Malta has an estimated population of 460,000 with an estimated area of 316 km2

East Sussex has a population of 830,000, and a population of 1792 km2

Malta looked a hell of a lot fuller at 0830 this morning on the way to the airport.

There was an unspeakable lapse in British manners today when on the train someone actually asked for proof when someone else said "sorry, you're in my seat" and pointing at the seat reservation above the seat itself. 

I've seen wars start for less. More than a few harrumphs were harrumphed and Telegraphs rustled.

This country truly has gone to the dogs. I'm on the train home now and the guy opposite me has TAKEN HIS SHOES OFF. Flogging is too good for people like that.

I was on a train home years ago, and some Australian, female, tourist, started getting changed on the train. I missed my stop, and ended up in Slough, again.

Is that what is meant by "the scenic route?"

I've just deleted a spam post in the Coventry sub-forum posted by a Nigerian mystic selling love potions to people in Canada specifically to get their ex-lovers to come back to them.  Why the Coventry sub-forum?  Did someone mention to this mystic bloke about the old "sending them to Coventry" saying?

Coventry played the Toronto Wolfpack last weekend.

Still, no wonder there's ex-lovers there if that's the long-distance relationship...

Did you buy any of his potions first? Let us know how you get on with the ex-lovers.;)

I paid for something that made sure I never saw my ex-wife again.  I've not seen her since 1996 and I'm praying to $deity that that lasts for at least 5-6 times that more.  It's called a judgement of divorce and moving to a different county.
