They'll still be on the memory card though Davie

A certain driver missed 2 stops (despite pressing the bell twice), so had a nice 1/2 mile walk home. The driver is a good lad but I suppose the sound of the bell becomes normal after a period of a time .

I never delete the photos off my SD card, I can afford to buy new ones every 6 months.

I don't trust Internet photo hosting websites, because of the likes of Fotopic.

I keep all my photos on a portable hardrive, incase something happens like my Flickr gets hacked and I lose the photos or if Flickr was to suddenly disappear like Fotopic did and all your images would likely to be lost.

I have my photos stored on DVD disk and an External Hard Drive. Currently I have 53 DVD discs containing my photos dating from August 2003.

At work, sitting in my van on a quiet country road having some bait and being disturbed by some 'toff' landowner/farmer (carrying a shotgun) enquiring whether I was lost before asking what business I had in the area. Maybe, he was trying to be friendly - I don't know - but to me he came across as quite snobbish.

A snobbish attitude would be the least of my worries if he had a shotgun!

I tried to get a photo of Go north east 4911 which was operating Orbit service 52 but my camera decided to freeze and I ended up taking a photo of a lamppost

Went to Durham to get photos of the Solo SR's on the 40/40A and saw two old Solos instead!

Not amused!

I deliver to farms in remote locations on a regular basis so it's not that uncommon to see farmers with shotguns walking around fields and such. I mean, it wasn't like the farmer/landowner I encountered today was waving round the gun in a threatening manner - it was 'in half' (sorry I don't know the correct terminology) and safely draped over his arm.

As I said, I perceived him to be snobbish as he was a stereotypical 'toff' (possibly the first one I've ever came across) who spoke like he had a mouth full of marbles, enquiring about 'my business in the area' without, in my view, any real reason. He may have just been trying to strike up a conversation - perhaps my reaction was a manifestation of my own class prejudices.

Carphone Warehouse - How did we do?

I am going to take great pleasure in saying how I think you did.

Bumped into my Dad(If I could call him that) today in Seaham with his missus and grandbairn.

Not seen him properly for 13 years, apart from 2 occasions, once at Stadium of Light the other time in The White Lion in Houghton and completely ignored me...I was surprised when he spoke to me this morning...If his Mrs and grandkid had not of been there I would have had words with him...

I absolutely hate the man, caused me nothing but heartache over the years and was always a trigger that set me off on a downward spiral, a few years ago, the police picked me up in Fencehouses looking for him, I was absolutely mortal drunk, and what I was doing in don't know as he lives up Hetton Downs...Luckily I was found where I was after I was threatening to burn his house down

Today must be the first time I have ever been genuinely pleased to see an MPD show up

When he asked where I was going I wish I had said 'Going to see a man who is to me what you never had been' but I quickly got on the bus before I said something I regretted

That solar eclipse was a waste of one hour staring out the window.

Last time I tried Viagra, it give me a stinking headache and caused my blood pressure to shoot through the roof

The sound of a pacer train departing to Carlisle this train had horrible break sounds to make matters wors it was 2 joined together it hurt my ears as it departed Newcastle

It wasn't the brakes. The Pacers have no bogies, hence the squeal.

Do pacers even operate the Newcastle-Carlisle journeys? Thought it was just the sprinters that did them.

They do. I had the misfortune once last summer.

Aye, whatever Heaton have tbh.

Two sets joined together on some runs.
Had the unfortunate position of being around Bensham this afternoon when a run came in from the direction of the Metrocentre. I heard them, before seeing it.

As a side note, it was full to the brim.

You don't hear them for 8 hours every day right outside your office window!

I will be deaf in a few years time, I'm sure...!

I can hear them from my house at times, thankfully we have a very poor level of service (every 2 hours).

Can also often hear a "honk honk" sort of sound that sounds like a miserable clown.

Sometimes (although I live about a mile away from the railway station), I can hear the horn of a HST or Class 91 early in the morning.

The Right Honourable His Royal Highness the Lord Sir Daniel Graham, CBE MBE OBE and whatever else there is....

This assignment, we got it on the 16.3.15... and its due in today... only did one lesson on it!

Good points to it.... No word count.... think i'll target 1k of words...

Just feel in such a bad mood right now.

Seeming to think why I'm bothering with Flickr and I am thinking that no-one really cares what I do and feel like no-one is following me, even though I do have a decent amount of followers and get a good amount of favourites on most photos.

I have no idea why I am feeling like this right now, earlier this afternoon I was thinking that I have a good number of followers and people who view my Flickr but every so often I just seem to think that I have very few followers when that is not the case, think it could be a case of jealousy as all day I've been seeing Marcus' photo which made it onto Explore popping up on my activity page and I am thinking it is good that he got a photo on there but at the same time I am thinking "why can't I get a photo on Explore, all the effort I put into my Flickr and I feel like I am getting nowhere and I am wasting my time" I don't know why I am thinking this and I am hating myself for thinking this.

Think this could possibly stem back to when I was in school as I wasn't that popular so no-one payed that much attention to me and then when I did things at school such as sporting events everyone else would get praise and it was like I wasn't even there and it just made my existence feel pointless and wondered why I even bothered trying to do anything, even people who did things worse than me would get showered with praise and I would just be sat feeling neglected, seriously I often felt like I was invisible to everyone at school.

I am zero idea why I sometimes get like this and it makes me hate myself for thinking this.

Sorry if am boring you all with my crazy down feelings or you disagree with what I said and please don't think I am up my arse for wanting more people to view my Flickr and wanting a photo on Explore.

Honestly I am grateful for all the followers I have on Flickr and that people view it.

I quite enjoy looking at your photos, Jimmi. I wouldn't be following you otherwise.  A lot of people get loads of faves/comments, simply because they're following hundreds or thousands of people, who in turn follow back. 

Not entirely sure of the criteria to get on Explore, but I think I managed it once with a photo of 5347. Complete randomness, but ended up with 18k views and 86 faves from randoms. 

Just keep doing what you do. Get yourself out there and try different places for photos. If you're stuck for ideas, then I'm sure other members of NEB will come up with some suggestions for you? A few of us in the past have spoken of using Google Maps to find places on routes for shots, and www.suncalc.net (that Dan suggested once) also comes in handy for working out the best time to be somewhere. 

The other alternative is to catch up with others from NEB when you're out and about? I know you live a lot further south than others, so it may help you heading out with someone who knows places, in say Tyneside for example, a lot better than you maybe do?
