The heat on GNE's 5325. Boiling hot - it's made this bus journey so enjoyable.

Shame Arriva's 4652 on the 21A the other day was the exact opposite, it was warmer outside!

Paid a trip up to my grandad's estate in Pelton, and bumped into one of his old friends.

He had just gotten off the bus, and I realised who he was. We stood and chatted for quite a few minutes, it was nice talking to him after so long - made my day!

I submitted by gas and electric readings online and it then said my monthly payments are going to decrease.

Thank you EDF!

Did you just do the one reading? Or are you doing them every month or something?

Normally do them every 3 months, but keep forgetting.  Last one I sent in was back in July.  First time it has actually worked out my bill and gave me my new payment straight away, in the past it has been up to 2 days after I have submitted the readings.

Just got to get my dad some CDS and then I've finished my Christmas shopping

This is a good thing as I hate Christmas shopping.

Havent even started mine yet, probs be a last minute thing for me this year.

Does Christmas shopping for myself count as having started?

sure does...of course, I like to go to the Boxing Day sales and have fun then.  Went into Currys last year (just for a look you understand), and came out with a new Sony TV....

More than just my camera accompanied me to the Metrocentre last Boxing Day, and I'm sure it'll be the case again this year too!

It will be the usual with me on boxing day where I can't go anywhere as Arriva don't provide us with a bus service

Same here, just remind me not to buy any clothing, I bought a pair of Jeans out of Next last year and found the changing rooms were closed, so to ensure that they fitted and I didnt have make a return journey the next day, I went and tried them on in the Toilets near Debenhams, thankfully they fitted perfectly.

Same as me with living in Northumberland....good job I have a car

I've just checked out a few trailers and walkthroughs of the new Pokemon games! - Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; both basically Ruby and Sapphire from 2005(?).

I'm thinking about maybe adding one as a last minute addition to 'The List'!

You need to go Retro, I still have my Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Red and Silver all in fully working order, still play on it even now and again.

Successfully launching my own Arriva Enthusiasts group on Facebook with the help of some friends  Hopefully it will continue to grow

Just got an email from the railcard team, with a £10 discount code off a Family & Friends Railcard.

Ours expired in the summer when we were abroad and I just haven't got round to renewing it.
A £20 railcard is winging its way to us now!

Arriva North East: 1798 / SA52MYT by danielgrahamm, on Flickr

This bloke made my day, looking back at the photo when uploading. Flickr having no issues with uploading today was another contender for my 'happy' post!

Newcastle's win, coupled with the fact we're first on MOTD tonight, meaning I don't have to sit though all the 0-0 draws...

A lot of things made me happy today saw one of my good friends who I am close to and then when I got home I find out I have a new family member 2nd time in a month it has happned 1st on my dads side of the family and now my mams side of the family when it happned on Halloween I was partying with some of my mates when it happned to my dads side of the family and today I was in Bishop Auckland but when the kid was born I was on X21 (6024 had that twice today going there and coming back it is now my lucky bus) and that happned today on my mums side of the family now I feel like playing that Pharell Williams song Happy

I'm not a fit person, I'll be honest. But because I was bored, I decided to join some other lads I knew on some rowing machines in the hall at lunch.

I managed 1633 metres in 10 minutes. For me that's a milestone!

Fozz's FPF Hitler Rants Parody, absolutely classic!

How do the FPF respond to that?!

I didnt think it was that good to be honest, I was never good at comedy when i did drama, which is why I never put the link up myself...

Was bored and messing about after loads of Downfall parodies

Personally, Downfall is one of my favourite movies!

Came in very handy while learning German in Years 7/8. My only problem with the language is it feels too serious and business-like. The Downfall parodies are just superb, though!

In my opinion, German is too serious, French is too boring and common, and Spanish is my favourite because it feels so chilled-out and relaxing!

There is some good ones out there...

If anything big has gone down in history, Hitler has reacted to it in a very angry way
