For gods sake. Any need to report this to a newspaper?

If it was the Northern Echo and an Arriva driver, the gesture would have knocked someone over. Wink Big Grin

If that happened to him, Malarkey should report that Gateshead Central Taxis driver Tongue

If it was the Northern Echo it would be turned into an argument that Darlington needs a bus station.

Do think it is a bit OTT to put this in a paper. The photo has also appeared on his photostream.

My thoughts when this happens to me is, you (T-word) that's going in the Have You Ever thread.

I'm a bit behind Malarkey ...


RE: Anything and Everything - omnicity4659 - 27 Jun 2015

I do think that the bloke takes things right out of proportion. A driver giving the thumbs up gets his photo cropped too. -.- https://www.flickr.com/photos/73802739@N05/19157408526/in/photostream/

Seems like the whole bleeding street is letting fireworks off!

Supposed to be 25c today in Sunderland also means the pollen is very high.......... -.-


RE: Anything and Everything - MrFozz - 30 Jun 2015

Little help needed...

What's the best way to get front Murton to Mountsett Crem, at Dipton I think...go through Durham or go through Park Lane?????

Either way you will need to get a Bus to Durham, and get on the 43/44 and get off at Mountsett Garage, the Crem is a short walk from there.

Thanks Malarks...

The Consett buses from Sunderland don't go that way then?

265, 43/44 it is going to be then

Only the 43 goes to Dipton mind, not the 44/44A. Takes 45 minutes too. 

Another option would be the 61 to Park Lane, Metro to Gateshead, then X70 to Dipton. The X70 takes about 30 minutes from Gateshead to Dipton, but you'll have to time your connections well as the X70 only operates hourly. It departs Gateshead at 40 mins past.

Thanks Tom...Gonna ask my old man if he fancies taking me, though I don't mind getting the bus, will make a day of it and being on my own means I can quietly reflect on why I am going to Mountsett Smile


RE: Anything and Everything - Michael - 01 Jul 2015

Another day of hot weather, another day off for me although i'm back to work tomorrow and Friday... better not be hot, as it'll be long days.


RE: Anything and Everything - theblackwatch - 01 Jul 2015

Certainly hot here today, luckily we have air-con in the office and I'm able to go to work in my shorts - still a bit warm though! Managed to take advantage of the weather yesterday by leaving early to phot a few of the older buses on school runs Wink
