RE: Whats made you happy today?
Marc. Love turns up when you least expect it. When 2015 started, I didn't expect to be in a relationship. Then I gotten to know a person that I met before Christmas as a friend, and I got to know them a bit better, then 2 weeks into 2015 we ended up as a couple. And to be honest, I wouldn't change it for the world.

That's the nicest thing said about that place - ever  Wink

What trains did you see? TBH I really need to get taking photos of the trains passing through Ashington haha
RE: Whats made you happy today?
Saw...

6N93 - Tyne Dock to Lynemouth
4N85 - Lynemouth to Tyne Dock.

Was also hoping to see 6N06 - North Blyth to Widdrington but that was cancelled. However the train used for the service was still at North Blyth when I went to have a look.

Here is the list of trains that passed Bedlington North Box today - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/a...00?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt

Aye, now that SR is in service, either ON02 or E3 is parked up in the depot. Starting to doubt whether any more are coming to the company...

I know, hopefully I can find someone else.

Hopefully we are starting to get through to you Wink

I hope you find someone soon, but at your age, it should be the least of your worries...When it happens, you won't know what hit you(I mean that in a positive way)...

There is a somebody for everybody...For some lucky people there is more than one somebody Big Grin

Spoke to my Head of Year today about it, just how I was feeling a bit down, etc., and he said something like:

''Marcus, you've looked up to Rosie for all this time now, she's been up there in the sky and you've been down here on the ground, and just as you were beginning to climb up to her, some clouds got in the way (aka - the Year 10 boyfriend). So, if those clouds have come from somewhere else, that means there's somebody else up there for you who has just been made clear from the clouds.''

Hopefully there is something around the corner...Wink

I can remember when I was in Care, I used to ring Radio Phone-In Shows, mostly TFM and Metro Radio...One night I phoned Tom's Talk In on TFM(Think the DJ was Tom Davies), I was talking about being in Care, Depression and Feeling Suicidal and my lack of a love life. When I was 15 my nickname was Chunk/Chunky and Tom Davies said to me something like

'Dont top yourself, there is someone out there who will miss out on her Mr Right because you chose to take your life...There is someone out for you son, one day you could be skipping through a corn field and the future Mrs Chunk will just appear out kf nowhere, have faith in yourself kid'

Where the hell a cornfield came from I dont know Big Grin

I remember hanging around on Station Road in Murton waiting to spot the Wear Buses Livery for the first time...Two Tone Green and Grey, stood for about 90 minutes till I seen it on an Optare Metrorider IIRC

Yeah, if my memory serves me right VFM was first in the blue colours for South Shields Depot.

Use to quite like the slogans that were used at the time.  VFM - Value for Money, Coastline - The Driving Force of North Tyneside, Wear Buses - Making it On Wearside (might be wrong on that one), and Go Ahead Gateshead - In Pursuit of Excellence 

Wasn't there "Running For You" too?

All sound like great advertising slogans...shame you don't see things like that these days!  Sad

Something to look forward to then! 

I've got my 10 year one in about 18 months time, but I have absolutely no idea what it is. I'm pretty sure ours are every 10 years until 50, at which point I think they assume you're either retired or dead...
