(21 Mar 2017, 8:54 pm)Jimmi Fake/scam Facebook profiles.

Getting loads of friend requests lately and all of them are the same, attractive lass in your area (apparently), then you go onto their profile and it has posts saying, well to keep it clean on this forum, lets just say "do you want fun?" then click here [link]. Getting these at least one a week at the moment.

I think I ask on behalf of everyone; what would happen if one of these local lasses sat down opposite you on an X21?

Considering my anxiety issues, nothing would probably happen.

Go to Metrocentre coach park this morning in the hope that the Citaro is on the X21 for a photo of it as timetable says it runs Wednesdays and due at 11:20 and wait for around 40 minutes and it doesn't show up, hopefully can get it Saturday in Newcastle

X21 is double deck operated on Wednesdays, so it's unlikely you would see the Citaro on there today, especially as I think the service on Wednesdays is not operated from Crook or Stanhope and is done from somewhere in Tyneside and I think does a Nexus contract of some description.

Last time I did the X21 on a Wednesday, it didn't stop at the Metrocentre on its way to Newcastle.

It should stop at the Metrocentre before Newcastle on Wednesdays though.

Additionally, it appears to have snowed a fair bit in Weardale last night, so could possibly be delayed due to the conditions up there.

Horses.

Travelled the back roads back from Dalton park, so came i to the village at the far end, only to come face to face with dozens of horses and carts coming the other way, many all over the place and not sticking to their side of the road. Squeezed a bit further up to find that they'd parked their horse boxes all the way up both sides of the road, from the village centre to the library and had even had the cheek to set up a burger van.

You can guarantee that this won't have been cleared with anyone, beforehand. Local plod could probably have a field day with their anpr cameras on all their 4 wheel drives, mind.

I'd extent my annoyance to anyone who takes a horse out on the highway. I'm sure the horse may enjoy the excercise and the human/horse companionship - but there's no way it would choose to be saddled up and made to walk on tarmac with vehicles all around for miles.

I think that's usually may or june.

Ponies and carts are a big part of the culture around here, not just among the travelling community. There's often a pony either in a back garden or being tended to, somewhere up our street. 

There's a big horse fair around Sedgefield, some years, though not every year and often set up at short notice. The one a few years ago ended up with the police heavily involved as they were racing in the road and the council provided portaloos because there were an awful lot of people to be just pooing wherever they could.

Generic email acknowledgements.

Whilst they do have a purpose and do confirm receipt of an email, I often find people or organisations can hide behind them - particularly when a serious complaint has been submitted.

Almost a week since a serious complaint was submitted, and it took a day for the acknowledgement to arrive.
I wait with baited breath for someone to actually take responsibility.
If they don't, my twitter feed may provide a quite public form of entertainment merged with corporate embarrassment.

Self cancelling indicators.

They have a mind of their own. There's some vibrating in the steering collumn on the engine idle which cancels the indicators. Might have to do what Stanley might need to do and get a screwdriver out and tighten everything up
