As I was cycling up dunston bank people were driving past and cheering me on. Even old people were, which surprised me.

Newcastle is a nightmare to drive round even for experienced drivers who aren't from around the area.

How can someone sink to such a low life and there mate too, to actually take the p*ss out of another ( considerably younger ) enthusiast ( not me if your wondering ) who is only new to the scene just because they claim to know everything....
enthusiasts these days!...

This hobby can sometimes to bring out the worst in people, I've been keeping quiet on all forms of social media the last few days as I've just not wanted to actively be a part of the hobby.

Don't think its possible to get away from disputes in this hobby, I find it as if everyone's in a competition against eachother!
I'll admit I don't like untrue news/stories being spread about, But I certainly don't go and gang up on another person with a mate just because there wrong, All in all id just happily correct them.
When I first started the hobby ( forum etc ) I didn't have a account for my Bus Stuff on Facebook, But it's since ive created one that ive started to see the dark side of the hobby, The constant negativity is depressing.
Tbh I even had to make a new one recently due to my old one being hacked by another enthusiast.

Probably because you are only really on here and Flickr as a enthusiast, the worst activity tends to be through Facebook, mind I have a fair few enthusiasts on my Facebook plus I often post on Facebook. Bus Enthusiast Groups and I have had very little bother, about the worst I had was over that offending A-line Coaches photo that people demanded that I remove from a group due to the trouble it could cause: https://flic.kr/p/Mjy8g3
Really, if you don't go looking for arguments and be a bit careful about who you socialise with, you should be fine.

Not just today but for 2 days now I've been annoying someone by speaking a different language to them

Old man came up to me and told me I was "taking pictures of people on the bus". I responded with "what..?" and a few of the other passengers started laughing out of confusion with his remark, too.
Mind, he was quick to waddle off the bus with a face full of embaressment!

Nexus donkeys. Had a station manager approach me to tell me not to take pictures in the interchange. I told him where this policy existed online or in paper written form for public viewing. He said he didn't know, but it'd be somewhere. He eventually stormed off to his station managers (still nexus), who tried to approach me with the same nonsense. They said the otherside of the red fence was council land, which brought me to asking about the fact that Nexus is a council subsidy and that many FOI requests have been publically held (I showed them some) online revealing that no such policy existed. The station managers went to get their supervisor, who turned up asking what bus I wanted from Stand V. I said X36 and he walked off. All 6 station-related nexus donkeys stood over near Greggs in a line all staring me out.
It's just a shame I didn't even take any pictures!

Conversation with my old (in all senses) friend, tonight. Absolutely convinced that omincities are step entrance!
I need to find one and takes some pics. He loves riding those buses and even though his bashing days are largely over ( he had a full psv license), has been known to take a ride on the GNE 50 simply for the ride!

He did comment about it visiting places he didn't even know existed!
I can't say I've ever done it in its entirety. Have done the full 20 and vowed never again, mind!

Another classic X21 window argument yesterday.
2 people came upstairs and all the windows were open. They started closing them as they walked to the very back seats. Most people reopened them straight away as it was very hot however the 2 that were closing them decided to argue with the person in front and told him to close it again. He said no as it was hot and then they told him to close it because of the rain. (It had been raining 20 minutes earlier but by this time it was blue skies.) He replied with something like its not even raining and you dont need to have that attitude. The 2 then started walking down the bus while it was moving and sat opposite me on the table. My window was open and I just stared at them, luckily they did not try and close it. They then moved to the front seats and were complaining the entire journey about the breeze coming in.

Never experienced anything as argumentative, however people like that really need to stop travelling by bus if they think it is their vehicle alone.
By all means go and open/shut windows once you've sat for a few minutes - not just when you've got on; your body temperature is bound to be still adjusting.

Had that a few weeks ago when coming back from Middlesbrough 500 Group Running Day on the X12, some woman got on at Coxhoe and shut the window so we reopened it as it was hot and she started arguing about it and complained to the driver and moaning to other passengers all the way to Durham as I said politely that wanted it open as was hot and wouldn't have any of it, stupid idiot.
