Typical carry on at King's Cross. Due to depart at 1700, and it's platform has still not been called. It usually ends up in a 10 minute rush, and late departure.

Barriers were on at 1630, but I just boarded straight away as I'd looked it up on Real Time Trains.

Just been called now Smile

Just! Surprisingly the 1700 is full to the brim. I usually jump on this one as it's normally quiet. Still no trolley service like...

Always! haha. The only way I can usually go first class, is if I can prove it's the most economical ticket available.

Wasn't aware that Aureolin was polis like?

Maybe we should all say nothing and try to act as innocently as possible from now on.
7 is filling up and we have ignorant pass holders occupying two seats and we haven't got to Ferryhill yet! [emoji34]

EDIT: thankfully a fair few got off in Ferryhill.
FLICKR!!!!
Can't edit location now, can't use Organizr on iPad, and no, I'm not downloading the app.

Edit Location
We’re hard at work redesigning our brand new photo experience. For now, you can Edit Location in Organizr.
Apologies if this offends...

This whole ''cut for Zayn'' thing after Zayn Malik has decided to leave One Direction...girls self-harming because a boy has left a band...obviously don't know if it's true or not but I've heard a few teenage girls have killed themselves because of it...

No mention of the 149 innocent people who died in that pilot murder-suicide plane crash!

It's beyond stupid, it shouldn't get to the point where they should self-halm because some dip[emoji90] decides to leave a [emoji90]pop group.

Crap like this makes nervous...

These girls need some serious help...

I don't how real the problem, but I looked on Twatter and some young girls have been proudly displaying there cuts on there...You could laugh at it if it was not so serious...

Is it any wonder Zayn Malik wants out when they have seriously messed up fans like that

Your right about the news though...We should be thinking of those 150 mass murder-suicide victims than a few pre-pubescent little girls who think Zayn Malik leaving 1D is the end of the world...Some people really need to grow up and realise there is more going on than 1 Direction

I had this conversation with my friends earlier today, so I may as well repeat and edit what I said to them:

It is completely ridiculous how one boyband have "brainwashed" teenage girls into believing their world revolves around the band.

It seems that a phenomenon has occurred here, something that is completely outrageous that parallels extraordinary religious experiences such as the Toronto Blessing (YouTube it!). It is beyond belief that people would actually cut themselves because of a certain person leaving a blinking band. It's like us lot cutting ourselves because the Yellow Bus Olympians are leaving the fleet soon. Would we dream of doing that? I'd argue not.


In my view, all of these lasses who are cutting themselves seriously need their heads examined. I don't think there's anything else I can say really. It's so ludicrous.

They don't use them anyway, they pay £10 more for a packed lunch bag (or pencils etc) because it has some little boys on them.
Eastleigh FC have really pissed me off, they are demanding so much stuff for tomorrows match at Gateshead Stadium because "We've came a long distance" I'm sorry like but are they forgetting about when our team went down and we got minimal hospitality!

P.s. You aren't that far away compared to Dover and Torquay!!

Seriously there is so much 1D stuff out there, go to somewhere like Blackpool and it is impossible to not see at least one of their faces on something like T-shirts or cushions and stuff like that.

It is rather worrying that this sort of reactions are happening just because someone has left a boyband, seriously some of the reactions from fans you'd be confused in thinking he's died.

Doesn't take much to piss you off when it concerns Gateshead mate [emoji14]
Made a right pigs ear of things today, failed to get a decent shot of the GNE buses with white service numbers, tried some shots on the Quayside with many of them going wrong. Selected the wrong image of a MAX base liveried Gemini on the X2. Not reading things properly.

Not the best day today then, I've uploaded a few pictures to my Flickr but I am very tired and there was lots of stuff so I will upload more another time - tomorrow maybe.

I cannot get to sleep, and I'm supposed to be attending a Football match tomorrow
You had more sleep than me [emoji6]
I had more sleep than anyone Tongue
My mam says that I can't go to Newcastle today, although I've got a free bus ticket. Sad

Not necessarily that one...  Tongue

When applying my copyright in Aviary, it doesn't want to use the font "Chelsea Market", it just uses Arial Black and ruins the photo as that font is "too heavy".

Ironically, it's a Sunderland photo...  Big Grin

Chelsea Market isn't a Web font though. It sounds like a commercial one? I'd have thought the tool would only support traditional Web font families, e.g. Verdana, Tahoma, Arial.

Oh and copyrights ruin photos in my opinion. Not the font it's in. When I first started uploading on Flickr, I used to stamp everything, but nowadays I don't bother. I'm more than happy for anyone to use my photos for non-commercial purposes.

Aye, but I don't want someone nicking my photos and claiming that he went to said place to take photo of said vehicle.

I've still got the un-copyrighted ones on my website's gallery, so if anyone asks to use the photo, I'll just send them the original.

This is an example - of a person who steals un copyrighted photos and publishes them on his Flickr, regardless of locations. Many enthusiasts know him for just stealing any rail/bus photographs which don't have copyright etc. I personally don't want any of my photos on his photostream, over wise there will be hell on.  Big Grin

I have to agree with copyrights ruining photos as to me it takes attention away from the main subject (buses). Obviously I know the reason why you and others do place these stamps as it is to stop other people taking the image and passing them off as there own and possibly other reasons.

My Flickr account is set to "All rights reserved" as I'd hate to be browsing and find someone passing my own work off as their own especially with all the time and effort that goes into my work. I if I did see one of my photos elsewhere I would demand that it is taken down, not really sure what to do if they refused to take it down but I would want to take some action as it is copyright infringement at the end of the day. If anyone does see a potential photo theft let me know.

Not sure if I would ever allow things like blogs to use my photos even with consent as it would be even easier for other people to steal my photos.

I am happy if someone places a link to the original source (my Flickr) as if they click the link they'd be taken to the image on my Flickr.

I am happy for my photos to appear in the news section here on NEB as I am given acknowledgment that it's my photo and it links to the photo on my Flickr.
This piece of scum.

Coached a team that played in the same league/division as my eldest.

Feel mightily sorry for the lads, who I assuming played in the team he coached.

Hadn't heard anything at all, but noticed he had been missing for a while, including the fixture between the team he coached and my sons team just a few weeks back.

Hope he rots inside.
Speaking to people today, apparently he has already been attacked and lost half an ear.
Deserves a slow, painful time rotting away at her majesties pleasure.
