I think the 22 was also omitting Thornley for similar reasons (glad I don't live there anymore!)

I also recall some kids throwing stones at the bus while I was passing through Eldon on the 5/5A at least once a few years ago.

The app was still happy to take my order when I was walking along, and when I got there it was happy to take my payment. It was only after waiting at the door like a lemon that I was told it was closed, there were no signs or anything.
Now I have to wait god knows how long for customer services to get back to me so I can have my order refunded!

Its a bus, not a meal on wheels.

The worst part is there's no cup holders so you either have to yolo it and hope it doesn't fall over, or chug the drink before you start eating.

Its when its all the sauces or kebab or south freid chicken.
I tried to bring a almost cold cheesburger and he told me you better not eat that on here.

However as hot food goes I would really say any food which when prepared is hot and gives off a smell. Personally I think only food which doesn't have a strong smell should be eating on a bus.
Now, what they classify as 'hot' food is probably up for debate. Are they purely going off the current temperature of the food, or are they saying anything that was prepared hot isn't allowed?

I remember back when I had my Galaxy S4 having to change them because they were so annoying, but they're still the same.
Now I'm going to have to faff around finding something that's not as bad, I quite liked the default sounds on my OnePlus and LGs

No drops, no other damage. Just tech that's still young I think.
It's enough to keep me well away.

(18 Oct 2022, 6:25 pm)wibblejunior wrote My current phone is a Poco X3 Pro. I think I got it in June or July last year, so it's already lasted for over a year. You could probably buy three of these for the price of the latest Galaxy phone.
My previous two phones were both Sony Xperia XZ1. The first one lasted me just over a year before the camera broke, then the second one (which was originally my dad's) lasted me another year and a half before the battery finally gave up.
Then before that I had a Moto G4 which was originally my mum's, which I had for about a year and a half before I ended up losing it in some long grass.
In short, if you want a reliable phone, don't get a Samsung.
