What's annoying you today? V4
(26 Apr 2016, 12:31 pm)LeeCalder Because of their eagerness to get you too book with them again, the constant flow of emails etc, which although you can stop are very annoying.
As well as this, the fact they now opt for Nectar Points instead of their own reward system.

An Arriva driver...
Standing at the bus stop near the A19 flyover at Shotton, waiting for a 24 on my way to our lasses in Ludworth, put my hand out, bastard drove right past me...
Had to get the 22 to Thornley and walk towards Ludworth, our lass came and picked me up

(26 Apr 2016, 2:43 pm)Dan Set up a filter for the e-mails to bypass your inbox, then you'll still have them archived should you ever need to read them but you won't get the notifications. Five minute job, and then you can save on a booking fee etc!I have a whole separate email account for everything potentially spammy. I have an old one I care about even less for everything potentially spammy and virussy.
I thought you said in a previous post that you weren't bothered about rewards schemes, so I'm not sure why you care about Nectar Points?

Awww. Should have popped in for a cuppa
(The 22 we caught, the other week, did end up in Ludworth, when the driver got lost after taking a forced detour)

Testing this Arriva thing (see another thread)
3 X12's didn't bother running out of Newcastle (assumed the A19 crash was affecting traffic or perhaps just Durham roadworks)
Annoyingly one of the X12's jumped back into service from Dryden Road

Sky+ series link not recording NINE episodes of something. Thanks! 
As we don't have a Arsehole of the Day thread...
We just overtook a cyclist on the A688 near Tindle Crescent and we had plenty of time to overtake a cyclist but the woman coming the other way decided to flash the lights and do the hand signal for w***er at us, despite the fact we were back in our lane in plenty of time. (I'm not driving obviously)

(30 Apr 2016, 12:03 pm)Adrian And we don't need one either, before anyone gets any ideas... there's enough negativity in this thread!Sorry.
How do you know the driver didn't have to slow down for the bus? If she has had to, then that's a poorly timed manoeuvre.

(30 Apr 2016, 12:13 pm)Jimmi Sorry.
The move was made with plenty of space, if she was having to brake then she must be such a nervous driver to the point she shouldn't be driving I feel, also we have to question her driving safety seem as one of her hands was not on the wheel whilst the obscene hand gesture was made.

Okay, my comments have backfired, I haven't thought some of these things through.
First off co-worker phones in sick, which resulted in me finishing at 1800 instead of 1530.
Then on the way home, encountered several idiot drivers, with the last one cause me to take evasive action, which caused my engine to misfire and go into limp mode with the Engine Management light on. So unless the engine settles down overnight, I'm bussing it to the rally tomorrow and to work for the next few days until I can get it to a garage.

(30 Apr 2016, 7:03 pm)BusLoverMum It's always on a Bank Holiday, isn't it? Our Mazda had a dodgy DPF and you could guarantee that, after a Bank Holiday weekend excursion, somewhere, it would play up. We gave up not long after it went into limp mode just south of Scotch Corner after dropping big'un off at Ferrybridge services. Bank holiday, of course.

(30 Apr 2016, 9:52 pm)South Tyne Lad In cars if the depollution Filter is defective, It will send it into limp-mode to keep within the Emmisions range. If you can just pull over and turn the car off and turn it back on again, That should reset the filter.
Though the car in the long term will probably have to visit a garage to get it resolved before it gets worse.

Anyone else's hay fever starting to get bad? My nose is blocked and my throat feels horrible so looks like it's getting worse than just itchy eyes. Barely got any sleep last night and that's probably the reason I couldn't be bothered with today. Need to get some better tablets too as the ones I've got now do fuck all
