(07 Apr 2014, 4:49 pm)Andreos Constantopolous At the risk of sounding like an old perv...

The cute little thing coming out of 0800 Repair tonight, who was walking along Picktree Lane towards Chester, may want to buy a longer skirt or bigger knickers.

The skirt she was wearing, kept riding up and giving everyone a view of everything.

It made a thirty something year old man and I am sure every other red blooded male stuck in traffic very happy tonight!

Sounds like a bird I saw on a bus a few years ago, was in a back facing seat on a Merc, this bird was sat on the back seat, shortest skirt, her knickers were nothing more than a piece of string, I got an absolute eyeful, it winked at me...It put me in a good mood that day Big Grin

I only realised it was school holidays this morning. X1 done a no show so I assumed it was bogged down with the uni students, but then the 56 pulled in on time with only a handful of people on board. Very unusual as it's usually a case of sardines in a Solo!

I'm pleased that I opted to ride down to the baths/gym today instead of driving. If I had, I would've been forced to turn around on the A694 just before Swalwell Roundabout as there had been some sort of incident involving a van going down the embankment near to where the Consett-bound bus stop is located. It didn't look like anyone was hurt.

I noticed that services 45/46/47 were being diverted along Shibdon Road and Winlaton as a result.

Having a grand day out with mates at the Kirkby Stephen rally. Thanks to John Atkin for driving us across in the Condor and Stu Gray for organising said trip! I had a great day, riding on some vehicles from my youth and others that I've not had chance to ride on before, like a Leyland Lion (or if certain people are looking... "Old bus") and an MCW Metrorider! Nice way to end that day was a quick ride on Lee Garrett's superb Metrobus UTN501Y too, that bus is spot on and superbly restored.
I'm sure Dan will agree a good day was had by all.

I would have went, and probably enjoyed it, but would have looked stupid being way younger than everyone else.

Yes, it was a great day out. The Condor was arguably equally as loud downstairs as it was upstairs - though the sources of sound were completely different! Tongue
May I extend my thanks to Stu for organising the trip, and of course to John for driving. Special thanks to John for dropping me off at Bishop Auckland Bus Station rather than the Market Place when we were home-bound - I probably would have missed my X21 connection (which I caught by 3 minutes) if he hadn't. The hour-long wait for the next X21 wouldn't have been great. I hope a similar trip is done next year too.
It was a great day out - I like the set-up of Kirkby Stephen, with the shuttle buses working very much like an ordinary bus service would (two termini with stopping points in the middle). Although they seemingly weren't timetabled (departing when either full or when instructed to as there were higher numbers of people waiting in a specific area), they were frequent and you could guarantee to get wherever you wanted within 15-30 minutes.

There was a lad younger than you on the trip, Tom! He was with one of the enthusiasts who came on the trip, but it does show that you can go to these things no matter how old or young you are. Besides, you're not that much younger than me?
