Total rail industry income in 2020-21 was £20.7 billion, a 2.4% increase from 2019-20. This consisted of £16.9 billion from government funding, £2.5 billion from passengers (£1.8 billion of fares and £0.6 billion of other train operator income), and £1.3 billion from other sources.rick_chasey said:

Remarkably bad.

Options would be to change where you live or work or stay over in Town to reduce your journeys.
I would also ask a trusted friend or colleague to give you an honest answer to whether you have become the guy who bores everybody about his train travails
.
Plenty of people also take trains; there's just a general knowing nod when they come in late and flustered.
I will never accept regular delays on train services, especially given the price, and for as long as I use them I will use whatever means necessary to both moan and formally complain to them
that is distorted by covid so I reckon it is in the ballpark of us paying half of your fare.
A an optimist I see it as a positive that you get longer on the train for the same cost
Given we're subbing Ricks transport, should we be moaning on his behalf?
@rick_chasey as we are paying for it can you give us more details about the presence of aircon and wifi.
For the journeys I am paying for could you sit by the window (non sunny side) with a seat back table0 -

Made myself a mug of coffee, got back to my desk and for some reason lost my grip on it resulting in half a mug of scolding coffee down the front of me. It's very hard to run your stomach under cold water, tried my best by filling a measuring jig numerous times. Skin is red and a bit sore but no worse than slight sunburn so hopefully it won't blister. At least I was only wearing a running t shirt rather than a decent top. The more worrying thing is wondering why I lost frip on the mug, hopefully just a one off lapse of concentration and not a sign of my advancing age.
I'm more worried that it seems to have affected your ability to avoid typos.0 -

Rick should look on the bright side, at least he's not taking the bus to work.

I bow to your greater experience.
In the light of this, I contacted a friend who has a similar level of knowledge of ranking testicles and I asked what 'what do these ranking testicles look like?' and he sent me this photgraph:

If you were a Zwift racer, chances are you would be trivially annoyed too.
It's like the Racing Score assigned to each racer, which is supposed to show the relative rider strength/ability, has been done via a popular raffle draw.================

When applying a repair patch to a camping mat, there is no indication of which side to glue. I'm 99% sure I need to glue the rough side, but that is that not confirmed in the instructions.0

The joys of large running events:
People running whilst live streaming with their phone on a selfie stick
People getting to their pen late then pushing their way to the front
People who were obviously overly optimistic with their expected finish time and then block the road running at a slower pace.
I should probably avoid the large events to be fair!0 -

Numan.com advert with action man type doll abseiling down the building.
Now, my annoyance fits the nerdy criteria but is nonetheless valid.
The abseiling rope is fed straight through a carabiner.
Not only would this lead to inevitable death, it would be preceded by a very mangled hand.1 -
And at one point, the doll raises his ‘would be mangled’ hand meaning nothing is holding him up.0
