This thread is getting out of hand. If you don't behave, I'll send round a cyber-Big Man to fill you all in. Cunts, the lot of you.

Tickets, please...tickets..

We won't hear anymore about it, which is a relief.

I don't know what Section 5 is, but this *may* be applicable if it involves swearing: Swearing at police is not a crime, judge rules - Telegraph
If section 5 involves Scrote leaving the train for not showing a valid ticket then he did so, albeit an involuntary ejection.
I'd like to see fat bloke done with something though, only because he looks like a fat smug fucker. And he's fat, and belongs to Trumpton apparently, the workshy striking fat cnuts.

Not happy in the slightest, but prepared to accept it was my own damned fault for losing the ticket and that the conductor would be under no obligation to let me off.

Then I withdraw the accusation of harassment. I understood your saying swear words were used to mean your response to the conductor.

No it doesn’t. It makes them rude and threatening but not wrong. Most Provo Staff in my Bn were arrogant twats with a love of sticking people in but they did so within the rules. I avoided their attentions by knowing the rules and making sure there was nothing they could stick me in for.

I never accused you of criminal activity, I pointed out that there was no earthly way the conductor could have known if you were engaged in it or not. His job being in part to stamp out fare dodging, it’s not reasonable to expect him to take your word for it you hadn’t passed the ticket off to someone else.

Not at all. But I wouldn't have physically assaulted him either. If you do/did as a serviceman, I suggest you were a bully.

Never once did I assault anyone during my service but when, as Canteen Cowboy or part of the Guard, I came up against some twat who didn’t fancy sticking to the published JRC closing time and wouldn’t leave when told to, I didn’t hesitate to huckle him.

Generally people *usually* like it in my experience.

Love the stuff & get quite upset at a Burns night when it's relegated to a supporting role as a starter or something as a sop to those who are a bit squeamish. Best of all to have it with a good drop o' strang gravy & followed up with Atholl Brose - whoever invented a pudding which is essentially booze was a genius.

Apart from a couple of times piss wet through/attacked by midges on training areas (sometimes it seemed both at the same time) I've rarely had less than a good time in Scotland, with an Argyll's Ball at Stirling Castle a particular highlight. I'd just never say this out loud, someone might hear
