Mind, I've just bought GTA V for PC, and I'm slowly losing the will to live with how long it's taking to install. Game is about 65GB in total - spread across seven disks.
Two down, five to go...
Oh dear, only problems with games like that, that's why i have GTA V on PS4...

Get yourself on Google, and you'll see which platform is better for running GTA V.

The release of GTA V actually got me thinking about buying an Xbox again. Sold mine a few years back, as I just wasn't using it and it was gathering dust.
Was watching videos on YouTube earlier of gameplay of The Lost and Damned. Thoroughly enjoyed that on Xbox.

Now to add to the negative red moods, the driver on the Stagecarriage 271 dropped me off in the set down bay at Low Grange Farm Tesco and I have zero clue where the bus stop for the 64A is so I have to go to the stop the main road the 22 stops at and sure enough I just missed it and to annoy me even more it was Sapphire 1570 too.
On a more personal note I currently need a pee but the signs in Tesco are confused as to which gender they are as they both look like men and I do not want to make the mistake of going into the wrong one.

It takes just as long to install on the PS4. Just wait for the updates that Rockstar issue every time you want to play it too mind.
I've never played GTA on the PC since Vice City, but it's always going to be the better platform. You have the luxury of changing hardware if something is causing a bottleneck. No such luck with a PS4 or Xbox One, although you'd expect the developers to optimise the game for those platforms - a luxury they don't have with the PC, due to the wide range of hardware available on the market.
Best thing about GTA on the PC though is the amount of mods available. I'm pretty sure you can get Arriva and Stagecoach liveries for the buses in game haha.

Bit extreme. You've probably just had cramp or something.

Passenger smoking on the 7
Think it may be an e-cigerrete but still something that isn't allowed on Arriva's buses.

Inform the driver. I was on a Blyth Commander a couple of months ago and informed the driver of some knob smoking an e-cig, posters appeared on buses days after urging passengers not to smoke and inform the driver if anyone is smoking.

The lack of tracking on at least 5 X21/22's, two of which will make up part of my commute today...
RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - LeeCalder - 30 Jun 2015
This driver I had on the 82 yesterday. It was the first journey from Birtley that Arriva have and he was atrocious! I'm sure I have whiplash.

Not knowing there was a diversion between the Toll Bar and Ryhope earlier on...Waited for the 238 at Ryhope Green, was pissed off when the bus turned right toward Ryhope Hospital instead of left to the Green...
I should have known...I totally forgot seeing an X7 dart past me at Ryhope Green...I am as thick as pig shit and numb as **** at times

I nearly got run over by a car as I couldn't see any cars behind at a junction as their was four or five cyclists on the footpath right behind me so the view behind was totally obscured and then when I got across the road one of them nearly went into the back of me giving me dirty looks as well.
I have a strong disliking to cyclists as I have had a few incidents with them recently both physically and verbally - one got really angry as I was walking down a narrow footpath and he came up behind me and started shouting at me telling me to get out of the way, I have a had a few arguments with them when they have tried to claim I'm in the wrong when it has been them who are in the wrong. I was recently knocked down to the grond in Darlington Town Centre as I was walking up Tubwell Row which is on a bit of a hill and a cyclist came thundering down like a bat out of hell and with the speed he was doing going downhill and had no control so ended up colliding with me knocking me to the ground, thankfully me and my camera were physically unharmed although I wanted to physically harm the pillock.
All these incidents now have me turning my head like I'm possessed everytime I have to walk anywhere as I now have the fear I am going to have one collide into me or one will be having a angry exchange of words with me and I already had problems thinking people are going to beat me up or shout at me etc. before these incidents happened.
I would like to point out in many of the incidents these people people have not being the cyclist's who you see wearing helmets, high viz and the shorts it's been people in normal clothing Hoodies, jeans and no helmets.
As I am not a cyclist I can't see things from their viewpoint and I am a bit of an arse about this sort of thing but in some of these cases I am having to think about my own safety even when there isn't any for miles thanks to these incidents it's left me slightly paranoid that I am going to have another incident which I really don't want to happen.
I really don't want to annoy anyone so for some of the comments I have made in regards to cyclists I apologise but some of my comments I feel are justified. I regret most of the things I post in this thread and wish I could control my outbursts on here and in other ways but I seem to struggle.

RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - idiot - 30 Jun 2015
Points taken. I'm a lycra helmet wearing one and even sometimes don't use shared footpaths if there busy! I average about 18 mph anyway so sometimes to fast for them... For example Seaburn and Roker during the summer hols. But there are a lot of idiots on bikes/walking/driving. I can say that as I'm a (red) man van!!!

I don't really worry about the lycra helmet wearing ones as they usually are alright and they tend use roads instead of footpaths and if they are on footpaths they will usually happily sit behind you until it is safe to pass and if I know there is one behind me I will try and quickly move for them to get past usually by walking on the grass providing it's been dry. It's the normal clothes wearing helmetless ones I worry about as you don't always know what they will do.
There are other idiots on footpaths and roads, I have nearly been run over by quad bikes, scooters and cars on footpaths!

Another selection of people I don't like.
Nearly had an OAP on a mobility scooter go into the back of me heading downhill at speed in Darlington Town Centre a while back. Was going round the town centre like he was a bleeding race car driver as he kept deliberately went downhill around Darlington Town Centre.
Also had one when I was in Blackpool last week who thought she could bully her way past people and would not stop for anybody and nearly ran me over as it was busy and it was hard enough moving around all the people as it was without her shoving her way down the pavement.
I disagree with them using footpaths as it's dangerous to pedestrians when they are driving them like idiots also aren't some of them registered for use on the road?

Had tickets to see The Vaccines in Blackpool in November however the date has been changed to December so they can support Mumford & Sons in Australia instead.
The big problem with this is that I have already booked accommodation for the gig and it's unlikely I can get a refund for this booking and this also leaves me with another problem, if I still want to see them I would have to pay AGAIN for the rearranged date.
Am not happy about this, to screw your own fans out of money to support bloody Mumford in another country is a total ****ing joke
There's always something goes wrong for me
