Don't worry Jimmi, I feel that way about the hobby a lot of the time these days.

Honestly why the hell am I going walking round an industrial estate nowhere near me to get a photo of something that will be in passenger service soon, I honestly don't know why I do this to myself and I end up doing it and just think, why? Another problem I have right now is the Millburngate Bridge roadworks are horrendous so I am going to be home later than I thought and I can't stand being late for anything and I can't help but stress out about it when it really doesn't matter. These are the sort of things going round in my head all the time and it can totally kill me at times so little wonder why I get so wound up. |

Lost count of how many times I've ended up going somewhere and ended up wasting your time. One example was going on holiday to Berkshire in hope of getting on Newbury Buses MAN LionCity Decker. Turns out they withdrew it weeks beforehand, still got photos of it when I had a guided tour of the Reading Buses depot.

As if the afternoon couldn't get any worse, we have just come very close to being in an accident by some brain dead moron trying to overtake the 7 when a car was coming the other way.
The stress and the heating on the 7 has now leaving me feeling lightheaded and dizzy and I have the fear when I stand up I am going to fall to the ground which unfortunately happens to me sometimes. Boy it's fun being me. |

And this is what happened when I opened my bottle of Pepsi.
So now I have sticky hands and my jeans need to go in the wash and I am short on jeans at the moment and I am going out today. Oh and there's the fact that I looked like I've ****ed myself. God this really isn't my day, I wish a black hole could swallow me up right now! Thanks Poundland Eldon Square for not having carrier bags that you don't have to pay for. And the Tapatalk app isn't posting my replies. |

You could probably do with carrying around a rescue package. I always have a cereal bar and a bottle of water in my bag. Travelling around with an 11 year old can be handy, too, as he thinks nothing of opening a window, even when it ruins everyone's hair Picking up on your comment about the Milburngate roadworks, I'm just having to roll with it, as far as they're concerned. None of the buses that pass my house avoid them at any point on my route. The Arriva App is handy for keeping anxiety levels down, while waiting, but falls apart when you're waiting at the start of the route, or even in the middle of the route when the delays are big ones. There's been a couple of times I've been tracking a bus that it's claimed has passed me. Once it arrived 10 minutes after it was supposed to have come past and the other time it never materialised - probably missed the village out entirely to make up time. |

Why don't you start doing a bit more trainspotting, something different for a while, it would be a shame if you become disillusioned with buses and pack it in |

Problem with trainspotting for me is realistically I'd have to go to Darlington, Durham, Middlesbrough or Newcastle to do trainspotting so unlike buses it's not like I can do it on my doorstep like buses where in the last few weeks I have snapped a few odd workings on home turf which thankfully I usually get odd workings for my way via the Arriva Odd Workings thread. In Newton Aycliffe all we have is a Northern Rail service every 2 hours using Class 142's. I could do with finding a new hobby to do as well as the bus hobby but haven't found anything that would appeal to me. If anyone has some random suggestions please give me your suggestions. I keep meaning to scale the bus hobby back but I have a fair bit spare time on my hands and I can't sit in the house as I just get bored and just want to eat everything in the house. Also everytime I try not to participate in bus photography something intresting comes up, new buses, rare workings etc. and I can't just avoid it I will often end up finding myself out getting photos. |
