Hate people that think it is funny to put bricks through windows of buses. happened to us when travelling years ago, and the driver said it costs five hundred pounds PER window on a stagecoach bus to fix. we had to wait on another bus because of fears the glass would blow in on all passengers.

Nearly had shit scared out of me this morning at a North London train station when an automated announcement came over the tannoy "Inspector Sachs, please contact the control room" followed by a siren. Nothing seemed to happen but to my knowledge this is some sort of code for an emergency, either a fire or a bomb, but designed to let staff know without startling the public.

EDIT: Found out what it was, thanks to Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Sands

Inspector Sands is a code phrase used by public transport authorities in the United Kingdom, including Network Rail and London Underground, to alert staff and other agencies, such as the police, to an emergency or potential emergency such as a fire or bomb scare without alerting the public and creating panic.

Very possible I misheard it...

I've had similar, but with Gas Bottles being placed on railway lines. Driver's window got smashed putting the loco out of commission due to safety reasons, and it happened that as the train hit the gas bottle, another train was going by on the next line in the opposite direction and the bottle ricocheted between the two, also breaking passenger windows. The kind of idiots that do this shit need to be tied to railway tracks and run over with 70 tonnes of HST...

Its the exact same with our buses. Any window at all gets broken we park up immediately once we know about it (or as soon as practical/safe) and the bus is then out of service.

Viv I've got no idea how much it is to repace the window on one of ours but I imagine it would probably be a similar cost.

Yep, probs is a similar cost. anyhow, last night i was very tired after my running, so decided to head to bed early. we have new neighbours along our area, who decided to make spectacular amounts of noise. so, i got out of bed, opened the door, and decided i would make a speech. lol. anyhow, another neighbour (built like a tank), decided he would make a MUCH bigger speech, to the point where this gang literally ran for their lives. unfortunately, couple of them decided to return during the nite, and make more noise. so now today, i feel like shit. so, if it starts back up again tonight, i am gonna ring the police.

jez moxey, steve morgan and mick mccarthy are nothing but twats. moxey is great at lining his own pockets, morgan is too interested in building a new stand for nobody to sit in, and mccarthy has the management skills of steve mcclarren. all three of them have shown apsolutley no ambition over the transfer window. and seem happy to see wolves drop to the championship.

on the grid.

Pretty weird dream, my only weird dream lately was that I was at the parents in the garden but I was my real age in the dream and the garden was how it looked when I was a child. Then the police showed up in cars and vans, swarmed the street and driveway then bundled somebody in the back of a van. This all got to my dad who was a combination of in tears and furious about something and I had to reason with the police to let me take him into the house and calm him down.

Absolutely no idea what it was about, sometimes my dreams can be affected by whats on the radio when I'm dozing but there was nothing at all that could have influenced my dream. I should point out that their street is largely very quiet (apart from when I show up in the car ;)) and dad is a very quiet man who has no police issues whatsoever lol

I know what you mean about things on the radio .. Tv affecting dreams. the clarkson dream took place in the area i really want to move to, on the day i was about to move somewhere else..... odd. anyhow, cousin and i have turned down the new house. i have NEVER seen a garden like it. we would need professional help to sort it all out. i hated the place before even setting foot inside. so, i have insisted we take the entire TOWN off our list of ideas. we will see what happens next. o, and i got a remarkable reading from a psychic last night. cousin still can't believe some of my ideas, but i have managed to convince her intuition is the best way forward.

Yeh, this is true. But there is work and there's WORK. That garden would have needed a professional landscape gardener, and that would have blooming cost us !! :hahaha:

The house itself was relatively low maintenance, although I didn't like the bathroom because it had no window. I am wondering if that is even legal.

I do that from my studio kitchen/living room windows... with a nice set of infra-red night-vision binoculars... now just to figure out how to use a camera to get pics from that, especially of the nice brunette that lives on 4th floor of a building nearby whose window I can see right down into when she strips and watches TV and stuff naked... *

I couldn't handle just looking at a wall. I like to open windows, and spy on neighbours.

I dunno about you Viv, but when I go into the bathroom its because I usually need to do some toilet or washing based task, I don't go in there just to look out the window ;)

The only real benefits to having the bathroom window in my flat is that it lets some light in the downstairs part as its a bit dark even during the day and we can open the window to get some of the steam out when a shower has happened.

Viv, you should be locked away in a broom cupboard... although I guess with an open window, you can multitask listening in with a crap... dealing with and dishing dirt at same time...

I know its unlikely to get back to him through this but I'm still a bit wary about writing it. However, my flatmate's lack of urgency and paying attention to things is getting to me a bit.

I was curious as to why we hadn't heard anything about the council tax a few weeks in and he said that the letting agency would get in touch with the council telling them about us living here so I took his word as he's rented placed before. Only when I looked through the T&Cs did I discover that it was up to us to tell them, not the agency.

We get letters confirming that the standing orders for the rent took effect as of February, I read the letter properly and it said we also had to go and pay for January either card or cash. I mentioned the letter to him and he said that wasn't what was said so I told him to check again, then he realised he hadn't read it properly and started moaning about why they hadn't done it sooner or told us that this would be happening.

Tax bill for the first quarter comes through, says on it that it has to be paid on or by February 8th but he wanted to phone up and see if we could get some sort of payment plan so we paid every month rather than in 1 go every 3 months. He phone them, and when I said today that I'd just pay it online and get the money off him he said that the date on it is just an indication and that we have a month or so to pay it after that.

Both of us are in full time work so money isn't a problem for us as the rent and tax are fairly cheap so I don't understand why hes so carefree about it all. Stuff has to be paid for so when the bill arrives it should just be dealt with at the time.

What he meant was that the agency would tell the council we were now in that flat, as thats what happened with him in the past. It just annoyed me that he assumed that it would be the same this time round even though it was a different place and a different agency.

    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.
