Don't think the mods will allow you to use that as a username on here.

Nope. It has a far more Mumsnet flavour to it. DickheadOfSteam. Might use it, actually.

Maybe Richard Head would be acceptable?
Matt LeBlanc should be ashamed of himself... See Clarkson, Hammond and May wouldn't of done that!
BBC presenter says he was ‘mortified’ when he saw images of Matt LeBlanc performing stunts near the war memorial -

I don't think he should Michael. Someone has planned and submitted paperwork for it to happen, and even gained mayoral approval to close the roads.
I do agree its extremely bad taste, but the presenter shouldn't be made the scapegoat for that.

Matt is a yank maybe he didn't know it would be bad taste but its still annoying that it went ahead!
You can point the blame at everyone involved in it.... but Clarkson and co wouldn't of done that, even if it was giving the go ahead.
Clarkson does a lot for the armed forces, more than anyone else.......... i'm sure hes part of the charity "Help The Heros".
Is this not a big publicity stunt though...? The more Top Gear is talked about, the more people will watch it.
It's like all of the other stunts (and as much as I adore Hammond, Clarkson and May, even with them too

It could be a stunt to bump viewers up but its a disgraceful one.

Get a few people to report him/her.
The stupid idiot at the paper shop! I bought three packs of mints which are 79p each, I paid with a £10 note and the daft cow gave me change of a £5!
Don't normally complain about open windows on the bus but i'm on the 20 and the window is open and all i'm getting is the draft...
Can't close it because people are sitting next to it... -.-
Stupid Council put temp traffic lights on a main road and gridlocked Boldon Lane.

Yep, I left Kepple Street on 8298 on time and ended up 15 mins late when getting off because if it.

8299 took 15 minutes from the roundabout after the Hospital to get onto Green Lane.
Well I think we all know what happened earlier, if you don't... The original intention today was to head to Hexham (plus possibly Haltwhistle) to catch the two loaned Solo's at Go North East's Hexham depot, unfortunately my 15 from Durham turned up 15 minutes late meaning my connection with the 689 in Consett could not be met meaning pretty much the whole plan for the rest of the day was in tatters. Fortunately the Optare MetroCity demonstrator appeared in Durham on the 20 so I got it up to Sunderland but wasn't totally impressed with my photo so I thought I could do better, so I picked a good spot with the sun in a perfect place in the Houghton-le-Spring area only for the service to be regulated making my efforts of standing for half an hour, pointless! Tried to get a better shot in Durham but the front was completely shadowed.
In addition to the above, I had some plank nearly hit me heading downhill on a bike whilst I was stood waiting for the 15 at Millburngate.
Nearly missed the first bus of the day as I was already pushing it for time then I had to shift some barriers as someone had moved them so it was blocking the footpath (this was not how the barrier was meant to be).
Also when I get angry I often lose sense of concentration which is a nightmare, today I somehow managed to nearly get myself ran down by a Fab Fifty Six (would have been totally my fault).
So all of this just set off my short fuses and left me totally angry and stressed.
Also, social anxiety has been causing some problems in the last few days, I need to do something but I can't bring myself to do it. This has been leaving feeling stressed and annoyed with myself.
So now I don't know whether to go to York like I was planning on doing or head to Hexham on Saturday.

Big'un gets extremely disorientated when he's stressed out and/or pre-occupied. You'll often see me holding his hand, even though he's as big as me because he's "road? what road?" or ready to walk away where he can't see me and will then panic.
he went through a really bad patch, a couple of years ago, while e were waiting for news of whether he'd get a place at his current school. I had him out of school for a few days, as his mental health was so poor and most of his class were on a residential, so it was a good time to give him a break. Being at home, he stopped with the tics and stims and self harm, but then we went for a walk and there was icy rain blowing in his face. Blinkers straight on, again - he ploughed through ever pile of mud and poo without even appearing to notice it.
So it's utterly crap, but you're far from alone.
The just after 9am 22 was cancelled (app said it was 38 minutes late, ie it was the next bus, as only one passed at that time)
Have had to re-schedule today's appointment because the next bus wouldn't get me there on time. Not nice weather to be standing at bus stops longer than I have to - cheeks and hands are burning from the cold.
The real annoyance is that I'd activated a £7 day ticket on my phone. Shall have a cuppa and tidy up a bit then use it to take some crap to the charity shop and pick up some shopping. That's twice now I've activated a ticket then been let down by a stupidly late or cancelled bus.
Well, the bus I want to take now is currently 9 minutes late. Crossing my fingers, now.
No inkling of what's causing the delays, though I think this one was late leaving Durham
Park at the Northumbria Hospital in Cramlington is an absolute joke. It took me 10 minutes to get parked. Why didn't they build a multi story car park from the beginning.
Bollocks, I've lost the charger for my camera.
