive into Liverpool, all-day parking alone would be twenty quid.
  2. Invest in some noise cancelling earphones. Actually I have a pair of decent B&O ones. But you shouldn’t have to play your own loud tunes all the time just to drown out other cunts should you? What if I just want to read the paper (as I was doing) in civilised peace and quiet as you used to be able to do on the train?

Fucking Connor and Jordan Asbo everywhere nowadays.

    Car hire is obscene. 1500 for 30 days we paid. But still better than suffering those types of cunts.
    Got some shure in ear noise cancelling jobbies and in the plane they were ace. Took all the noise of the engine and a crying kid out of the equation.
    I haven’t come across any anti social behaviour but there’s plenty of that in Oz anyway.
    Going to London next weekend ont train so will probably come across them there for sure.

    Jetlag is so wank.

      Had same in Ibiza airport last year whilst trying hard not to barf.

      Unbelievable Jeff

        Stick one of Zacksets mixes on…. that’ll drown the cunts out.

        Hursty, you’re a Liverpool supporter.

        Tbh, I don’t think your solution of 1st class would work, I bet cunts are just as bad in there nowadays, on their cheap advance tickets.

        They will let any bastard into airport lounges too nowadays (for 25 quid at Manchester), yes I am talking about airport lounges @Mad_Cyril

          We were supposed to get a Sportage but they’d run out and they had to upgrade us to this, much to their chargrin and mine. And if anyone knows what I think of jeeps as said previously on this board you’d know that I dont see it as an upgrade. So it’s a 4×4 sport auto that’s only been rented out twice and has full tech and leather but the thing is so plasticy and flimsy and horrible to drive it’s not even in the same ball park as a Sportage, upgrade or not. We were supposed to get a manual too and this gearbox is disgusting and revs too high in every gear. Absolute gash. I don’t even know what it is.

          You think you’re living the dream Dave, that’s Crewe heritage park 🤣

                alistair depends on the type of train. Edinburgh to London on the new Hitachi trains is relaxing, better than flying actually. Regional services are a waste of money though.

                    mono-stereo I dare say the extra leg room and reclinable seats are better value on long journeys on a new Hitatchi train. My own experience has been poor though.

                      bosstrabs I wouldn’t go on a train anywhere in any country without headphones these days. And as for Merseyrail, if loud TikTok vids are your main problem, you’re doing fine.

                          Disappointed they didn’t give you a Ute
