Numpty of the day
Numpty of the day
Ages since we last had one but I feel this one is worthy of the title, although I have removed the persons name.
Lesson today is, make sure you fully read what someone has written before seemingly having a complete meltdown at what you've thought that you have read
Some silly driver decided to turn right on a bus only lane on Brunton Lane at Kingston Park when I was waiting to turn right into where Curry’s is and Iceland.

That’ll be myself, been to Carlisle today to see 45699 Galatea as well as Class 37s which will be withdrawn soon from the Cumbrian Coast Line. So I am recording 37401 leaving Carlisle Railway Station on my iPhone and go to take a photo but accidentally hit to stop recording instead of taking a photo, was not happy

What a tit.
If we had a 'tit of the day' thread, this would be going in there. As it is, numpty of the day will have to do.

Couple of passengers got on the X21 today at Chester-le-Street and looked like from what they said to the driver they were assuming the bus went through Birtley as they tried to get off after the bus left The Corals. The older one, a pensioner didn’t seem to get the message and kept getting up expecting it to stop with the driver explaining more than once the next stop is The Cannon.

Since they both say Newcastle on the front and the numbers are similar, I can see why some people can be confused and board it anyway assuming they go the same route. If not sure, the best thing to do is to ask the driver as I nearly made the mistake of boarding a 64 in Durham a couple of weeks ago which was going to Musgrave Gardens when I wanted to go to Tesco Extra and needed the Sherburn one. Luckily I asked as I assumed both 64s went the same route as I’m not really that familiar with Arriva’s routes as I rarely travel on Arriva buses.

This woman was saying she was going to do this, in the Hull Daily Mail, yesterday. No surprise that it backfired.

I wasn't sure where to post this as I'm not sure if the driver is a numpty or not.
Passed a Stockton based Enviro about an hour back on the A19.
It was NIS, but was displaying 'Merry Christmas' along with a couple of Christmas trees.
I appreciate it may have been selected by mistake, but if it wasn't... Its still October man.
The schools have just got harvest festival out of the way and we haven't even had Halloween or bonfire night yet!

If I'm remembering correctly, I've seen a bus at Quorum displaying 'Merry Christmas' back in September

There's a house in Ferryhill that already has their Christmas decorations up
It probably won't surprise any of you but I absolutely hate Christmas! All the 'jolly' music, movies with happy endings, having to spend money on other people, it all just makes me want to top myself!

I must admit the build up gets irritating to me at times, the shopping is utterly detestable especially with how much busier it can be, around December 20th is when I start to feel 'festive'
I kid you not there's a music channel on Sky that's been playing Christmas songs since the beginning of October, think there's a Christmas film channel somewhere too which has been going on even longer.
It's not just Christmas I hate, it's all these commercialised 'holidays', tonight I will make sure I have the gate locked and the lights off so I don't get people knocking at the door. I might even stick up a 'Vote Conservative' sign just to make sure!
I never feel festive, I mean last year we spent a few hours on Christmas Day at Washington Services Costa just to get away from some of family!
I hate shopping at the best of times, but hearing the same awful music over and over and over again makes it unbearable. That's another reason I like Aldi and LIDL, they don't play music in store!
