Train trails and tribulations (LINK)

6:10 this morning, on Vline. Me, basically the living dead after waking up 5am, trying to find my first class seat.
60 slighlty odd looking man occupying neighbouring seat, after observing me sitting down
HIM:"So, did I win the raffle or something this morning?" (grinning, winking, smiling at me)
ME: (After thinking 'it's too early for a punch on, I haven't even had coffee yet, fuck you world') "*Grimace*. Uh, no, no raffles to be won."
HIM: "So, you're free then? Lucky me."
ME: (Sweet merciful Goddess, no.)"..........."
HIM:"Anyway, let me know if you want to read the newspaper or something."
ME: (Slightly more brightly)-"Thanks, I already have The Age, but I'll let you know."
HIM:"You have The Age?"
ME:"Uh, yes..."
HIM:"But you're too young to have The Age!! Haw haw haw haw haw!!"
ME: "........." (I then proceeded to pull out Naomi Wolf's 'The Beauty Myth')
Onto other train related news:
"We have to now accept we haven't done enough over the last few years to upgrade level crossings in Victoria," Mr Baillieu said.
The Government hasn't done enough about train crossings in Victoria?! I never would have guessed!! Surely they were aware that Vline is the Spawn of Satan.....no, really, though, has no one beaten them over the head numerous times with a sharp and painful object such as a lamp/large pair of scissors/high heel until they got the point???
Baillieu. Kosky. Brumby. In case none of you were aware, You Have Not Done Enough About Level Crossings In Victoria.
...no freakin' shit, Sherlock.
