    Hi all, have turned into a lurker as you all talk so fast that I am always behind and too late to comment, also I became a grandmother last week but it was a bit touch and go, although things are looking up now, and she is the prettiest thing!
    Hope to get them home soon so that we can all celebrate, it seems rough having to wait but at least there is a happy ending.

    Congratulations.:beer:

    My hubby was a bus driver for several years and you are right it is not as easy as it would seem. He was assaulted once by a man who was squirting people on the bus with washing up liquid, he made the mistake of getting out of the drivers cab and asking the person to leave the bus. He was knocked to the ground and hit his head quite badly despite being a big fella who can handle himself, and it really shook him up.

    Also don't forget some tesco trouts won't drive and its the poor bus drivers who have to take them to work.:D

    Reminds me of the following joke
    European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

    As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

    The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

    Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

    Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

    By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl.

    Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

    Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

    If zis mad you smil, pleas pas it on to oza pepl

  • Bus home is 40 minutes late, normal service has resumed.

    I understand it's not easy, especially in Aberdeen where the traffic is too much for the shi tty road layout. What does take the !!!! is when you go to get a bus somewhere, wait ages, then when it does come you find out its going off service early, and that happens a lot in Aberdeen, and that's if the bus turns up at all!
