(15 Apr 2015, 5:41 pm)Dan Ooh, happy birthday!
I wonder what the cash will be getting spent on...!
(15 Apr 2015, 6:41 pm)Adam You've just reminded me. I still need to do mine. Best get cracking now.
I had to reapply for mine, presumably on the basis I was continuing the course, rather than dropping out.
Needed to submit all sorts of info to them, such as course codes. Guessing this was all cross referenced at some point.
Mind, I have no faith at all in the SLC - so goodness knows.
They must have spent hundreds trying to claim back a £50 overpayment - which was down to their incompetence.
Now off work for next 7 days, then at work for one day, then off for another 3 days.
So tomorrow, I'm off for a carvery with my fella and one of our best pals, then afterwards we are heading to Locomotion.
(16 Apr 2015, 7:53 am)Adam Had my favourite driver on my X25 this morning. He always says "good morning" as you get on and "bye now" as you get off. He's been my driver a few times now and his friendliness never fails to put a smile on my face.As my mate always said to me, bus driving can be terrible at times, it is a thankless job amd you rarely hear praise for a driver, no matter how crap you feel or how miserable you are, it does not take much to force a smile. He would say dont let people see you down and be nice even if you dont mean it!!!!!
So, whoever the driver was on this morning's 08:17 X25 from Wrekenton to Newcastle, he needs praised!

(17 Apr 2015, 8:04 am)Adam Second day on the trot I've posted something in this thread. Goodness me....I remember one day at Westlea, I jumped off a 60, belted across the road in front of a 61, as soon as I stepped on the kerb, he shut the door and done one, but there has been days when I have ran for a bus and made sure the driver has seen me in his mirror and he has waited for me.
Anyway, another day, another tale about this morning's commute on the X25. I was running slightly late so opted to go to the bottom of my street to catch the X25 from there instead of walking to Wrekenton and getting that, or the X1, from there. Got to the bottom of my street and there's the X25 going past the stop, even though it was one or two minutes early. I was stuck on the other side of the road at the time so started running in the direction towards Wrekenton, putting my hand out at the same time. Happily the driver saw me, very kindly stopping at the next stop and waited for me to board
It was even worthy of a text to the Metro paper's Good Deed Feed, so it may appear next week.
