It's actually quite simple. Remove all seats from the carriage, then people who have luggage can sit on that. People with out s(u)itable - see what I did there? - luggage can be herded into a carriage like cattle. Also you can stop heating the trains then, because bodyheat will heat them for you. And if you have to piss? Well pal, you should have brought an extra bag for that.
If it's your property, it's not your FAULT if one's stuff is stolen, but you should have some responsibility. Now, if it's a school and I break myself for climbing a tree, that's my fault for taking the risk for climbing a tree, and I wouldn't sue you anyway because you had nothing to do with the tree, or my climbing it thereof. Sorry that last part is personal.
@potenttokin I think you mean: "God! You're an Idiot!". And to counter your point: Lancaster University research found that if you are journeying from Edinburgh to London by standard Intercity train with all the seats taken, you will be using slightly more fuel per passenger - about 11 litres of fuel per passenger compared to about ten litres - than you would if you made the same journey by car, with all the seats occupied. So blow my shit, scum fuck!
@potenttokin Ha Ha, Thanks. Although to be fair he did specify environmentally efficient in the other video but it was convenient for me to ignore that, so you were't wrong in pointing that out. So my counter was really to his point not yours. But "Your an idiot" is just a classic school boy error that is too easy to take advantage of. But yeah, the I of idiot probably should be lower case. I guess it just seemed "capitally".
this is awesome! as someone who as travelled the British Islands as a tourist, mostly by train, I've always wondered about exactly the things David is ranting about in this and the previous one.
I wish I could use text speak in text messages. But I can't, I see the value in it, quick, efficient and useful. "c u l8r"
But ever since my first phone, I've always typed like this. Sometimes I even waste money by sending a second message with a correction of grammar or spelling.
It's when it becomes a disadvantage. Need to train the mind to accept text speak.
Someone I know uses ridiculously enigmatic text speak, which I actually enjoy, because I have to decipher it.
Last weekend, coming home from london, there weren't any luggage racks at the end of the carriage at all! I had to use the cycle spaces because i had 3 enormous bits of luggage. Utterly, utterly ridiculous.
ive booked a train journey at the end of this month to london and since booking it i have been increasingly anxious about where, or even if i should leave my luggage in a place where i possibly might not be able to keep an obsessive eye on it at all times during my long journey. of course, i am traveling from yorkshire; a place where the very idea of a locomotive (let alone a wheely suitcase) is widely seen as confusing, modern, and unnecessary. (transport via mule is preferred.)
It's not even like the place to put luggage is big enough for any more than 3-4 people's luggage which is definitely not the number of people in a carriage on a train. We need more space! And I have had to do the climbing over people's luggage thing before, with my own luggage, twas not fun
1:55-3:02. I literally laughed straight through this entire bit, and then when it was over realised I hadn't heard half of it because I was laughing straight through it.
u know what peeves me off? It took me 15 mins to load this hilarious 3 minute video, because Talktalk provide an inferior service for extortionate prices. My face was as irate as mitchells'. >:-|
@colashanacogh Actually he said he wears red because he can. He talked about it in the one video where he was wearing a blue shirt (the Extreme Makeover one). He just stuck with it because he records several at a time, and it makes it easier.
His delivery is absolutely perfect (I'm thinking "who'd have thought it?" and "What??...this massive cube of clothes, toiletries and electronics... etc.". This is so funny, intelligent (sword of Damocles) and so relevent to life!
Thank you again for making another 3 minutes of my life very worthwhile and thoroughly entertained.
David Mitchell is a genius but it makes me so bitter having to sit through adverts for a shit hollywood movie and a fucking shampoo advert before i can watch 3 minutes of him. Stop selling out youtube!!
@nickadamgu You think that David Mitchell does these for free out of the goodness of his heart? No, he's payed to do them with the advertising revenue. Get over it.
@nickadamgu - Yes because thats how economics works. YouTube should provide its services for free instead of paying for it with advertising. Perhaps you wish to introduce a computer licence like the BBC to pay for YouTube? Do you work for free? Thought not.
@WillShakespeare2007 It's amazing how stupid and ungrateful, people can be. Youtube is doing their best to provide a free service at minimum inconvenience to the user (ads only last about 20 seconds and many allow you to skip the ad after about 5 seconds), and this guy wants them to feather his own selfish nest.
@mackat4ck no harm in learning to tune them out. i must admit, i dont like obnoxious adverts myself, advertising things i really dont want and no amount of advertising will convince me to buy what i dont want or need. i hate being told what i need or want by adverts, when i know myself, i clearly dont....so, ignoring them is the next best thing.
(continued from post below) ...They wanted to charge me a handling fee. If I had "lost" it or stepped off the train, stupidly, without it then I may have been tempted to pay. I was less polite than David Mitchell. I accused them of theft and told them if they did not release what was rightfully mine I would consider it stolen property and would inform the police as much. They released the luggage.
Public transport in this country is staggeringly incompetent. I hate buses.
I went to the toilet and a little later noticed my luggage was gone. A guard had moved it. Of course I thought it had been stolen especially after I had run the length of the train twice and banged on the guards door without answer. I missed my stop and reported it to the police. Gone was all my stuff including the suit I was going to wear for a wedding. It turned up a few months later at London Victoria lost property. I hardly have to mention the time, money and inconvenience in cost me....
Oh my gosh, I can sooo relate! A few months back I was visiting England from America. I took the train from Gatwick to St. Albans in the morning. The train was so full that I had to stand right next to my large suitcase and keep on moving so people could get on and off the train! I was so tired and punch drunk that I was sure I was going to collapse! Aghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
DAVID MITCHELL FOR PRIME MINISTER! A PRIME MINISTER WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS THE GREAT BRITISH PUBLIC! DEFINATELY HAS MY VOTE! and no its not wrong to have a crush on him *wink wink*
David, I love you and your rants a whooole lot, but I think that bulldog in the beginning might be trying to steal your spotlight...its just too damn adorable, even someone as charming as yourself can't compete.
With you in spirit David, but this one's not quite accurate. The rail company has no liability for lost or stolen items to begin with, so need make no announcement to waive its liability. I'm sure what's actually going on is that (just as with the announcement to make sure you haven't forgotten anything before disembarking) they have found this announcement reduces lost property by a measurable percentage. And I'm sure dealing with the hundreds of lost items they find every day is a headache.
@aboylegolcom That's absurd, the company has no liability when their faultily designed compartments allow people steal belongings that have been placed in trust? That's criminal.
Reminds me of when I took the tube from Heathrow to somewhere near Piccadilly during the morning rush-hour. I tried tucking the suitcase under my legs, but it made my legs stick out and block the aisle, so I sat in lotus-position on top of it for about an hour (or something) while the other commuters glared at me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These are getting worse... I couldn't even watch this through to the end. Rant about the government for gods sake, nobody cares about the train announcement for unattended luggage.
@hmfrx Who shouldn't respect you because you won't acknowledge, or actually don't know, that they are called conductors. Train drivers, what are you, a ninny?
how many times have they mentioned about the 3D episode and out of what percentage that watch these videos are likely to buy their product just to get the glasses to "fully appreciate" the one video of him ranting?
As soon as he mentioned overhead luggage, I thought of the Sword of Damocles - and lo, he promptly referenced that very same mythical implement of terror! I would have fallen in love with him at that very moment, if I hadn't done so long ago...
Arghh I can't stand those god awful "Bull Dog" sponsors at the beginning of David's excellent rants.
He should be sponsored by Truefitt & Hill, or Geo F Trumper. They're far more in line with David's tastes and style I assume rather than that awful bulldog.
I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday on the way home from Stansted. And just to avoid being hassled by security guards I did take my suitcase into the toilet cubicle with me. Bastard nonsensical regulations.
@255ad Unfair? Not really. I don't think fairness comes into this. Unworkable? Well it's not they just leave the stuff where it's supposed to go. Like you park your car in a a car park, where it's supposed to go. There's still signs up saying they can't be held responsible.

