I completely forgot about that when I was there earlier today...I wouldn't have minded a look at one.

Wasn't sure where to put this but, the new Citaro looks interesting...

Looks like my one year "Pro" Flickr account status is coming to an end now. Anyone know how I can keep my Pro status?

Self driving, maybe, but rubbish when it comes to telling passengers where it's going. Needs to lose the silly quiff.

August already.... this year is flying over!

12 days until the lakes though!

I was in Scarborough over the weekend again so we decided to go and have a look at this new Alpamare Water Park that had just opened. We just parked the car at Seamer Road and got the 64 into the Town Centre, looked around the shops, and then walked along to the North Bay and up to the park, making use of the new 222 Park and Ride that they had introduced to provide an alternative method of customer parking.

Anyway, to put it simply, I wouldn't pay to go myself. £19 for an adult for the first hour and then £2 per hour after (the hour is split into 2 so it is £1 per half hour) and other than the slides and wavepool, its just like any conventional swimming pool. I certainly don't think it is as good as it was made out to be.

Disgusting really - in broad daylight too. Hopefully somebody saw something.

Yes, though they might not be the best place for impartial advice.

Try Newcastle Central Library, 4th floor. They have a business and skills area. They have lots of resources available both electronic and paper based.

Amazing from Everton, Sunderland need to follow and match the 200k now.



My brothers friend started off the "There's only one Bradley Lowery" campaign along with the T-shirts which were seen at the match last night - http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/sunde...-1-8116823

Hopefully, i did hear a rumour that the club have donated but haven't released it to the public yet.

Following on from the brief mention of heritage liveries the other day, First Potteries unveiled this excellent effort today.

The angles of the livery remind me of the Expresslink livery, a heritage TTX B9TL would look awesome.
