Can't remember when or how I signed up to it - just know they're relatively short surveys which no doubt do help Go North East, so it can count as my "good deed of the day" when I do fill them out!

A truce has been organised, giving bus company employees living in the village, immunity from attack, after one wedgie too many.
One driver who did not want to be named, had to have his Calvin Kleins surgically removed at Sunderland Royal Hospital before Christmas.
He had to get a taxi, with there not being a bus there from the village.
Drivers are reported to be fed up of the wedgies and having to sneak to/from work under the cover of darkness (and a taxi ride home/to work).
The local mothers group have organised a fund raising day, which involves a street performance in the village on shrove tuesday.
Teaming up with a prominant modern art legend, they are currently practicing the performance under the working title of 'useless tossers'.
Not to be outdone, local residents are also performing a monthly act in line with the lunar cycle.
Passing buses will be treated to homeowners standing in their front rooms - baring their bottoms.
We have sympathisers across the region, including TB from the Harlow Green/Allerdene area, who will continue to plague the GNE fb page like a bad cough.
Our Peterlee representative will continue to dominate and disrupt the GNE twitter feed, complaining as much as he can about the x9, x10, x35 and any other bus he fancies.
Comrades from Chopwell will also complain on a regular basis about the 47.
In the meantime, our Russian operative who goes under the nickname 'meerkat man' will continue with their covert work, liking anything and everything on the GNE fb page, in order to gain access to GNE Towers.
Local operatives will continue to pose as regular passengers, causing as much disruption as possible, such as:
* Passengers posing as OAP's will feign ignorance with the new ticket machines.
* Passengers will regularly press the bell, when having no intention of getting off.
* Metro newspapers will be littered around the bus
* Passengers wanting a relaxing ride and a nap, will be stopped from doing so, by the omni-present empty Fanta bottle, which we will leave to rattle around the bus floor.
As the FPF spokesperson, I often appear on radio and TV, although my voice is dubbed over and voiced by an actor, due to political restrictions.
I appeared on BBC Radio Bournmoor just this morning on the Angie and Jimmy show.

(08 Jan 2014, 6:21 pm)Michael wrote No =(, i thought i would of got them because iv'e signed up for their news letter etc, that was ages and ages ago.
(08 Jan 2014, 6:48 pm)gtomlinson wrote We all had to opt in or out of them when we signed up through work. All of us got them this morning.
I'm orchestrating a mass 'get rid of those 2 middle aged chavs from Metro Radio on the Angel' campaign
Alas...GNE seem intent on asking me about bright upholstery and CCTV
- That's true couldn't they just use local people who no one knows?

(08 Jan 2014, 6:52 pm)Dan wrote Were all due to be out by today (after the very many previous date pushbacks), but it seems that hasn't happened.
End of January for the Cobalts, maybe?

(08 Jan 2014, 7:01 pm)aureolin wrote Do you know if 6099 or 6100 have been on the road yet? Not seen any photos surprisingly, so I'd assume not.
(08 Jan 2014, 7:03 pm)Dan wrote Don't even think they're at Deptford yet. Possibly waiting all documentation to be fully taxed etc so they don't have to be moved on red plates. Kept indoors at SMR afaik.
(08 Jan 2014, 7:06 pm)gtomlinson wrote 2 Silver B9's in the Riverside Depot today by Costco appeared to have drivers who were practicing reversing.
Loading up the car with Mrs GT and was captivated by them reversing out of a parking spot, going back into it and repeating constantly

Anyway, the 71 will always remain high on the agenda !!!
(08 Jan 2014, 7:04 pm)Michael wrote Wonder if that's the reason why the others aren't out yet
(08 Jan 2014, 8:01 pm)andreos1 wrote Just having a tipple or two now.
Where has Fozz's bookies gone? Will stick a tenner on the 71 not staying in its current guise beyond the summer!
It is dying a slow death out there.
(08 Jan 2014, 8:09 pm)Michael wrote The 71 seems to be getting worse by peoples comments, i think they should of kept it to going to Sunderland but maybe a different way?
Wanna stick a tenner on them changing North Sunderland in 6 months to?
(08 Jan 2014, 8:08 pm)aureolin wrote A selection of Cobalt Clipper B9s that I've checked would indicate that all appear to be all taxed. The two red spares for the Fab Fifty Six don't exist on the enquiry system though, so I'd assume they're not.
You can check here if anyone is interested.
