Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Like a ghost bus ... or a privately-run renegade bus.

That is really weird about the student. It's almost like you fell into a fold in time.

I used to catch the No.1 home from school in Henbury RS. There wasn't a No.2 on that route then, but if I need a No.2 now, I just pop upstairs! :)

I'm in Henleaze Eynsham and sometimes catch the bus from my boyfriend's in Henbury too. It's 30 seconds from his front door which is soooo easy.

More to add on the bus gear-grinding.

I took the bus into work today, primarily because I've had a vomiting bug and didn't want to get too soaked or cycle in. The traffic was awful on the way home and I waited about 15 mins for a bus home. When it came, the door's opened and what hit you first was the smell of bodies. That was before I noticed how crammed it was with about 20 people standing uo. I walked the 3 miles home. So much for making my commute easier when I'd been unwell.

Yep Hohum.

Rucksacks - I get in with my shopping, prop it up against the stairs or wall and it falls over on its front. With eggs in - 2 now smashed. Thanks to whoever did the research on rucksacks as it happens with all 3 of mine. Yes you'd think I'd learn but I need to put it somewhere when I get in while I lock the door and take my shoes and wet clothes off.

No. He won the contest by pretending to be a buffoon. And all the idiots bought it hook, line and sinker...

Walking 20-30 lengths of a zigzag tape queuing system when I'm the only person in the queue, or getting shouted at for diving under at the head of tje non-queue.