This reminds me of when I was travelling from Sheffield to Lincoln (a route that is the epitome of what David has been talking about on these videos) after a particuarly gruelling transatlantic flight, and there was no baggage space at the end of the carriage whatsoever, because the trains on that route are extremely old, so I actually put my massive suitcase on the seat next to mine for the duration because there was literally nowhere else to put it.
Why is David Mitchell advertising moisturiser? I mean, he is very funny and all, but not exactly the obvious choice of face for a moisturiser Ad campaign. Robert Webb looks much better moisturised.
@BSEmadcow I highly doubt that, even if it were the case today I'm sure he used the train when he was an amateur/student... Or when he has relatives to visit on the other side of Britain?
@Henners1991 I think BSEmadcow means because David has a bit of a reputation of being very posh not that now hes famous hes too important to use trains.
@BSEmadcow everyone knows he takes taxis and trains everywhere because he dosent want to learn to drive. he dosent even own a car much less a chauffeur to drive it for him. still lives in a crappy flat as well according to him and his friends.

This reminds me of when I was travelling from Sheffield to Lincoln (a route that is the epitome of what David has been talking about on these videos) after a particuarly gruelling transatlantic flight, and there was no baggage space at the end of the carriage whatsoever, because the trains on that route are extremely old, so I actually put my massive suitcase on the seat next to mine for the duration because there was literally nowhere else to put it.

Why is David Mitchell advertising moisturiser? I mean, he is very funny and all, but not exactly the obvious choice of face for a moisturiser Ad campaign. Robert Webb looks much better moisturised.

Nice work of fiction for everyone knows David is chauffeur driven. He's probably only observed trains at a distance.

@BSEmadcow I highly doubt that, even if it were the case today I'm sure he used the train when he was an amateur/student... Or when he has relatives to visit on the other side of Britain?

@Henners1991 I think BSEmadcow means because David has a bit of a reputation of being very posh not that now hes famous hes too important to use trains.
tric565 1 year ago
@BSEmadcow everyone knows he takes taxis and trains everywhere because he dosent want to learn to drive. he dosent even own a car much less a chauffeur to drive it for him. still lives in a crappy flat as well according to him and his friends.
