It's just this minute started to snow in Rowlands Gill.

Although I generally don't mind bad weather, it's a bit nuisance when it comes to work.

If it continues, it's going to be interesting driving up to Stanley for 3 o'clock.

I'm on the Red Kite heading up to Consett now - I'm hoping the snow is as good as BBC Weather suggest it is...

At the moment, it's no longer snowing and there are bright blue skies again.

It snowed for about a minute, the sky suddenly went dark, then the sun emerged again with a bright blue sky.

For all I know, I might be in Consett this afternoon. I don't mind snow in Consett as it's reasonably flat upon the plateau. Getting to Blackhill, Bridgehill, Benfieldside or Shotley Bridge may pose more of a problem though.

Was pretty much the same in Darlington when I was waiting for the X66.

Was annoyed as service 5 was late (as ever!) and I saw the X66 going round the Harrowgate Hill roundabout, so I had to wait 20 minutes in the cold.

Snowing in Stanley now.

Was gutted when, after 10 mins of being on the 689, it started snowing.

Only been showers though and it's sunny at the moment.

Yeah only showers in Middlesbrough too, I ended up snapping photos whilst the last shower was coming down - it was freezing!

Snowed for a bit at Longhirst. While I was waiting for the NMT.

I'm always getting mouth ulcers and they are always really big and cause great irritation and I always seem to get two at once to make it worse.

I used to get little niggly tongue ulcers if I bit into a piping hot greggs pasty...And also used to get ulcers from Meat Pies at Roker Park, SAFC pies were cooked in a Nuclear Reactor i think, lose ya tastebuds, they would heal ready to lose your taste again weeks later

Seeing my mam upset,

She works in a home with severely disabled people...

She found one of the service users dead about 4am...He died quickly, was checked at 3am and dead within an hour...

Awh no!

Must be awful to find somebody dead...I remember how upset my mam was when she found my grandad...she'd been doing something in the kitchen, the nurses were tending to him, turned her back for a moment and he'd gone...

(07 Jan 2015, 7:39 pm)ArrivaNE_7522 wrote It's silly Go North East charge 90p to go from Fifth Avenue (Ashington) to Ashington (Bus Station). When it costs 90p to go from Ashington to North Shields Ferry and for S1 single ticket...

Arriva charge 60p (£1.10 return) for my journey... but couldn't pay that because the f**king bus drove straight past.

Try paying £1.50(Single) from Lambton to Washington Galleries, now that is a bloody rip off.

Just had every single photo on my Flickr stream faved by 'Ryan the Bus Spotter'...except the one of the CLS war memorial.

Am I the only one who finds that a little disrespectful?

Indeed it is...

Something similar happened with my granddad, in hospital for a blood transfusion, got there about 1:45, I popped out for a crafty fag and call my mam at 2pm, The Old Man was dead before half 2 from an aneurysm...I was the only family member there waiting for my mam and dad to visit The Old Man...I have nevee felt so lonely and vulnerable in all my life

The same "Bus Spotter" who has a fleet of crappy "Europa" model buses and crappy paper bus nets too? And also crap photos?

If you think 8 favourites are bad try having 60 odd come through at once.

I wouldn't mind if he'd favourite all the photos when they are uploaded but when this happens I often miss what other people have uploaded and failed to spot anyone else favourites my photos because I sometimes check my homepage in a rush.

Probably didn't fave the war memorial because it isn't bus related, although I often have a few of the people I'm following upload stuff like that and I don't really pay much attention to it.

Anyway my annoyance right now is some impatient bastard practically shoved past me as I was trying to leave McDonalds earlier.

The wind is somehow affecting my Internet. Lost the charger for my Olympus SZ-14, that's the problem when there's THREE parts to make the charger! Lost two of them.

Happened to me all the time when I had a computer, I dont need a computer these days, my mobile contract includes all you can eat, unlimited data and 4G, so if they wifi signal drops out, I needn't worry

That i have to go to uni in the wind... should be fun!

Can't do Explorer today due to the wind... and the rain... and the cold... and can't be bothered to sit on an Enviro400 for 45 minutes going to Newcastle... and I'm ill... and everything else...

I wanted to go to Chester Le Street but I had to cancel due to the weather

Arriva's 1763 was nearly a fireball today because of some twat flicking has lighter on and off whilst having a fag in his mouth, must of been related to the retarded driver whom questioned me over being a child.

Bit harsh.

I don't think I've ever been questioned, been asked to show my key card once or twice (even though it did read on the reader).

I for one certainly don't mind paying an extra couple of pounds for a ride.

I couldn't pay more than the child fare on that trip because I only had £1.10 on me because I was collecting a pre-paid item. Also the driver should have been paying attention to the twat of a passenger as he was bouncing around the bus like I don't know what...

Well... Receiving a D in my mock A-Level Media Studies exam kicked things off well this morning!

It was followed by an English lesson, and I didn't get the paper back. Instead, I was told that I had to do the exam again for homework, with no explanation provided. She has been known to lose work in the past, so putting 2+2 together...

Got an A in my ICT exam though, so today wasn't too bad.

My sister's come in all upset because some bitch at school has been slagging her off...

God, she's only in Year 7 and she's mixing with some of the worst girls ever!

@Andreos - the girl is from Fencehouses!
