Obviously too hot for you to handle!!

Damn the stupid 2GB card, no image file...? Which devil designed these stupid things?

The computer wants me to format the stupid thing now, to view my images?  Huh


RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - omnicity4659 - 04 May 2015

Can't find the other 8GB card which has my newer rail photos on. Nothing goes to plan.

Currently using Command Prompt to fix this problem, which is so slow.

Windows 7 is completely and utterly rubbish.

Aye. Windows '98 is the way forward like - possibly the best edition ever made!

You're using command prompt to fix a problem? It can only issue commands that a gui would normally do at the click of a button.

Try PowerShell. Endless fun. Smile

Not Windows 95 first edition? At least you could 'nuke' irritants over the net. [emoji14]

Driver on the X22 doesn't seem to know how to drive a StreetLite (5409).

Currently pressing every button and no luck sat on the stand at the MetroCentre.

Now probably going to miss the 7 in Durham [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]


RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - omnicity4659 - 04 May 2015

Please tell me that there wasnt DRS 37s passing through the Metrocentre too? Angry

I never really used Windows '95 much. I initially had Windows 3.11 then upgraded to Windows '98 SE upon purchasing a new PC. On the Windows-based systems I use, I always change the GUI skin to Windows '98/Windows Classic. Much like Leyland Olympians, that particular GUI represents the real Windows to me.

Cracking day... Until I got on StreetLite 5409 on the X22 which has now left 10 minutes late and now in traffic on the A1 so no doubt I will see the 7 leaving Durham Bus Station as the X22 arrives and have an hour to wait for the next one [emoji35]

Consider that on-time... The 1230 X22 arrival actually arrived at about 1310 earlier. Must have been some serious delays on the A1.

It arrived pretty much on-time but because of the issues in the MetroCentre it didn't leave until 1645 (10 minutes late!)

15 minutes from Chester Red Lion to Durham North Road and to run across the road into the bus station I have no chance, especially as we had to stop at the temporary lights on Chester Front Street.

If I miss my 7 I will be making a complaint as this shouldn't be happening.

But the driver must know how to drive it...he drove it there

Why? Yes the driver will have been type trained but the concept is still relatively new to them so will take some getting used to. The A1 delays won't help either.

I know that but we only managed to get going after some people in orange high viz jackets got in the cab to get it started again.

Timetable should be better suited to combat the time the service actually takes to do the journey as most times I do the X22 it arrives at the MetroCentre late and this was before the roadworks too.


We are also following the 21 now and we are in-front so we are picking up all the loads.

I missed the X21 by minutes earlier, because of some incompetent fool behind the counter at Subway who took their time, leaving me haveing to wait 25 minutes for the 1.

Does that mean that I have to make a compliant to Subway?

I don't believe that Subway's counter staff work to a timetable. Maybe you should make a complaint to yourself for bad time management? Wink
