How times change!

(04 Jan 2015, 6:01 pm)MurdnunoC wrote I vaguely remember Bulldog. Was that the game where, if you got tagged, you stood still with your legs open waiting for someone to crawl through in order to be brought back into play?
Did anyone used to play 'Red Rover' or 'What's the time Mr Wolf'?
(04 Jan 2015, 6:06 pm)Malarkey wrote Yeah thats the one, that got banned in Schools as well I think.

That variation could also be construed as sexual harassment.

British Bulldog consisted of carrying someone on piggy back and trying to pull all other contestants off their piggy backers onto the nice hard wooden floor, harder the better.... oh such fun

(04 Jan 2015, 8:19 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote All down to opinion!
I have a weird taste in buses - I get frothy at the mouth when I see a DAF (might make the pilgrimage to Middlesbrough to see one soon).
I think we can all establish the B10BLEs are smashers - can only compare to the Leyland National!
The Volvo B5HLs - awful. They go into snail mode up and down the route to Newcastle!
B9s are very good. Power to the very best, ideal for long and challenging routes.
What else is there? Vykings are nice for a short hop, Lolynes are nice if you ask me!
Pulsars, Eclipses and Solars - all fantastic. Possibly second to the B10BLE?
Cadets are alright I suppose, just don't like 8272/73. Merits are better.
Bendys can clear off back to London.
The standard Mercs are brilliant, smooth on the brakes etc. I would also like to mention, I enjoyed a short ride on 5375 when it did the Lime trials.
Olympians - best deckers in service. The Volvo B7s are very good, but I think one can argue that basically anything that's seen the streets of London hasn't gone beyond 20mph in its life! lol - I think the 21 knocked 'em into shape. Smashing buses, best thing that's come up from London!
Dual Door Renowns just aren't as good as the real things. haha
Versas are alright I suppose, may be alright for the Lime.
Native Presidents are brilliant! Don't mind the odd journey on a Lowlander or ALX400. ALX300s are great, don't know what to say about the Enviro200/300s. I just know I don't like those E400s on the Sapphire. lol
(04 Jan 2015, 8:25 pm)Tom wrote What about Solos, Darts etc?
I don't mind Solo SRs, but the Arriva ones are generally horrible.
MPDs are canny, but other darts are horrid.
(04 Jan 2015, 8:27 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Solo SRs are alright. Darts are 'meh'. MPDs - death machines.
Arriva Solos, hmm, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt as I've only been on a handful.
