(12 Sep 2015, 12:51 pm)DanPicken I only got the Q1 because it was 5332 and we caused the gridlock.

In what way has 5332 caused a gridlock? Has it broken down?

(12 Sep 2015, 12:41 pm)MurdnunoC But it is The Express that's reporting this...

Don't really follow weather stories but are any other papers reporting this 'Shock Weather'?

The Express has about as much credibility as The Daily Sport.

Exactly. The Express are the only paper I've seen reporting this freak weather forecast, but one is enough for at least ten of my friends on Facebook to share it..!

It's nice to know that my brother "loves me". It's a shame that I can't say that back to him.

First of all, he had lost one of his cheap toy cars in my room. If I didn't find it by X, he'll hide my model buses. After hours of searching for the heap of plastic crap, he burst into my room and took them and hid them before I caught a glimpse of what he had took.

I found his car, behind the printer. I have it to him, just to be returned with an Arriva E400 with a mirror snapped off. Also, scratches in the paint of my Northumbria Minibus. "Sorry." IS THAT ALL I GET? YOU LOST YOUR STUPID CAR IN MY ROOM AND YOU BREAK THINGS WORTH £50?

Nice to know that you've been buying permanent markers to colour in the cars that i bought for you. And then wanting me to clean the things once you write "POLISES" on the side. 

Nice to know how the money that my mother doesn't have gets spent.

Oh, did I mention him swapping various items of my collection at his school? East Coast trains pen for a crappy "good condition" toy car and a Quaylink stress ball for a car that looks like it has been left outside for about 5 years. "oh sorry, I'll give you them for you to keep once of coloured in all the scratches."

You're lucky. Littl'un sometimes looks at big'un and even dares to point at him.

And I'm now getting tickled to death for mentioning that Cool

And, more seriously, it is possible to love someone even if you don't particularly like their actions.

A locked box might be a good idea for your most precious possessions. Our house is full of locks so that we can keep things safe from careless little hands.

It's often the way with brother's, they will often fight and break each others possessions. Although it wasn't like that for me, so I'm largely basing this option off Malcolm in the Middle.

To be fair Hot Wheels & Matchbox are not made of "Plastic Crap" and in fact made of Metal, yet are cheap at 99p, whey thats much they were when I was a kid anyway, saying that if they are plastic I think I know which ones they are as my Nephew has a load of them and are bloody dreadful.

As for Model Buses I wouldnt even think about letting my 4 Year Old Nephew play with them, as they would be left with no paint or wing mirrors on them after multiple crashes.

Never understood that one. Surely unless there's a diversion in place (or unsuitable vehicles on route), then Centrelink should be used?

It's what its there for. Was it built especially for the X66 or was it there a while prior? I know at the Metrocentre end there is one of those weight barrier things suggesting that it is bus only. I'm aware that other services use the road on a morning too (such as the TEN).
