Myles Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Due to the firework display from my front brake pads earlier this week, I'm going to have to take a bus to the golf course in about an hour. Any advice on how to work them? Last time I tried, I failed to see where the ticket came out (about 3 bl**dy feet down the bus) and spent the entire journey worried about being nicked for incompetence and lack of a valid ticket... I *think* the one I want terminates at my intended destination - removes the worry about getting off... but oooh, crikey, this is scarey stuff ☹️ Reminds me of an incident in Italy on an interrail trip - the buses did contra-rotating circular routes - and I got on one going the wrong way. Ended up at the top of a mountain, late at night, only person on the bus, 40+kms from where I wanted to be, unable to converse with the driver and with a travelling partner going spare back at the youth hostel waiting for me to arrive with local currency... Do they teach this kind of thing in schools these days? Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asker of daft questions Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I think you'll find it's a large vehicle full of smelly ordinary people, don't do it or you may be thrown out of your golf club Mrs Hooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asker of daft questions Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 David 1st you don't play golf 2nd you might smell, well at least I know that the inside of your head is clean & odour free Mrs Hooper Love & Kisses to Emma (but not in the biblical sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 I doubt I'll get thrown out of the club - it's a municipal course for dirty, smelly, common people... Big thing full of smelly people. Right, no time left, stiff-upper lip etc. Must remember not to start babbling in German or similar... Deep breath... It's been fun etc...

Tam Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Myles - must say you're being very brave about it I did hear somewhere that one has to put ones arm out to attract the bus pilot's attention - do be careful, it could ruin your swing for ever if you timed it wrong 😳 Hoopy - you mean you undertstand the London buses I'm very impressed Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby dooby doo Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 i do understand london buses. the knack is to understand where everything that's important is in london. then get on a bus that says its going to important things that you know are near to where you want to be ❗ nan nen nu no nere nu nare nanks ❗ HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewenm Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 London buses are easy now they've got those underground-style maps at the stops. It's rural ones that are hard - never any indication of where the the bus goes or where it stops 69500 miles and counting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Tam, Difficult to believe you are still only at the anorak stage. Just goes to show that the world of pension law can't be that boring after all 😬. The world of Ductwork manufacture, on the other hand...................... 🙆🏻 It's nearly 4 o/c I've been t' pub and I can't wait to get home to enjoy this scorching weekend we've been promised Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
