4 letters that have made my year... SSTC! The bear may own his cave before his birthday...

@Colchesterviews @yourcolchester @communitydk1953 As a bus/coach driver, I still exercise my right to use my NSR wheel.
If that right isnt real, I dont care.
These people have no rights to your personal information.

Piss freely, ignore their requests for information and drive off.

@sainsburys Taste The Difference Pork Sausage x10 with today's date on for tonight's tea, absolutely rancid. Opened this morning, kept in the fridge from day of purchase... normally these are top quality. Anything you can do?

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

Thanks to @PeterboroughCC for making no provisions for coach parking during one of the busiest weekends of the year for rail replacement services, I had to make my own arrangements.
Ended a great weekend on Peterborough to Ipswich, 4 hours of mostly beautiful countryside!

@Mattisamazing33 Cheques are part of my life still, although most banks allow them to be paid in by mobile app, so I only use it to piss the council and water board off.

@TheBlueBeatRoom @greateranglia Redbridge at gridlock as the flyover on the A406 was closed.
Buses were dispatched from Newb Park but not reaching Ingatestone. Once the standby buses were used, no arrivals = no return coaches.

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

The guy who bought this is local to me, saw it parked up and had to spin the bus around to have a quick chat with him...

We now have TWO Yugo motor cars in the town, the other being a Yugo 55.

No pictures because it felt rude. 🤣

@sarahwoods455 @greateranglia Gallows Corner isnt open to non TFL traffic. I tried using the A12 earlier, and cutting through Collier Row, and it was a nightmare due to all the locals doing the same. The M11 is the only way to do it, or getting mixed up with going through Romford cente.

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@greateranglia I understand entirely - the road closure makes it difficult, just an FYI. :)

Hopefully School Road will reopen before the next blockade. ✌️

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@RedReflections_ @greateranglia The bus turnaround circle was blocked with @networkrail track staff dumping their cars there to avoid parking fines, so buses coming in couldn't turn around. A quick word with the supervisor on site sorted it, not before it screwed passengers over.

I dont want to say I've just picked up a 2007 Optare Solo Slimline that drives like a Rolls Royce, but I have.

I possess a hatred for Solo models, but when they're on point, they're on point. *chefs kiss*

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

Cannot believe that we've been called out for 18 hours of emergency rail cover, after Storm Goretti has passed. There's a gentle breeze and a bit of rain here, surely this is overkill and a case of closing the door after the horse has bolted? 🤣

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@adrianfclarke I genuinely didnt know these came as a 4 speed... exceptionally tight behaviour from Ford there. 😂 lovely looker though.

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@OCDaboutCars My old Frontera (325gkm ~) was a lot less than this, but registered 28/02/2004... to penalise cars at this age is just done to encourage buying white goods cars, rather than making do with that we've got.

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@greateranglia You'll be lucky, the 103 hasnt run for ages. It was cancelled in the latest round of cuts. 😂

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@Joshlander31911 @MikeyCycling Road tax as it was may have been removed in 1937, but the DVLA refer to it as road tax still, and its a tax that you have to pay (emissions dependent between 2001 & 2020) to use the roads.
Therefore by definition, it is a road tax, as you dont pay if you dont use public roads.

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@munchcorp @GitGrumpygit @ListerLawrence I disagree, to a point.

I've used Rotalla on a 1.2 Corsa, and have Rovelo fitted to my Vitara, both being very low power and not driven hard, see those as perfectly acceptable.

The Volvo gets mid-range all seasons, due to distances travelled etc.

Price difference, £400/set

[Bear The Bus Driver @bear_pause]

@ListerLawrence It really frustrates me that my brand new Sony that I fitted into the Frontera a few years ago still beeps at you three times upon turning the ignition off, to remind you to remove the fascia.

NUI looking pretty in Norfolk this morning... 90 minutes from our Essex yard to Watton, not bad going! Ask me why I love night driving...
