Rightio, now for my supposed 'sensible' post.
Before you, 4426, ever came along onto the scene, there was quite a few of us who were with both societies for many years, and witnessed a harmonious relationship between these two societies and its men go down the shitter, all because of what happened in 2006. Infact, I had a grudge rant at our friend
Bwana sometime ago about this which you may want to refer back to, like here

I left the whole scene because of what happened in 2006, where I was forced to compromise on the single important thing to me out of my involvement, were my friendships on the other side of either fences.
But what gets me about you, is that you've tried sitting on the fence about the whole issue, less than 2hours after saying all of the below.

I doubt it if they have to sell a 49 to Cootes, and have more Passenger Attendants on the Cocked Up Run or whatever they call it now than actual passengers then using whatever amount of diesel fuel to run the train not to mention the hiring of the 44's except 4401 which did have a good wheelset under it when it was withdrawn and now it has condemned wheels which I dont see or hear about 3801Ltd in a hurry to repair or have you forgot that 4401 is a Railcorp owned unit?
Maybe this is some childish way of paying the Government back is it?
And as for the "Boys Clubs" at the RTM well hate to shatter your world but they indeed have them at 3801Ltd and membership involves kissing the arse of the people who have been "voted" on the board which now does NOT have representatives of the RTM which is against the Company Charter of which it was formed so many years ago.
yada yada yada.....I normally don't care what gets said about the company, but I honestly took alot of offence to all the above, and it is just plain typical that someone has to try and argue a point with excretia picked off the grass. Extremely contradictory to someone proclaiming to find the whole RTM vs 3801 Ltd bickering to be stupid, don't you think? Adding to that

Why should they stoop to the level that cunts like MBAXED cobraking and possibly yourself snipped
I also take quite offence to your statements about
MBAX. I would have thought you read up the rules here or knew it's poor form to pick on someone who isn't here to defend themself.
As we all know who
MBAX is, and sadly he was clearly misunderstood by everyone, even those at Eveleigh. MBAX spent 8 years of his life full-time in Killjoy's equivalent role over in the Eveleigh Sputnik carriage, without any praise or credit, and with full dilligence to his duty. If anyone could provide a point of view that wasn't blinded by rose-tinted shades, it was him, but it's unfortunate people, so wound up in their own self-absorbancy with the WailTransportMusum didn't want to agree and instead, targetted him like you just have. Good job!
What gets me is this

1- I used to put in many hours at the Large for 01Ltd and I was only treated like shit and even though I used to do the most menial tasks or actually anything that needed to be done I was promised trips on the trains that never eventuated because of cunts that kissed arse!
The same company that DID NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK when some arsehole decided to drop tools from the top of the Tender when I was cleaning the pits out breaking my nose! And thats why I stopped working for such an UNSAFE GROUP.
What hours? I was there for 5 years prior to the big blow-up in 2006, and certainly don't recall any A. Sneddens passing through the ranks there.
I'm particularly pissed off you've even had the balls to fabricate such an account. Anyone who knew the old Mechanical Branch manager knew that he wouldn't let any bottom of the ladder boy sunday, like you, be put in any risky situations like that. And as
Bigged puts it rightly, your supposed injury was your own fault, for being in that position in the first place.
I left Preservation because of idiots like you. And for that, I am grateful, because I read the shit like this thread contains and it really breaks my heart that even after everything that happened in 2006, we still have people like you trying to crusade for a cause that can't be fixed, and an enemy who hasn't done anything to you personally.
To the rest of the gentlemen reading this, at the end of the day, my friendships with the other blokes still continue to this day, although we've since parted our ways through life. That, is the most important thing at the end of the day, more than a fucking phallic heap of metal, and more than trying to be loyal to a brand.
