Given all the attention to 911 I wondered if there was a bus route 911?......would be great to see some pics, or perhaps trams... :D :D :D

Is there a law against disinterring threads that are peacefully dead and buried?

 ;) ;D ;D :D

Is there a longer one.....? and I find it interesting having driven buses and trucks some years ago, and still hold the appropriate licence to do so now.... :P :P

Things were quite sophisticated at one time. 8-) :y

The vehicles were christened “Gay Hostess” by the company and their turn of speed and air-suspension, allied with hostess service and toilet facility, provided the pinnacle of comfortable inter-city travel for 50 people.

Mind you, I'm told that gay hostesses aren't all they're cracked up to be. :-? :y
