Barbecued turkey, tomorrow?
(It goes without saying to check that it doesn't need the timer setting or something silly - mine won't work if the clock isn't set)

(24 Dec 2015, 11:34 pm)mb134 As it's incredibly warm for this time of year, a barbecue may not have been a bad shout, especially after my 'Microwave the thing' suggestion was shot down
Think we're having it elsewhere now however

This is taking the fucking piss!
My iPod Shuffle has completely conked out, after fading out a song. No usual "Battery level low" announcements and when I plug it in to charge no lights come up and it doesn't connect to the laptop either.
I've quickly googled the problem and there was a problem between 2009-2012, but my iPod was new in 2013.

When Microwaves first came out, there was recipe books that told you how to do a lot more than warm up a greasy pasty.
Those recipes included a homemade, microwaved Christmas dinner!

Currently enjoying the novelty of the a1 western bypass not being nose to tail.
As expected, here's what really annoying me today... Being effectively cut off from the world for the whole of today as once again Arriva are stuck in the mindset that people don't want to go anywhere today, everyone wants to be at home with their families, the truth is, right now I don't, had Christmas dinner round my brothers house yesterday and because I have this curse where I struggle to talk to people, it was me sat bored receiving no attention whatsoever for five hours which ended up with being not only being bored but also a bit depressed. I am not the sort of person who can bare just sitting around doing nothing, I honestly can't even sit down and listen to music at home, I have to be pacing up and down the floor to make it feel like I am doing something, so you can only imagine how bored mental I am going to be today especially as my most of my Christmas presents will not keep me amused for the whole day, can't really get much enjoyment from looking at socks, no matter how bright and colourful they are! Unfortunately I haven't managed to sleep in until lunchtime and instead because my brain is a prick, I woke up at 08:30 today so the torture has now been extended by at least another two hours. Although I have DVDs to watch, they will only entertain me for so long. The thing that really irritates me about Arriva not running a service on Boxing Day is the fact that I know some of the members of this forum and also some of my friends from college have a service bus service today run by Go North East today, whereas if I want to leave Newton Aycliffe today, the only way of doing so would be to book a taxi and I don't know if any of you are aware of this, but on Boxing Day taxi companies can charge double the usual fare, my parents went to Tesco from my house on another bank holiday and it costed £6 odd just for a five minute journey! So I dread to think how much it would cost to go to Darlington and back today, you'd probably be paying something ridiculous like £30 for the pleasure of travelling today.
So once again, I am in for a long day of climbing up the walls because there is nothing to do but look at the socks I got for Christmas.
EDIT: Just remembered, my speakers broke after I came home on Christmas Eve, so I can only listen to music through my headphones.

(26 Dec 2015, 11:01 am)GX03 SVC Yep, apparently Arriva staff should have more time with their families according to an 'anti-GNE'....I still think Arriva are missing commercial opportunities, I am interested to see how the X21 does today, it would be incredibly embarrassing if the X21 carries decent passenger numbers, especially as Arriva's competing service is a so called 'premium quality' bus service. Still can't see how places the size of Darlington, Stockton and Middlesbrough can have no bus service whatsoever, not even a basic level service on some of the core routes.
Once GNE operate a frequent service between Ashington & Newcastle all year the better. Leaving places like Darlington, Newton Aycliffe, 'rural' County Durham (Esh Winning etc), Blyth, Morpeth, Ashington, Widdrington, Amble, Alnwick and Berwick, probably over 150,000 people without a bus service is ridiculous.
