RE: What has amused/made you laugh today?
My phone has just very kindly alerted me to the presence of some rain in my area. I knew that Netweather app would come in handy because I might never have known, otherwise.

What the bloody hell's next?! A sculpture of a man falling off a ladder? A person stepping out infront of a car?
What is that actually supposed to show? To me this just looks like someone lying in the road which is certainly one way to get in hospital.

Well, if you sit 20' up a wall, it's always going to end in tears.

And yes, it's about as helpful as this. GNE paid good money to put these up in the Prontos. I can onl assume they're warning of dangers of standing on the miniature people on the floor of the bus.

A sense of irony in the chip shop last night. We were in for just about last orders, and the lass behind the counter wasn't impressed that the bloke in front of us, didn't have anything smaller than a £20 for a bag of chips. He was in full bus operator uniform. Big Grin

It is well documented that the purple Solars aren't too popular amongst several members on here.

It seems they aren't too popular amongst drivers too
The latest one on witnessing a changeover on 5215.
Driver 1:
'Get me off this bus. My back is killing. Everything rattles, shakes and vibrates.'.
Driver 2: *responds inaudibly*
Driver 1: 'I know. Only been to Shields and back, but I am sick of my life. Good luck!'

To be honest I got on 4945 last Sunday from Shields to Park Lane and it was horrendous, rattled like mad and didnt sound on the healthy side either compared to say the Solars on 93/94 which are just fantastic in my opinion, hopefully if that B8RLE ends up coming up here to Go North East then I hope it gets trialed on the 20.

That way, Andreos1 can have a good moan about purple Streetlites instead - happy days!  Big Grin

Fingers crossed!
It has been mentioned a few times by different people, so it isn't just me!

Amazed how different, different batches are.
I mentioned the red ex 56 spares compared to those in purple and it is quite amazing.
Had a ride out yesterday, that involved a 51 and Y reg example. Both better to owt on the 20's.

There is indeed. Think it has a bus stop being hidden in a bush on the bank which has been mentioned on the forum in the past (unrelated to this topic).

There certainly is.

In a follow up to my post earlier about work today, the following had me stitches inside the Samson Costume.

I was informed by the Marketing Department in Black Cats House at SOL that there would be a Lad in his mid 20s there who follows Samson and Delilah everywhere, and always attends events when he knows they are going to be there, anyway approximately 2 Minutes after arriving at The Beach House myself and Delilah got collared by this lad, he starts by saying how much he loves Delilah and goes into his bag and digs out a Delilah Cuddly Toy, he goes dont worry Samson (to me) I like you to, so just morning I went to the Club Shop at the Stadium and bought the one of Samson also, had to show severe restraint to not start laughing out loud, the Lad was there from start to finish and followed us everywhere we went along the sea front for almost 3 Hours (Got a bit creepy after a while), in a way he reminded me a lot of Bazza and his enthusiasm for Buses etc.

Just highlighting this post and wondering where your crystal ball is.
