  There was a time when I dropped something on the floor I would have no hesitation
  to bend down and pick it up..... these days if I drop something on the floor I tend to stand and look at it for a few minutes... then decide whether I really need it anymore...its
  called old age.....

 Back in the mid sixties on a formal state visit to Belgium Our dear Queen Elizabeth II was being carried in a Horse drawn  Landau through the streets of Brussels accompanied by the then Belgian King...  after several minutes one of the horses let out an horrendous fart which was clearly audible to everyone. The Belgian King quickly apologized to her Maj....
  the Queen immediately replied .." Its no problem!... I thought it was the Horse!



 

   During our 'lock down' and when my Mrs was visiting 'Aunt Irma'
  and  away for a day or two... I took the opportunity to bang My neighbors Mrs ! On our new bed too!.. Now the Memory Foam mattress is trying to blackmail me!!

   I took my granddaughter to Dudley zoo last year.. we saw a baguette in a cage...
   apparently it was bread in captivity.....  

In the BC list (2/5) I think that should be E089 (and not E086). I'm sure I've seen E086 in service around Coventry, unless it has returned to BC.

I saw EO86 in Coventry last time I went over there    I have not seen 089

In my late teens I would have several chat up lines....all of which were fairly
common... like "did you hurt yourself when you fell from heaven???? etc
On one date with an attractive blonde she seemed to be more interested in my 
all singin..all dancin multi function watch with buttons everywhere.. I took it off and held it towards her.."My watch can tell me everything about you! I said.. "Its telling me you are not wearing any Knickers!." Your watch is wrong she replied...I AM wearing Knickers! " Strange.. I said...Its usually very accur...AH!..I said after a closer look."my watch is an Hour FAST...

  Thanks for the details  much appreciated

Near A38(M) Park Circus. Its also an Accessible Transport Group (Ring & Ride) depot as marked on Google Maps.

is this  Aston Birmingham or Derby???  Fu'd .if I can find it on google Is it in Aston science park or the old ring and ride depot off Victoria road? There doesn't seem to be an obvious access other than Thomas street ....  Is it near Miller st?

  So all of these Bus Tracker devices are accurate then???  It looks like the 21 service
 (Coventry) has been re numbered 997?... Working with EO 58 on Saturday with another
 'Ghost bus' .(.6812) right behind it ..no doubt Driven by an  InsSPECTRE 
 I expect as a 'ghost' bus maybe the driver was running out of whoooos  ?

 I was not suggesting it didn't run... but not an ONWARD service from central Bham..obviously   an X4 arrived at 19 29pm with a Tamworth 110 Immediately behind it  ...

Thanks Tony..   incidentally Were you asking  for Photo pics of LTS buses in one of your posts recently? I seem to remember you were hoping to create a full set?  I cant find it... 

[on going]

 Inspectors??  Yeah.. where are they when you need one?? I would like to 
 offer my thanks(NOT) to PB.. It may have escaped their notice that the X city
 Rail line twixt Lich TV and BNS is out of action for 4 days due to ongoing
 Engineering work...? Had it not occurred to management that passengers
 would likely patronize their X3  X4  X5 and X14 services??? This appears to have been
 the case ..Unfortunately The return svcs booked between 18.49 pm and 19.29 pm 
 on Saturday evening   (8th April) failed to materialize with no on going services available to the 30+ passengers left in the cold in central Bham??  No doubt due to lack
 of Management forethought and/or driver O/T refusal and/or Relief??/ Maybe if they Don't need the O/t they dont need a pay rise?  Can we expect better at whitsun I wonder??
