What's annoying you today? V4 - Jimmi - 07 Jun 2016
It's one of the hottest days of the year so far and guess who's got a cold!

227 pages of moaning. This is a brilliant idea for a thread
What's annoying me today is that every thunderstorm seems to be just missing where I live, so I can hear the thunder in the distance but it never actually gets here

I was quite thankful for that. The closest one to us was the one at Sedgefield at school chucking out time. We got no more than a few spots, while the sky was still blue-ish.
Doubly thankful because I assured a neighbour that the storms weren't supposed to be coming this close to the coast, so it would be safe to put her washing out while she went to work!

I regularly fall asleep rather than trying to sleep, I ironically end up being awake longer if I try to sleep rather than just dropping asleep. Me and warm summer nights don't mix (he says whilst booking a 3 week break to South Spain and France), making my attempts at sleep even worse during the short-lived warmth up north.

Saw 7487 parked up in the layover bays in Durham Bus Station this afternoon, so I decided to take a photo of it, unfortunately it is a little difficult when you're trying to photograph it from stand A with the standard camera lense which doesn't zoom in anywhere near enough. I took one shot which was a bit of a duff shot, unfortunately I didn't feel like taking a second as the bus station security stood behind me and after I took the first shot he asked me if I was taking a photo of the bus or the driver? So this left me having to edit this shot to make it close to acceptable, think I've just got away with it. I do wonder if he'll have asked me the same question if it wasn't a female driver?

I bought one of these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001EO6W8K/
Best move I've made if I'm honest. You get a good zoom length with it, and it isn't much more bulky than the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. It's all I use now.

I also have a 55-128?mm lens but I rarely take it out with me as most of the time I can get away with using the 18-55mm lens, sometimes a little cropping is required. It's only really required in situations like this, think about the only time I've used it was when I went to Jesmond depot last year to photograph the recently delivered Sapphire 7/24 Enviro 400's. I was looking at the lens one of my friends has with his Nikon the other day.

Looks like Durham's Relief Inspector at the wheel to me Jimmi, and he is male... haha.

What's annoying you today? V4 - Jimmi - 10 Jun 2016
When I was in the queue for the 7 that I am on now:
Those of us in the queue saw the 7 come in and even me from far back in the queue could see that a driver changeover was taking place (as it is a Belmont working - 1523) but a large group of pensioners and students swooped past us all and when they got to the front they noticed the driver changeover and upon discovery of this, did they go to the back of the busy queue, did they hell! Most of them ended up getting on in front of me which really angered me as I had already missed the run 20 minutes in front and as I know that the next three runs start at Framwellgate Moor I knew that they would arrive back in Durham goodness knows how late, so as I really wanted to be on this bus and was in a completly angry mood with determination to get on this bus.
Oh and if that doesn't make you want to punch people, trying to walk from one end of the bus station to the other will as it's like a bloody assault course trying to get round everybody.
