Poured himself a glass of wine (he doesn't drink much) put an X-Ray Spex CD on and has fallen asleep in the armchair

Can't beat a good bit of X-Ray Spex...now I'm showing my age

Running into Middlesbrough bus station just in time to avoid getting caught in torrential rain, only to hear a song playing over the tannoy - something about raining and drowning

Tittybottle park

I laughed last weekend when 5434 said 'Robert Redhead Park'

A 'different' name for a park

Watching a certain two spotters trying to guide the driver into the right sport during the Olympian running day on Saturday, and amused myself with sarcastic remarks, especially when they complained about reflections. My response - "Oh no it's the end of the world, the window is reflecting."

Concerned should be the word, not amused! Don't forget the Leyland badge being stuck on the buses with Blu Tac!

At points some of the enthusiasts were nearly getting run over. Was a bit embarrassing standing right outside houses at one photo stop, even more so when we started leaving and then we immediately stopped for people to photograph one of First's X78 StreetDeck's on the 29.

A women is trying to drink her coffee on the metro but she can't because the metro is shaking that much ???

Having a Flickr browse and came across this rather nice photo:

What's amused me is the idea of using a Gemini as a sightseeing bus because of it's lovely big upper windscreen; then turning the front seats to face backwards!

Got a bit of a laugh today...One of my mates I have known for years is now a millionaire after he won a million large on a scratchcard...

Would love to be that lucky myself

There was a documentary on BBC1 about Euro 96. Hosted by Alan Shearer, he interviewed a host of players in the squad and inevitably, Baddies and Skinner.

Jason Lee was still getting that 21 years later when he played for Notts County, we played them on the last day of the season in 2007 and we gave it 'He's got a pineapple on 'is 'ead'

David Baddiel in black face with a pineapple on his canister still creases me up to this day...

As for Euro '96, Gazza making a right tit of Colin Hendry and Andy Goram is something I will never forget...Cant wait to playthe Auld Enemy in WCQ this year

And I never forgave Gareth Southgate for his half arsed attempt at his penalty

Speaking of Baddiel and Skinner. There's a clip in one of their 'three lions' music videos, where they play an England vs Germany match. The German line up is almost as funny as John Motson having to say the said players' name in commentary.

It was quite commonplace for angry young people to be burning pictures of her around Monument, in the early 90s!

If anyone is off to Iran soon, check your attire before you go. Goodness knows what will happen if you take your Spongebob trousers.

Without watching the Three Lions Video wasn't the German Line Up made up of 11 Kuntz

It looks a mess anyway haha. No fucks given by Bilic tonight like, swearing live on TV and he looks proper rough! Hopefully he's on more games

An ATS EuroMaster van parked on the new bridge at Lumley Castle, having fallen victim to a tyre blowout and presumably waiting for someone to recover him or replace the tyre.
I loved the irony.

I was on a First Transbus Dart earlier on where rattles around the cab wall and access hatches for the destination equipment had been 'fixed' by wedging paper towels in the gaps. I'll try to hunt it down again to get a photo.

Later got on an X-reg mpd operated by D&G Bus which was so immaculately kept  it could have been new, even the seats had recently had their padding replaced.

Some of the scarlet band E200s have cable ties to stop various bits from rattling and crashing down.

Often tempted to smuggle blu tack onto streetlites to fix the emergency exit doors!

My mam found a bus ticket for the 685 return and used it

Couldn't think of anywhere to go today, So I'm off to West Yorkshire! First Leeds Wright Streetdeck's, Hyperlink B7LAs and Flying Tigers are todays challenge, Though if any of Bradford's X6 Streetdeck's are out I will track that down too.

So I doubt anyone will see me today.
