What's annoying you today? V4
(09 Jul 2016, 6:42 pm)Jimmi I do have safety concerns but the thing that really irritates me is queuing for buses as people frequently queue badly, in the wrong places, leave gaps allowing people to queue jump and I REALLY HATE anyone who allows people to get on in front of them who haven't queued whilst those of who have queued ending up getting on the bus behind them which has resulted in me getting crap seats or standing and it's never one elderly person they do it for, it's always someone allowing about 10 college students on who all have to sit in 10 different places. I have been in numerous arguments with people in regards to queue jumping, some I have deserved to get but if you have been to Darlington getting on at some of the stands is a case of everyman for himself and I haven't got time for people dithering on when my bus comes, especially when I have loads of people behind me surging to get onto the same bus.

(09 Jul 2016, 6:48 pm)BusLoverMum The stands at the top of Tubwell Row are worst for that. We were all quite civilised, waiting for the X67, this morningStand H, which is the stand all the Aycliffe services leave from is by far the worst for people, stand L which is the 12/X66/X67 stand is usually the most civilised even when buses are dumped onto stands although some people at that stop need to mind their own business!

Had a few people accuse me of being a queue jumper whilst waiting for Durham bound 20's in Park Lane, even when in actual fact, the person making the accusations has done what they've accused me of doing, one old bloke kicked right off with me about it as well leaving him calling me worse than garbage and all us youths being the same although I should have reversed the argument claiming that all elderly people are the same and I have had several OAPs trying to queue jump me in various places recently, I know I should respect them but if they ain't going to respect me, sod 'em, if I see an elderly person who is struggling or they politely ask me, I will allow them on the bus before me but you ain't getting past me if you are ignorant, I think this is harsh but fair.

(09 Jul 2016, 8:02 pm)TEN 6083 That happened a couple of weeks ago when I was in Darlington waiting for a 7 to Durham at Tubwell Row. Was waiting in the queue under the shelter as it was raining and a few young lasses with buggies who weren't queuing just pushed in and got on the bus before anyone in the queue, think one tried to board when passengers were alighting as well.Sadly a common occurrence at that stop, nearly always a driver changeover occurs at that stop as well except for the Belmont 7 boards. Things are even worse at that stop since they changed the interworking patterns for the 5/5A, before the changes it did Bishop Auckland - Darlington then go back to Bishop Auckland as the 5/5A but most journeys now go onto the 1 or 12 during the daytime and the 3 on evenings and Sundays, so buses often appear on Tubwell Row displaying "Darlington 5" which then usually drop off somewhere on Tubwell Row (although on some occasions we've been dropped off round the corner on Prebend Row) but when it comes round showing "Darlington 5" people assume it's heading towards Bishop Auckland on the 5/5A when this is not the case, so you frequently get people chasing after it meaning they have left the stop leaving a void at the stop then quickly reappear and start moaning saying stuff like "why has he not gone on the 5" "why has he ****ed off somewhere" "why couldn't he put not in service on the screen" yada, yada, yada! Until the 5/5A to Bishop Auckland appears which runs off the 19 in the daytimes and the 3 on evenings and Sundays. It's really annoying.

Today's minor irritant that's annoying me is the Facebook app on my phone is saying I have one unread message on Messenger when I haven't.

A very sad day for me today...
My partner told me she was pregnant a couple of weeks ago after taking a home pregnancy test, she put a sample into the doctors last week.
Last Thursday night she started bleeding and peed a blood clot, we were still waiting for the results at that point.
She got a positive result back this morning and managed to get into see a Midwife or Doctor quickly because of the bleeding, only to be told the clot she passed was her Miscarrying.
Cant believe it, things start to to well, start to look up, and BANG I am brought back down to earth.
Not quite sure where my head is at the moment, I am in total shock, she was only about 6 weeks gone, it would have been my first biological child.
Anyway just got to pick myself up, give my girl the support she needs and find the way forward

Although pails into something not as major as previous posts.
Went to Heath Common rally yesterday and it was a utter waste of time. Half the vehicles didn't turn up, and there was large gaps in the timetable. I gave up and left at around 2pm and headed to the liquouce festival in Pontefract to photo the coaches there, then went to photo some trains before heading to a friends house in York for a few hours.
Here's hoping the Ruddington (Nottingham) running day is better next week (shouldn't be too hard), and I get some haulage on Atlantean ARC666T.
Made myself look foolish by trying to get on the 'wrong' bus, in my defence though it was the same service I wanted, heading to the same destination I wanted and was on the stand that is clearly marked as being the stand that the service in question leaves from, how was I to know that there was another bus on the next stand along especially when you can't see the front of the bus because of the height of the roof, any need to be sarky about this mistake I've made Stagecoach driver? Annoyed me even more as said bus has now overtaken the one I'm on as we have a pretty cautious new driver and this bus is FREEZING!!! *sighs*
The dark negative thoughts are trying to return in my mind.

Spent around a hour captioning photos for my next Flickr upload, was just about to start caption the last photo when all the plugs tripped in the house which mean my I lost all my work that I had just done. Wasn't best pleased, especially after the day I was having.
