to want to silence this guy wth a rolled up copy of "engineering weekly"?

[StealthPolarBear]

He's treating the entire train carriage to the sound of his voice. It has been a long journey ad he's not paused for breath
So far his little gems have included "rocket science is easy, just a bunch of equations...rocket engineering on the other hand that's hard " and "let's not gild the lily its a pyrotechnic" nd my favourite "ive only just met you so I'm not gping to start a fight"
Pity the poor man sat opposite who is sporting a glazed look and nodding at suspiciously regular intervals

YANBU

Are you next to him? Can you "fall asleep" and drool on his shoulder?

Who is he talking to? Everyone?

Is there another carriage to move to?

No I car very close to sitting next to him. I'm in his reserved seat when he came up.to the seat I got up to move bit he said no no, and, spottjn a table full of businessmen he could impress asked to sit with them so h didn't have to disturb the "young lady". Which was lovely of him, even better now I know what a lucky escape.

Oh his little friends are getting off now. What a surprise (this is te first stop since london). London to York without a stop in train or speech

YABU. You will need something much, much heavier than Engineering Weekly.

I could never hate anyone who called me a young lady no matter how much of a knob they were . Just sit back, tune him out and think of cake.

Do you think they will just run down the platform and get on the next carriage?

My op should have said POLYtechnic, not pyrotechnic! :o

Do you have any recommendations fr heavier?

Engineering Weekly is too lightweight. I've got a nice heavy copy of 'An Introduction to Functional Grammar' you can borrow.

Lol hope, I should have watched out for that!
Oh he's on his phone now making very very important calls

On second thoughts, 'Tossers Weekly' should probably do it.

They have an actual publication? Not sure I'd want to touch one Tbh

Gosh, it's a wonder he was able to delay his calls for so long.

He is right on the rocket science though

I'm sure he's right about most things but does he have to be so pompous

You don't happen to be on a train to York right now, CMOT, do you?

Get him a vodka from the buffet car and say you thought he might like it. Then he might fall asleep for a bit. Later, just as you're about to leave the train, tell him there's no such discipline as "rocket science".

Def not Knid. In random train conversations I always seem to end up talking about prostates.

Id love to buy te pompous twit a vodka but I simply don't have the 20gbp or so they'll charge on here :o

Prostates - so much more civilised.

Vol au vent, so you want me to mess with his head?
And he look lik the sort of guy you wouldnt want to get started on the subject of prostates
