(29 Jul 2017, 6:48 pm)Andreos1 Any footage of the fighting that went on? Some of the stuff on twitter showed some terrible scenes.
Shocking. Robinson inciting hatred yet again, but equally as stupid, Celtic 'fans' going to Hendon for a punch up...

(29 Jul 2017, 6:57 pm)Charles41 No footage I'm afraid I but it's rather worrying when your confronted by about 200 drunk glaswegians chanting "we are going to tear your f..g head off" whilst walking over the bridge.

You're not wrong, I have a friend who was one of the Police Officer's on duty for it and he told me to watch myself as the Scots were trying to cause trouble.

I've seen loads of footage on facebook of the one in Hendon & Wheatsheaf, when it all kicked off at Wheatsheaf before kick-off I had not long been sat in The Victory with my Dad and my sisters boyfriend, didn't see any of the fighting but to see some 30+ Police Cars between there and the bridge was a sight to see, an indicator to how serious this incident was as the club next door had an away fans only allowed in, I had been in spoons on fawcett street prior to that, again full to the brim with Celtic fans, it was a hostile takeover of all bars in Sunderland this afternoon with more incidents inside the ground also.

Can someone please explain to me the etiquette for the wave function on Facebook and Messenger? Whenever I've gotten a wave on Messenger, I've waved back and then I am expecting a reply from the person who waved but nothing happens. Think most people are pressing it by accident, judging by various people online saying they've done it by mistake.

We live in a world where even emojis have alternative meanings, Jimmi. If somebody sends me something that I cannot relate to, I return with a fire truck emoji.

Worse still, the latest one was someone I fell out with over me not messaging them, so now I am really confused, guessing it was: pressed in error, they are doing it to annoy me or by some hope it's them trying to put things right between us.
Most awkward social media moment for me recently was yesterday when randomly a nude photo popped in a Stagecoach Facebook group, of course I scrolled past that whilst looking through my feed, but it was unfortunate that it was the exact point when someone looked at my phone and they definitely saw that photo... :s

A fb memory recently popped up.
It was about how a few years ago I had heard sexual moaning and groaning whilst mooching around a service station somewhere.
Turns out it was my phone making the noises and I had knocked a Fifty Shades clip that had been shared on my fb feed.
Awkward!

Arriva Bike anyone?
Arriva Transport Solutions in Derby are next for the rebrand, with a couple of ambulances already carrying the new logo.

Coming soon to a town service near you:
Following the success of the Mellor Strata on Cheshire locals, Arriva have pushed on with using smaller, eco-friendly vehicles. Drivers will now be pioleting tandems on marginal routes, with turquoise chuckle-mobiles being deployed at peak times.

They're trailing a fully electric double deck in York. Are these buses actually the future? Could they handle the likes of Whickham and Winlaton Banks?

There must not have been much to report that day...
Though I can see why the burqa comparison was made

With a 120 mile range they'd need charging up again by lunchtime on the likes of the x21

A van has ploughed into crowds in Barcelona's Ramblas tourist area.
Spanish police say several people have been injured in a "massive crash", while emergency services are urging people to stay away from the area around Plaça Catalunya.

BBC news are saying 13 dead, 80 injured.
2 arrested and 1 shot dead.
R.I.P to those who died (not that person who was shot dead)

Anyone know if I can pay for cinema tickets at the Odeon at Metrocentre on Saturday morning for a screening at 7pm?

Should be able to, seeing as you're usually able to purchase tickets a week or two in advance of the screening.
