(25 Aug 2015, 4:16 pm)aureolin wrote Your best bet is probably going to be Metro to Central, then the Stagecoach 22 to Scotswood Road, if you can't be bothered walking.

(25 Aug 2015, 4:29 pm)Michael wrote Could do, trying to sort out my pass now, going to get the network one pass so i can use both metro and bus, as its cheaper, £217 for a term as a student, isn't bad.

(25 Aug 2015, 5:13 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Honestly, it's easier to walk to Newcastle College from Central Station - it only takes about 5 minutes. You could spend longer than that waiting for a bus to come and, depending on which building you're in, you could still find yourself with a walk up the hill from where the bus drops you off.

Fucking hate my DR's

(27 Aug 2015, 11:29 am)MurdnunoC wrote Do they not release same day appointments every morning like most practices? 

I know with mine, you have to ring between 8 and 8:30 to secure an appointment! If you call around midday, the GP's are usually out on their rounds. Your enquiry is assumed to be either routine or non-emergency.

I must either have had my eff off face on or looked poor, because they didn't bother me, but they approached quite a few young looking people. Probably considered them to be easier targets.

I get left alone at home to look after our own dog and when I often get left alone with it the thing goes bloody crazy, it just lept at me. Seems like I am the only one watching it and I have to keep changing/dropping plans to suit everyone else so I can look after it and I am bloody sick of it!

Did you have any advance notice of this particular arrangement, or was it just sprung on you? From your earlier post, it sounds like you don't have much of a rapport with the dog and it doesn't appear to know its boundaries with you or you struggle to enforce them, so I can understand why you're not keen. Neither of the boys are at all keen on dogs with no manners (I recently replied to a woman with a bouncy little terrier which littl'un was cowering from with "well he doesn't much like dogs and it scares him when they jump up at him" when she was reassuring me that her particular precious bundle of bounce loved children and only wanted to play)
