Having an absolute 'mare with displays today, prefer the nights for this reason.

Whilst I am getting destinations fine but photos are coming out very dark. The sun keeps going in at the wrong times and have had this issue every time I've been out in about the last two months. Of course every 13/X25 I am in a position to photograph is a Chester-le-Street based vehicle, next one is 5204 although I am currently on 6051 30 minutes in front.

I am also have the Tapatalk quoting issue you mentioned earlier in another thread (using mobile browser for quotes).

Got a lot photos to upload to Flickr and my laptops crashed twice

The dispute over me using the nickname Jimmi has come about again.

This is one of many social issues I'm currently facing and is making me feel miserable.

Nobody who is worth caring about gives a damn about a pseudonym. Walk away from the disputes, it ain't worth trying to reason with people who care about such things.

Basically the situation is (some members may remember me mentioning this before), I was asked by someone named Jimmi to change my Flickr name a while back but refused and seemingly he's still bitter about it as he messaged me on Messenger earlier and said "yo ass' nickname ain't Jimmi anymore" I didn't respond as it will probably get nowhere. Probably annoys him even more now I have more accounts where I have the name Jimmi and even have it set as a nickname on my Facebook.

This quote is coming via my phones browser (damn Tapatalk).

Well...

I'm pretty familiar with the block button, I've used it a fair few times now and I can't see things changing soon

Ignore him, he's a 10 year old who's surrounded himself with loads of veg to make him look hard.

M1 shut due to a incident, so instead of getting CityZap from Leeds to York (which is heavily delayed), I've had to do a bit of ticket splitting with my CrossCountry service to Darlington, boarded at Leeds instead of York. To annoy me even more, I was reserved in the quiet carriage from York and of course on this journey no-one is allowed in said carriage for some reason.

Often both, unfortunately. Lynx and Oh D'Armpit seem to go together like Lily of the Valley and stale wee.

What is there to dispute? Some people think with their backsides. Swerve them like you would any other rubbish.

People standing on roads to take photos of a bus... its getting beyond ridiculous now...

22 to Sunderland now over 10 minutes late. The app claims it's passed us. The boys are driving me nuts.

Edit, eventually arrived 1/4 hour late, yet the app is still making up numbers in places it hasn't even got to, yet!

The 11:19am, 36 from Park Lane hasn't bothered to turn up.

According to the app, both are due in 14 and 16 minutes.........


Edit:
Asked the driver and it brokedown in Silksworth

Was running for a X21 in Gateshead Interchange earlier this evening, as I got stuck surrounded by the queue for the 21, so had to run round the inside of the Interchange, ran through the doors and as I was rushing I feared I was going to miss it, so accidentally dropped the F word, next thing I know I've got someone in my face threatening me, I ended up not getting on that X21 out of fear of being on the bus with said person.

Bus is probably the safest place with CCTV. I don't think somebody is going to follow you all the way to Bishop to start a pathetic squabble. Who knows, though.

The wonderful people at Darlington Borough Council are digging up the A167 in Darlington AGAIN!!! [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

Bad enough contending with a 30+ minute late running X93 from Scarborough and then get the joy of standing in Middlesbrough Bus Station for about an hour whilst X66's come in but don't go back to Darlington, just pleased that the 19:25 X66 from Middlesbrough drops off the 29A, otherwise who knows when I'd get home, although I would have given up and got the train home, at extra cost though.

I wanted to tell a friend something, although when I told him he didn't take it well.

Woman huffing because bigun has dared to open a window. If she's that uncomfortable with today's icy august weather, she can blooming well ask him to shut it and stop gesturing to me with dramatic shrugs of her coat.

When you go into Poundland at Middlesbrough and go self-service and then you go over to the two free tills and discover neither work and have to do a walk of shame to the back of the queue. Security bloke could have pointed this out instead of staring at me, typical they put the out of order notices on whilst I had to queue (again!).

The only circle of hell more hellish than that particular Poundland is the one in darlo. Once you're in, you ain't leaving in a hurry.

We've had plans scuppered by rain for the second day running.

When people insist on broadcasting their music on public transport, currently on a bus where I've had to move from the back to the front of the bus and its made little difference, no matter how loud I blast the Stone Roses out of my headphones.

This could well be the thing that annoys me most on public transport.

Yeah it does my head in when you get a bunch of semi feral chavs blasting rave music and talking crap.

Stone Roses now that is good music.

Do you want to know what was even more of a flashback to that trip, the trip I did on the X93 on Tuesday, minus the music and the two buses that didn't run (I got the train this time!) it was pretty similar although I was at least more awake this time.

Another bus, another arse broadcasting the tunes! [emoji35]

Don't go to the West Midlands, as it's been the same on virtually every bus I've been on here!
