Great idea. I can't think of any though. I'll get my thinking cap on.

Blimey this thread is compeltely out of control. I still think every company has really good, ok, and really crap employees, including bus companies. We should all try and remember that not all bus brivers are meanies. Beaver14uk when I read the beginning bit of your first post I was pleased that you'd come on here to stand up for yourself and other bus drivers but sadly your post took a turn for the worse. But... I don't blame you for being on the defensive because on earlier pages of the thread there had been a lot of comments about bus drivers having no brains. If I was a bus driver and read that I would be extremely pissed off. Please don't drive through East Dulwich and think we're all cocks and in return I won't get on a bus and assume you're a cock.

lovely story.

Wow. Who knew there were so many problems that could be solved by pants.

Oh ok I'll try again. It was a warm summers evening. I was wearing lyrca he was wearing a string vest. Our eyes met while i was doing a sit up on a silver ball. Someone sweaty had used the ball before me and I was so enraptured by his pectorals that I slipped off. The ball flew off and hit him in the eye. He dropped the weights he was lifting and broke his little toe. I rushed him to A&E where we got married within the hour. Still crap but at least i tried.

I am not a natural in the gym - I decided to be brave and attempt those sit up things on the swiss ball and it just sort of pinged out from under me incredibly fast. The weight lifter who had been interupted by the flying ball just stared at me and the ball while i got up run over and retrieved the ball and apolagised whilst my face turned to the colour of a post box. I then made my exit.

I used to go to the gym in wavelengths but it was about 4 years ago. It's very small and you could never get on any of the weight machines because they were always full of big people sat having a chat and looking intimidating. I had an unfortunate incident there when I fell off a swiss ball and it flew across the room and hit a weightlifter. The pool is small but quite good and the wave machine is fun when it's on. Never saw the flumes in action sadly. I did go to a few aquaaerobics sessions there and they were very good and entertaining. There was even one lady he used to wear a bin bag to cover up her hair. Greenwich pool is quite minging but the gym is ok.

I was shown a flat in Deptford (not a nice bit of Deptford either) that the Estate Agent said was in Greenwich. Me: Isn't this Deptford? Him: No this is definitely Greenwich. Me: Hmmn. So it's SE10 then? Him: It's SE8 Me: Yes I know i used to live around the corner and I hated it.

Link works now but all it's very short and all it says is that the TV was more than 10 years old.

I've just seen a headline on the BBC news site saying the fire was caused by a faulty TV. I would post the link but the link to the aerticle doesn't work on the beeb at the moment so I've only read the title. So sad.

Can we talk about Michael J Fox instead of Lenk please? Weegee, I think keep your cats in if you can, just to be safe.

Congratulations to the 2 +1 of you.

No my lurker comment wasn't aimed at you or anyone else on the forum. I'm also relatively new to the forum and East Dulwich, welcome. I was just adding to Loz's joke comment about staying indoors by saying the internet is also a potentially dangerous place - although i obviously failed. I think taking a photo can be effective. My mate has this sort of stalker and I happened to be with her one time when he appeared and commenced following her round lots of shops. I took a photo of him really obviously and he then left. She didn't see him for a few months (very unusual for him) but sadly he reappeared a couple of weeks ago. She also had a photo to show the police, which she did.

Do they really earn that much?! They should be tipping me not the other way round.

But what if you have a computer in the house that has access to... chat rooms with lurkers on!

Yes I have also experienced everything on your list but I also have a list of things nice bus drivers do. There are good ones, ok ones and crap ones just like in every other job. I think bringing back conductors would be a great help to drivers though. Bus driver rage is scary.

Hmmn

I was once on a bus with 2 big sacks of compost and lots of other crap and the bus came to it's last stop but I knew that the rest stop (can't remember proper name) was a bit further along so I asked if he'd let me get off there instead and he did no problem. A different bus driver also stopped at a stop that wasn't a designated stop for his route because i'd been an idiot and was daydreaming. They're not all meanies.

Nigel - I've never met but is obviously a completer toss pot. thebeard - never met, seems nice though. But not ALL south london bus drivers are a disgrace. There are some really lovely, happy and polite ones.

Hotel for visiting clowns

That is so offensive and not true. Of course they have brains and they definitely are not all disgusting. Bus drivers earn a decent living and they have to put up with a lot of crap (i know lots of jobs have crap involved). I try and avoid buses if at all possible because they're so unreliable and generally frustrating but there's no need to insult their intelligence. > You all make it quite clear that if you had any > BRAINS you wouldn?t be driving busses. > > DISGUSTING bunch the LOT of YOU!!!
