Oh poo, why did I post StreetLite?? - i meant ALX400 haha

(18 Jan 2015, 6:27 pm)Tommy1581 wrote Fozz - what would a StreetLite be like???

Somewhere between a Yellow Olympian and an Omnicity, not the best looking, if you aint pulled, you would take her home for a nightcap...

I was once nearly caught shagging a StreetLite by the PSNI in Belfast in 2008(a woman, not a hole on a bus) lmfao

Not sure what an ALX400 is, as bus makes is not my strongest subject

Fozz - fresh from Ballymena was she???

With the way the conversation is going it's slightly amusing that I chose a photo of one heading to Cockfield.

Jimmi - Urban90 land in there!!!

These don't have Urban90 seats, don't ask me what the seats are called but its the ones most Stagecoach buses have.

Well...An average looking woman, does not have Page 3 looks, the kind of girl you would take home for a nightcap and possibly get serious with...

Lets leave it at that now, am comparing every bus to a lass,, I sound weird enough as it is

4852 = babe.

Wow Marcus, you have it bad

Yup. The only girl at school who is attractive (to me) wouldn't give me the light of day so she was withdrawn from service and scrapped.

4852's 7 year battle with the Lime routes broke me.

I hope you grow up to be the bus version of this guy

This man has had sex with over 700 cars yes you heard correctly

700 cars...wow.

Maybe when I'm working for GNE in my twenties, when I'm at my peak , I might visit one or two depots to dish out some 'maintenance'...

Speaking of having sex with them, a running joke people have with me at school is that I want to have sex with buses. You read that right.

I'm out with my friends at lunchtime, an Angel flies by on its way to Durham; 'So Marcus, what would you do to that one?'

MarcTheA4 - Well, it's not as bad as being called a "Bus Wanker" is it?
I've also been called a paedo for taking photos of buses, been followed by people who must have been on the top deck of a Lowlander saying "Beep beep, vroom vroom" over and over again whilst following me from town centre to a Premier store, when I tricked them into going into the Premier store when i stopped under a CCTV camera, then when they got into the Premier store, I bolted it back to my house! So, there you have it, don't take photos in Ashington, or you'll be called a paedo, even though I'm 13.

sorry for the smiley, I have not that term for years...When I was a teenager, a common insult was Bus Bummer or Bus Botter(a play on Bus Spotter)...

When I was a nipper I was sometimes called timetable or leaflet

MrFozz - well the people who called me that, followed me around on an almost daily basis. I always stuck to walking along paths that were well lit and had CCTV. It was like they lived nearby, spying, knowing my every movement, they've even stood at the back of my house shouting "Bus Wankaaaa", it continued until they started playing football in the street. Of which then me and my mam were stood at the door staring at them, the neighbour offered to call the police (which took about 45 minutes), they sent for their mother to come and rant at my mam, of which then their mother relised it was her sons that were causing the trouble and dragged them back to their house, the younger one (about 14, drunk and on drugs) came back to apologise of which then the police arrived to sort it out, I believe that they were given an order to stay away from my street. It's recently started again, (and also with a black eye which I got from an unknown person on Boxing Day) resulted to me travelling via bus to tuition and to the shops to avoid the bastards.
