Ask you as a serial complainer? :p

The cooks are having to cook a meal for staff within the West Ham bus garage.

Facilities in the kitchen are like that of a professional set up!

Haha!

Now on BBC One - Wanted Down Under.

I was expecting it to be an Australian police, camera, action type show, imagine my disappointment to find that its a programme about people thinking about moving to Australia.

Did anyone see the mad Scotsman in the audience on Question Time earlier? Think he had a few whiskys before stumbling his way to Inverness.

Yeah decent program so far, won't spoil it for you but typical problems and showing the 'reality' side of operating a company, driver shortages, lost mileage etc!

And people wonder how all these kids get guns and go into schools and shoot their fellow students, its just ridiculous.

Basicly the dude on it.. is forcing his daughter (the 4 year old) to shoot when she clearly doesnt want to its a disgrace.

Watched that, I don't even think they should sell those Nerf Guns, because it just encourages violence!!

I've noticed whenever a specific bus features in On the Yorkshire Buses, any photos I have on Flickr of that bus gets a few favourites that night.

Quite enjoying the series.

I'm getting really off-topic here, but oh well...

Our school sold one of its buildings at the back end of 2012, and a number of students in my year group were in charge of clearing it out (as it meant we were missing a few lessons, I was all up for it).
All the rooms, cupboards and secret doors had been unlocked, and we were left completely unsupervised, for the time that we were there. The whole building was left for us to roam.

After first clearing out the library (which essentially involved ripping up books that looked a bit too old or tatty), we moved onto the cupboards. We decided it would be best if we each took one cupboard, and we decided to do it based on the form rooms we'd been in during Years 7 and 8 (four classrooms in total). I decided to take my old Year 7 form room, on the basis that it was quite nostalgic being able to be back in that room again - something I hadn't done in about two years.

Alongside the normal boring stuff (exercise books, etc), I found a few NERF guns, with plenty of the bullet things. I decided it'd be rude not to give it a go. It still worked very well, so I thought it'd be fun to go and shoot everyone - which I did. I then brought everyone back into the classroom I was clearing out, and we each grabbed a gun, with several bullets, and had a fight in the derelict Drama Room with its secret corridors that we weren't aware of until that day.

Memories.

Didn't get to see it yesterday, but the Schalke Tournament is on Quest.

Deliberately avoided watching Newcastle over the entire season just gone either in person or on telly (apart from streaming a couple of games) - but going to give it a go today.
