catching a bus
« on: 10 October 2016, 18:24:08 »

Had to catch a bus today, not used one in ages.

The bus driver was racing another bus, not ideal when they don't handle that well.


This is on top of being in a coach yesterday that made a mess of a fiat shitbox

Why are you sharing a bus with the great unwashed?

Surely you can find leggy bimbo with a sports car to ferry you about. :)

Used to catch a bus occasionally when I lived in Laahhhndon, wasn't too bad, but not great. I now use the train quite a lot and actually like it, as long as I can get where I need to be at the other end. Wales to Lahhndon much cheaper by train than driving.

I use buses reasonably frequently to get the satisfaction of use from free bus pass.

Use busses all the time if I'm having a beer.
Around these parts, £3:10  (Day Rover) gets you unlimited journeys around Hull and area between 06:00 and 23::30 anywhere.
With a bus stop a few hundred yards from my front door it's a no brainer  :y :y

If it was in the rush hour, he probably fancied mixing with the great unwashed ::)

Had my bus pass for ages now. Never used it. Occasionally I pluck up courage and get excited to use it.....then at the last moment I chicken out !!!!! ;D

What is this bus thing of which you speak? Nearest bus stop to me is about 5 miles away!

Don't worry. You're not missing much. It's a thing that takes you to the pub at approximately the same cost per mile as using a private jet, then stops running before closing time. ::)

I would think the last thing you would want to travel in after a session, would be a bus !!! :)
