RE: Whats made you happy today? - Dan - 21 Apr 2014
(21 Apr 2014, 11:33 am)AdamY As my experience of enthusiasts is limited to those posting here, I'd love to know who everyone is talking about
One Graeme Palmer did not turn up at 16:30 yesterday, the time we were due to depart Brough to head off back home.
Excluding him, the last of the troops arrived between 16:15 and 16:25. The bus actually started letting people on from 16:00. We waited until 16:35 and then left without him - only for him to wave the bus down as we were leaving Brough.
Had me on the edge of my seat all the way back to Bishop Auckland as we were on a Dennis Condor (surely must be famous for the lack of speed) and I was due to meet a connection to the Pronto at 17:38. It took us approximately an hour to get to Brough from Bishop Auckland, so I knew it would be approximately the same coming back too.
He was mentioned last month here, to add an insight to what Gary said.

(15 Mar 2014, 6:41 pm)R838PRG Ah The famous Graeme Palmer. The person who thinks he's always right and forces his views on people. Lives in his own world where rules and other peoples views are always wrong and he will never give up arguing. He's had many an argument with Nexus after being thrown out before and then he goes home with nothing better to do than write complaint letters to anyone who has "not complied" with him that day. Perhaps the nexus staff couldn't be bothered with an ear chewing.
If I didn't know better, and going from this description alone, I would have guessed eezypeazy and this Graeme fella were the same person!

If you want to go to the Olympian one in Durham on Saturday, I would gladly give you a lift there and back if you want.

On a college trip to Lightwater Valley we had to sit on the coach for an hour whilst the staff went to find the lass who had gone walkabout.
Also when I went to see The Killers at Wembley Stadium last year on Cavendish Travel someone didn't come back to the bus after the gig so the lad she was with who had made back to the bus got and we ended up leaving them behind

I woulda left him, waved and pulled a moonie as he was left behind, if he cant follow a simple instruction such as the time to be back on the bus, then he is fair to be made to walk home
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Rapidsnap - 21 Apr 2014
Most people wanted too but the Condor got stuck behind the Primrose Tiger, who decided to park up and get out to take some photos of their coach.

Yeah, I live practically 2 minutes away from you
I'm not sure if I'll make it though, sorry. I'll let you know later.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Dan - 24 Apr 2014
Warm Metros. Horrible when the doors open and the cold is let in, though.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - tyresmoke - 24 Apr 2014

Work not being marked, teachers changing deadlines all of a sudden, staff on the sick and walking out.
By the looks of things, they will have a full new childcare department in September

That's shocking. We had similar issues when I went to college over 10 years ago. Lecturers coming and going, no lesson plans, vague knowledge of the course they were teaching (excuse was usually that it was a new course), and work not being marked. We ended up going to see the Principal in numbers and it got sorted out like.
