Perhaps, but saying unkind would assume mal-intention or anything but light-hearted messing on. Out of context I guess it can come out that way, but out of the few people I know on here personally - nk55 would be the most knowledgeable. The intention to only respond to the joking culture thrown onto me by the aforementioned people. I can however see this makes no sense without this context, and I gather therefore that it is not appropriate for the forum. Doing stuff out of boredom is also likely to add problems to the list.

Not the best of weeks, so far. Dropped my phone again, yesterday. Screen protector protect d the screen but it has a small crack in the case, now.

My back went into spasm helping littlun to get dressed, this morning. Broke my walking stick trying to fold it up to put in my backpack. Feeling very delicate.

I've told husband it's fish and chips for tea because I can't be bobbing around making 3 different meals. 

He seems to have forgotten. If I'm not online tomorrow I've been done for murder.

Not annoyed but upset.

Found out recently a cousin of mine died at the age of 40 I never seen him and had not seen him for at least 30 years.

He fell down stairs while drunk and broke his neck supposedly and is survived by his Wife, 3 Children and 3 and Grandchildren

I find myself grieving for a person I dont know.

Guess the moral of the story, value the family you have, even if you rarely see them

Flickr is on the blink, trying to upload some photos I got today and it won’t load, have tried on my iPhone, iPad and Mac and won’t work on any of them.

That's your problem - all apple rubbish 

Flickr has been down for quite a lot of today for UK.

They’ve put an update on Twitter a few minutes ago.

I'm ill on my birthday, and flickr being broken is annoying me. Especially when I upload 170 photos of demo buses used by Go North East in 2006/2007.

It was working for a while but is broken again

Waited half an hour for the 20 minute late X1 and the bloody driver has tried to argue that bigun is too young for a young person's day ticket.

I might have been a bit snippy with him.

Do we have a wannabe Revenue Protections Officer working as a driver?

He did suggest that I go talk to the inspector, outside. I made it very clear that I'd had to wait quite long enough and wasn't going to miss my bus because he disagreed with every other driver in the region about the validity of the ticket.

Trick or treat?

Too young for a young person's day ticket?!

Seem to be having some BusLoverMum style issues with the Arriva Live Map this morning, it claimed that the 5 I was intending to catch to Darlington was 24 minutes late, based on this info, I opted to catch the train instead, of course it flew past the train station bang on-time!

Aye. He asked for his pass and was convinced that it was still the old rules. From the clear as mud blurb on the website, it looks like you still need student id for the 15 week ticket but the daily and weekly tickets are open to all.

Next I need to find out when we come under Durham District because he's off school next week but I still need to take littlun in.

Ah, useful. Could save a fair bit, over the next few weeks.

Was waiting for the other half to arrive at Hexham Bus Station today and saw 5301 parked in the layover bays so I was gonna get a photo of it as haven’t got one of it since it’s been repainted, but then a driver comes along and gets on it just as I’m about to take a photo and my social anxiety kicks in which I get on a regular basis so gonna have to wait for another time to get it, plus the bus Station was busy which didn’t help the situation

Just been showered by a seagull. Not impressed. Bigun learnt some new words and a couple of old ladies clutched their pearls at my reaction.

Hahha sorry for laughing but clutching there pearls

Christmas shopping.

Wandering around Boots with a number of people wanting to look in the same small space as you is quite literally my idea of hell.

Shopping online is the way to go.

Not even thinking about Christmas shopping, yet. We'll be in our new house in 2 weeks and it'll have it's roof off in 3. Then carpet for all the bedrooms... Might just give everyone a satsuma.

Just pleased I've pretty much finished my Christmas shopping now, just got to pick a few more things for myself and then all that's over with.

My experience of the Lincoln Rally was spoilt by heavy traffic, and also getting annoyed by another spotter who seems to have lost the plot and was flicking the Vs at cars that got in the way of his photo, make strange noises at people who got in his way of his photos, yet he was getting in the way of other people including myself, my and my friend both at some point had to resist the urge to react to him.

Really not having much luck getting through Durham, lately.  After Saturday's breakdown and bigun's subsequent panic attack, we're crawling through whinney hill on the 6 because of this
