(28 Mar 2015, 6:01 pm)MarcTheA4 Another highlight from today, whilst Dan and I were at Jesmond taking photos - Dan kept his cool while trying to inform two young ladies on good places to eat, to be asked the question (in regards to me) - ''does ya friend owa there have a bus fetish or something?''...while I took photos of Streetlites and an E400 in Jesmond. Big Grin

These two girls weren't from the area, and were staying at a hotel near Arriva's depot in Jesmond. I explained that most of the places to eat were within the City Centre, and that it's only 5 minutes away on the bus or Metro, and the two girls were having none of it. One of the girls didn't know what a Metro was, so I said, "it's like a small train". The other girl did know what a Metro was, and she explained it slightly different to me... "It's a yellow sweaty box". At this point in the conversation, one of the girls pointed out that I "sound like Cheryl Cole" - I don't know whether that should be taken as an insult or just a general remark about my accent! Tongue

Lost, the two girls proceeded to talk to me when they made their way up the road, asking if Marcus had a "bus fetish". I'd already finished taking my photos, and I was rather taken aback and didn't say anything to them!

Got to say I like doing my own thing but I wouldn't mind having a travel companion especially if it was to places I've never been before and don't know although I'm sure you'd sharp get sick of me for either talking too much or not enough (Dan would say the latter).

Made that sound a bit needy and creepy.

I always refer to that as "gob*****" as it was on the 19, and the driver was chatting away to a passenger.

(28 Mar 2015, 5:25 pm)Dan Further to the above, I should add that my happy post for today should relate to the fact Marcus didn't ignore me when he saw me at Durham!

In fact, it was quite the opposite. I didn't recognise him, so I had assumed it was just a lad on the 21 sticking his thumb up to take the mick as I had my camera out, which meant I completely ignored the lad. It turned out to be Marcus, who revealed himself a few minutes later when I was on North Road roundabout taking photos!

Lucky it wasn't me, it may have been my arse, not a thumb

Wow. You really notice when the schools are off. Buses run on time and traffic moves more freely. At this rate the time taken to travel between Rowlands Gill and Gateshead will be less than half an hour. Shame it doesn't last!
