I see the star ratings at the top of the forum, but from the Apple App Store.

Also, rather than sit at the desktop in the study glued to the chair, I can be walking the dog, watching TV in the living room or doing pretty much anything - I can find out what's going on with an immediate notification.
This is a post to completely waste approximately 3 seconds by making a vibration or a sound from your portable device with telecommunications, World Wide Web and of course Angry Birds.

As I don't subscribe to any threads, or need to know instantly when other members post things, Tapatalk is rather pointless for my needs.
I can see why some may rate the app though. Marcus even illustrates how it can help enthusiasts get pictures of buses which is a use I'd never previously considered. It's still not really the app for me however.

I understand that, for someone who doesn't take photos or get excited at the prospect of being able to photograph something rare (if it's a Riverside duty - maybe not so much, could be around half a dozen photos of that specific vehicle off-route
) - it isn't as useful.However, for me, who enjoys being able to join in with conversations and debates from the off of the first post, it's very useful. Even if it is confusing, constantly crashing and a bit irritating at 3am!

Been without Tapatalk all day and being viewing the forum via the browser on my phone and it has been a total pain, was essentially difficult trying to read whilst holding a drink in my other hand.
Hopefully I will resolve the issues before I head to Manchester tomorrow morning.

Another reason why it's just not for me. I enjoy my sleep too much.
Maybe it's a generational thing as I can remember when mobile communication devices weren't so invasive in our everyday lives, but I sometimes enjoy being isolated from my mobile phone. I can go for days sometimes without switching on my phone. I find it quite relaxing being uncontactable. Maybe I'm unique.

McDonalds Aycliffe employs a load of brain dead morons.
Seriously had to explain what regular meant, it's not small, it's not large, it's the medium sized one.
And we asked for two lots of fries and we only ended up with one.
This Coke is rank.
Also heard a female employee shouting for help from a man #independentwoman
The Milkshake machine was broken too.
What an utter crock of shit, this is appalling quite frankly.

I went to Dalton Park Maccy D's just before Christmas, woman had been served on the drive in and came in to complain about her plain Chicken Burger she asked for, she was served just a burger...
The daft kid thought a plain burger with nothing on meant that she did not want it in a bun and saying 'You asked for a burger with nothing and thats what I give you' that was quite funny

Can't believe how dim some McDonalds staff are.
Don't know whether to blame the staff or whoever trains the staff.
RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Adrian - 08 Mar 2015
Lets not forget that McDonalds staff are working for an absolute pittance, no job security, on zero hour contracts, and in some pretty poor conditions.

Random Fact: 1 in 10 adult American people have worked in McDonalds during their lives.

Wish I could say that!
Tried to download Tapatalk again and my shitty phone is having non of it, this phone is becoming a right pain in the arse now, it's slow, apps keep closing and various other things keep going wrong with it - it's pissing me right off now.

The fact that I'm at work all day Monday, much rather spend time with my partner, however not all bad, as once Monday is over, it is Tuesday and then I get to spend time with my partner (hooray).

Delays to the Metro system. Yet again, another Monday where I stand at a freezing cold platform, with no reason provided on Social Media by Metro.
The train is cold as well. At least it has the new voice for the announcements - not that I will be able to hear it as this train is now carrying two loads.

Once again Go North East is providing my National Express to Manchester and once again it's a manky old thing with not very comfortable seats.

Having one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong. It's currently 9:52 and I've already developed a horrible cough, I feel quite ill, I forgot my memory stick so can't do the work I came into the uni library to do, messed up the printing, tripped up the stairs, and tried to push open an automatic door so looked like a right plank when the doors opened.
Can I restart the day?

That's what dropbox is for.
Save it in there and on your stick - always covered then

Plaxton Panther 7093 I think.
Sitting on that for almost 3 hours was painful, all I could feel was metal.
Think I had 7092 last time I came to Manchester.

Those people who have all to pick up the phone and call you, but choose those few minutes when your busy having a No2, swear to god it happens all the time with me.
