Went out early this morning, quite dead.

Livened up a bit, but dropped too near home.

Got to go out later to pick up mini Sx, and might try to grab a bit then.

Proves my theory that T2 scares them off, even when it isnt T2

His mate gave him a lift home, but the lads said it was s*** personified.

Which isn't good. :-$

Meanwhile, lots of railway replacement bus driving for me this week. :) No punters about on Sunday 24th, day off today, let's see what Boxing Day will bring. I get paid regardless. 1 punter or 101, same price. Driving a nice £350,000 Volvo tomorrow. Full of rattles, just like all new buses.
