    Yeah, it is understandable, I was actually complementing you

    Re: Isnt this stealing?

    just noted on the news that a guy has failed in his claim for compo for slipping on a grape in supermarket carpark. bet he wishes someone had eaten it in the store without paying for it instead of dropping it...

    Understood. But as someone who writes for (part of) a living, I was explaining that I knew it was fairly crudely written ..... and why.

    Oh man, that would be sweet. My bus would always be late though, as I'd spend more time out of the cab dispensing justice with my two-handled baton than I would actually driving.

    "What's that? You're going to beat me up because I won't let you on without a ticket? <flips down visor> Let's have it, then!"

    "When I say turn off the music, I MEAN TURN OFF THE MUSIC PUNK! YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAY!"



    I've just finished 7 days of late shifts- I normally like doing lates but they've sent me a bit crazy this week. I only have another 16 shifts to do behind the wheel- I've been promoted, and I start training to be a Service Controller on the 7th April. I'm going from being Reg Varney to Blakey, if you will. I just hope I can get through it without getting beaten up, and without road raging someone.

    Re: Isnt this stealing?

    good on you. i'd be stuffed without bus drivers as i don't drive - they do a great job* & have to put up with all sorts of crap (milkshakes & the rest) i've never had a rogue bad'un. apart from the one who drove my school bus for 2 years & played fecking Abba every single day, there and back, and who i still get the occasional urge to hunt down.

    *edit:

    find this maybe a tad worrying...

    Re: Isnt this stealing?

    Well, I'm a borderline alcoholic and I never turned up for work pissed- don't really fancy a spell in prison. Edit: OCD makes no difference to how well you drive (well possibly in some very extreme cases, but not in mine); as for the ADHD, it stops me being good at office jobs because I get bored to tears, but there's always enough stimulation when I'm driving along to keep me properly focused. I had two minor accidents that were my fault in my first month of driving, and haven't had one in the 18 months since.
