Don't even know how this happened as I don't think there was anything to give away the fact I was an enthusiast as I didn't have a camera or anything. RE: What's annoying you today?

I rarely go out with a camera these days, I mainly take photos with my phone if U am in the mood...While I don't really get bothered by people or give away the fact I am an enthusiast, people have asked if I am the bus guy and have been told 'such and such said to ask you what bus to get, what time it comes' even bus drivers have sent people my before... I tend to stand back and not make it blatantly what I am doing, I guess that is probably a reason why I don't really get bothered these days What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 29 May 2015 Arriva service 6 is bloody waste of space ![]() Missed two running together and the next one is 9 minutes late so over 20 minutes to wait then. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Dan - 29 May 2015 An increasingly irritating annoyance has to be the Metro ticket barriers. When running for a Metro that is due in a matter of minutes, being held back by ticket barriers is quite irritating. What adds insult to injury is when Metro staff are too busy on their phones to let me through, or are too busy chatting between themselves. This happens every day, and it's more so an issue on evenings than mornings. There was nobody in front of me and the ticket barrier was open in Gateshead, but there must have been some sort of delay to it as it closed just after I walked through. The man on the barriers then proceeded to shout at me for attempting to hop the barriers. He looked disappointed when I had a pass. RE: What's annoying you today?

I usually make a point of shouting them over, as like you say, are usually too busy on their phones to notice customers. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Malarkey - 29 May 2015 Was quite looking forward to having a chilled out weekend watching the F.A. Cup Final as the Shifts I was supposed to be doing at Newcastle Racecourse got Cancelled, as company in charge of catering decided they didnt need any Bar Staff, and Durham Cricket Ground said they didnt need anyone for the T20 Tonight, And now at the very last minute Direct Recruitment another Agency I am with decided to ring me to see if I would do the Magic Weekend of Rugby at St. Shitholes Park tomorrow, guess the upside is that if I work Saturday & Sunday then I will have £100 in my back Pocket. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Davie - 30 May 2015 All of the photos I took yesterday in Alnwick came out horrendous! The only reasons I'm uploading them to Flickr is because it would have been a waste of time going all the way up there but hopefully these will be a learning curve for me. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Rapidsnap - 30 May 2015 Davie. Those aren't bad shots. No photo has to be spot on perfect. Sometimes it's the flaws that make it unique. My aim with photos, if you can work out which bus (or train) it is, then the photo is fine. It may not suit everyone, but it certainly avoids me getting over stressed about it. Take a look of some of these not so perfect shots.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/17373231605/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/15032707570/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/15007871147/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/6748673393/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/6723167011/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/6624000913/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/11778380593/in/album-72157639442305354/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/11778392373/in/album-72157639442305354/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5527246563/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/11279753796/ And here is a handful of none transport photos to show what I am capable of.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5289262788/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5472040041/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5289267678/in/album-72157625667240342/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5288666749/in/album-72157625667240342/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/5471915141/in/album-72157625667240342/ What's annoying you today?

V3 - Malarkey - 31 May 2015 (31 May 2015, 1:13 pm)MrFozz wrote Going into the heart of enemy territory, hope you don't get struck down Not for the first time either, felt quite ill when walking past the Nine Bar and up through the tunnel to the Leazers Stand, Been there previously to watch the England U21s like 10 Year Ago, and to watch the Olympic Football. Walked along the Pitch side and past the Dugout at the end of my Shift, as I had to take the Bars earnings to some office with the Team Leader at the opposite end of the Ground, plus I didnt know how to get out the Ground from where I was, so the Team Leader acted as the Tour Guide, was quite tempted to take a dump centre of the pitch, but calculating the that would of been difficult with there being no centre circle. I got quite hacked off with this one lass on the Bar, as she kept on asking me to do this that and the other, while I was trying to do the following to ensure the Bar was running like a well oiled machine, from 10.30am until 10pm when I finished minus my 30 Minute Dinner Break I didnt stop.

It's becuase you're over tired and don't have a sleeping pattern. Don't go to sleep at like 1/2am because you probably won't go to sleep. Go to sleep at around the same time each night RE: What's annoying you today?

I used to do all that at Sunderland, when the concerts were on, I was there from 2pm till 1am, if my dad was working there as well... I have also been to see England up there saw them play Ukraine and Azerbaijan and was sat up in Level 7 both times RE: What's annoying you today?
