Re: Stop whining...
"He reserved a seat on the previous train, but missed it"
That doesn't make him look any better.... not only did he book a seat that he didn't then use but effectively denied its use to someone else and having missed the train he reserved he then compounds his error by making a song and a dance about not being able to sit down on a train he hadn't booked to be on.
Nope, I'm afraid anyway you cut it , he doesn't come out of this looking anything other than a cock.
