I find it quite relaxing actually!

Had to take off my hoodie at midnight because it was that wet - was making me cold and weighing me down. Weather was alright from then onwards.

(23 Aug 2015, 1:15 pm)Dan wrote I walked 15,000 steps from 18:30 (when citaro5284 picked me up) to 03:30 and half of that was in a thunder storm - you're getting no pity from me..! Given that I'd woken up early doors the day before, I was up for a good 20-21 hours before actually getting three hours sleep.
I too was constantly on my feet - climbing on and off buses and up and down stairs on 16 Fab56 Volvo B9s to check Next Stop Announcement screens and audio volume at midnight was perhaps the most difficult part!

The one that really annoys me is when I get asked stuff like "what time is the last 56 from Ferryhill?" how am I supposed to know that? so I'm left to viewing the timetable to get the answer to their question, why they couldn't do that is beyond me. Someone also got annoyed because I didn't know what times the train runs, although in my defence they gave me no idea of what sort of time they'd like to travel so I couldn't be bothered finding the timetable online then reading out the whole bleeding thing.Does not bother me, as I know the buses around here...
Anyone else get annoyed by this at times?

What does annoy me is when people who dont talk to me from one week to the next ask me to find bus times for them, I do it because the being the person I am I find it hard to tell people to 'fuck off'
One request made me laugh one day, lady asked the driver what time a bus came and where from, bus driver said 'I dont know, why dont you ask him' pointing to me [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
