Strolling along the Quayside and taking part in an impromptu game of table-tennis. Unfortunately, the ball got squashed but my bus was approaching anyway.

Aside from the odd knock-around on a dining table with a net, this was the first-time playing on a proper table since my youth-club days. My first competitive-ish game in 23/24 years I'd say. Obviously I lost, comfortably defeated by my more polished opponent, but I expected nothing less. It was fun while it lasted.

Had a reasonably good day out in Scarborough today. Although bus photography on a Sunday is a bit boring as there is less buses.
Photos should be on Flickr tomorrow, too tired to upload them now.

Always worth a wander down the coach park in Scarborough, definitely less around service wise though

Did manage to snap two coaches belonging to Durham City Coaches on the seafront. Also had a quick wander over to the EYMS depot where I snapped three MPD's parked side by side and there was randomly an Arriva Yorkshire(?) Pulsar parked up in there which I saw earlier in the day displaying "staff shuttle" with people on-board. Also got 1436 on the X93.

There is a couple. One near the police station and another at Weaponess (the old Park and Ride site).

Today was a little boring with it being Sunday service so there was less to see and I always seemed to be in the wrong places at the wrong times.

Honestly, what's the thing that makes chopping yourself into little pieces for the sake of art appealing..?

That reminds me of a scene from Porridge

Getting a rare football shirt today that is not available back home in the likes of Sports Direct all I can say is it's the first foreign shirt I got since 2014 and has one of the worlds best players playing for them he scored cracking goals for 2 champions league clubs there from Italy and Spain even at world cups

So, by the sounds of it, you're getting an LA Galaxy shirt with 'Beckham' on the back?

That was in 2007 that I got that however my original plan was La galaxy shirt with 8 Gerrard on the back but then I had a change of mind and opted for another team but which one?
Seattle Sounders with Dempsey on the back?
Toronto FC with 17 Altidore on the back?
Orlando City with 10 Kaka on the back?
La Galaxy with 8 Gerrard on the back?
New York City FC with 8 Lampard on the back?
Well if anyone had of said Toronto FC with 17 Altidore on the back then everyone is wrong as Altidore is rubbish footballer I wouldn't even dare he was rubbish for Hull City then Rubbish for Sunderland he only scored 2 goals against Chelsea (Premier League) and MK Dons (Capital One Cup)

He is world class but it is more than likely

Now you're making me feel very old. It's 27 years since I started there!
RE: Whats made you happy today? - tyresmoke - 16 Sep 2015
Well I've got my new laptop to play with this morning
Turned up 2 days early, nice one Dell!Inspiron 15 5547 for anyone wondering. Taking a bit of getting used to over my old one but I'm liking it so far!

I do find Dell's delivery rather frustrating. For what it costs, I'd expect DPD style to the hour time slots, but instead, it's a wait in all day or else it goes back to the depot jobby.
We tend to use the outlet for ours. I have a rather swish Latitude E5550 with full HD screen, backlit keyboard and so on, bought for a song.
