ASHINGTON IS FULL OF CHARVERS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED!
I have no idea why some slutty teenage girl asked how old I was when I was ordering my sub at subway (she was sat having a drink) and how she didn't believe that I was 13, more like 16. Then she followed me out and asked a rather strange question of which isn't really suitable for audiences who view the forum, but the ones with their dirty minds might know. So I told her very kindly to fuck off and how she was every god-damn expletive in the history of human kind.
) a slapper of little slag, it is very sexist and quite offensive...I am guessing what she asked you was of a sexual nature, it is does not automatically make her a slag/slapper or bitch...You never know she may have actually genuinely liked you and what is telling her to Fuck Off going to achieve, nothing really and could end up with you looking rather silly(04 Aug 2015, 6:51 pm)MurdnunoC You're unbelievable.With you on this one mate, when I was 13 I would have loved girls wanting...
Not only do you have the girls flocking at your feet, they also think you're older than you are.
Use this to your advantage and have some fun man!

Just got a text from ee recalling my powerbar. They want it back but aren't going to replace it. I'm running my phone dual sim so it eats through batteries and catching a bus with working power sockets is a bit of a novelty, still.
Another journey on the 7 full of chavs loudly shouting with conversations that are not suitable for the children on the bus and then there is the language.
Disgraceful
I'm beginning to be a regular too this thread as today the driver of 8335 on the Q2 confronted me when I boarded his bus after taking a photo outside of the bus station. I was with Sid when I boarded the versa on the driver asked me if I had permission to take photos and I then explained that it was perfectly alright to take photos outside of the bus station and that a Nexus man told us that that's what we were allowed to do. The driver was very rude and aggressive and told me that I have no permission to take a photo of him but I clearly said that it was of the bus, not him. He the opened the cab door when we got on and said that there are way to many people like us around the bus stations and that it puts him off of his driving, which I think is bullshit because he dosent have to look at us and can just cover his face if the wants to. The Quaylink bus whic ph shows 'pride in transport' was certainly not appealing to me today.

(05 Aug 2015, 9:16 pm)BusLoverMum I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a whole bus where the driver was clearly recognisable. Wonders if he was hiding from the CSA, or whatever it's called, these days.Depends on the angle that the photo has been taken at, we can clearly see the drivers face in this photo I took today https://flic.kr/p/wEZZ6R

(05 Aug 2015, 9:44 pm)LeeCalder You get them unfortunately, Jack. I will never forget the driver on the 27 that told me to fuck off because I was encroaching on his privacy.
Apologise for the language, but that's what he said.

(05 Aug 2015, 9:51 pm)Jimmi My advice is to get a photo of the bus after you get off rather than before you get on as it's difficult for them to say anything to you when you aren't on the bus anymore, about all they can do is give rude hand gestures. I know it's not always possible to get photos when you get off especially if there is no-one at the stop you wish to depart at as by the time you get in a good spot the bus is gone.

(05 Aug 2015, 9:53 pm)Tom I've never had any problems with drivers, but just report it to GNE? It's not acceptable in anyway and I'm sure they'll deal with it.Even when I have on occasion taken a photo before boarding a bus I have had no problems, in fact I often find its the opposite for me, they don't seem to mind if I do it normally and often joke saying stuff like "if I knew I was going to get my photo taken I'd have smartened myself up"

I remember a driver on the Coaster said something along those lines, he's a really canny driver too. Shame they all can't be like that.

(05 Aug 2015, 9:58 pm)Jackamcardle I think Sid is writing a complaint to the facebook page but I haven't heard anything yet. He then told me about a policy at Stagecoach where they must accept that there will be bus spotters around and that the photo is only intentional to the vehicle, not the person driving the vehicle - and I've never had any crap off of them.

(05 Aug 2015, 10:03 pm)Kuyoyo That might also do with the Stagecoach drivers being worried - after all a Stockton depot driver once got sacked for swearing at a pair in Middlesbrough Bus Station. Rule one.......never swear at the big boss

It's always saddening to hear that some drivers are giving others aggression, as a regular passenger or an enthusiast. I recall I've had few problems with Go North East staff, and none with Arriva or Stagecoach that I can think of. I remember an incident in the travel shop at Chester-le-Street, I refuse to go in there anymore. If I needed a timetable from now on, I would go to the travel shop in Gateshead or Park Lane for it. That was the only serious problem I ever had, and I don't recall receiving a response from my complaint because I made it a while after it happened, after finally mustering up the courage. Word of advice to anyone, don't go in the Chester-le-Street travel shop. My only other issue I can think of, was when I was using the X66 back to Gateshead from the MetroCentre. It was a Vyking, and after paying my 90p single, the ticket did not print. When I noticed this, I told the driver. I received the sarcastic response of ''oh what a tragedy, we'll all end up dead!''. Despite putting in a complaint, I still see the prat driving the X66 from time to time. I've never had any issues over photographs or being an enthusiast, though.
