(29 Apr 2015, 6:26 pm)aureolin I was passing through Waverley this morning on my way to Glasgow, and I happened to notice 87002 standing there! Was well pleased, as it's my first photo of a class 87 loco.

(01 May 2015, 6:22 am)Dan The Metro being unusually quiet for this time of day...

Bring back winter, I say, as I haven't been on a single one with the heating blaring recently. Still needed on mornings - even if the skies are blue!

(01 May 2015, 6:26 am)Michael BUT will you make it to your destination on time  

Glad i'm just using the 18 this morning  

(29 Apr 2015, 6:17 pm)Malarkey Told them I will only work at St J for the Rugby World Cup due to being a Sunderland Fan, wouldnt dare work for the Opposition, staying loyal to my Team.

(01 May 2015, 2:17 pm)MrFozz Lol...I see where ya coming from mate, but that's a mad excuse for not wanting to work somewhere, as it ain't like you have to support the Mags [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]

When I worked at the SoL, there was loads of Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Gateshead fans working there, even a couple of Blyth Spartans fans

More often than not, it is not the club you would work for, as a lot of clubs bring in an outside catering company, in Sunderlands case I worked for Lindley Catering and not SAFC

(01 May 2015, 3:32 pm)Malarkey Thing is though I had only applied to do the Rugby World Cup so really I zero interest in doing anything with the company after that, anything in the meantime is an added bonus.

When did you work for Lindley Catering Fozz, as I worked for them at SOL from August 2010 to January 2011.

(01 May 2015, 4:08 pm)MrFozz First time in 2001-2002 and again from 2007-2011...Worked on the South Stand Away End till I nearly got sacked in 2010 after a game against Manchester United for the following

Manchester United Fans Like Vultures

Funny little story about that, When I got told off about it, I was reminded that I was not supposed to talk to the press as outlined in some kind of employees handbook, which surprised me, because up to that point, I had never seen the Handbook and as soon as I told them that every bar got a handbook very quick

Gary Hutchinson(think he is overall head of catering and hpspitality supposedly went absolutely ballistic, I only kept my job because

1:-I had no knowledge of the employees handbook...and
2:-I told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

I was not actually on the bar it happened, but the bar opposite and was close to go and wade in, as my dad was team leader on the affected Bar, his tills were down about 500 notes when things settled down

(01 May 2015, 4:57 pm)Malarkey See him most Tuesdays at Ingeus and the odd occasion in the City Centre.

(01 May 2015, 5:01 pm)Andreos1 Complete with a ham and pease pudding stottie?

(01 May 2015, 5:31 pm)Andreos1 Laura Rostron back on BBC Look North.

(01 May 2015, 5:11 pm)Malarkey Fozz you never fail to amuse me with your stories.

Anyway I started off in the West Stand with this lass called Nicole, who didnt live far from where I lived so I occasionally got a lift home if we missed the last bus if it was a late K.O, and then there was a reshuffle of Staff on each bar which ended up in me moving over to the North East Corner, Hated the Team Leader on my Bar so I requested to be moved, didnt go far only two bars up from where I was in the East Stand, but also meant I was allowed to pour pints as it was an Alcohol only Bar which I shouldnt of been on as I was only 17 at the time, but as it was only a few weeks till my 18th Birthday at the time they opted not to move me as I was quite good at the old pint pulling.

Nah just Dancing.

(01 May 2015, 5:05 pm)Dan Speaking of Sunderland "legends", I saw "The Bag Man" (minus his bags) near Natwest Bank a week or two ago.

Hadn't seen him for a good few years prior to that - thought he had died!

(01 May 2015, 5:47 pm)MrFozz Dave the Rave is a legend

Who was the gaffer when you were there, was Dave Moses there...Rita(can't remember her surname)...We used to call Moses the Fuhrer or Il Duce

(01 May 2015, 5:50 pm)MrFozz Is Bag Man the guy who won't take anything off anyone, I remember offering some old homeless looking guy a cigarette and pound, he was not happy about it...He would walk round the town checking phone boxes to see if people left there change
