Buses
We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.

Drool - is it me?
I **know** I'm not the only one who's done this - Or am I?
When on the bus, when you fall asleep - do you wake up with some drool coming out of your mouth? I have done - Not that I've been on the bus for a long time **and** fallen asleep, but at college, I did. A lot.
Not as much as Speccy McSpec. Well, that wasn't his name, but we never knew it - he went to Grantham Grammar school but caught the daily bus with us college lot (different lot this time) - the bus that took over an hour to do a 20 minute journey as it stopped - at - every - single - bloody - village - in - lincolnshire...
But as he wasn't one of us he got some abuse (sorry Speccy) so he sat at the front with the driver for safety.
Except it was one of those side on seats and he used to always fall asleep - and the drool he produced was biblical.
The best being one of - either waking up with a mahoosive snort fountaining out a collection of drool into the air and back down onto his face as if hit by a water balloon - or being asleep leaning forward (not sure how he never fell off his seat) and a string of drool growing from an inch to a foot to several feet until it hit the floor. Lovely.
We were nice though - we didn't disturb him - but I think the raucous laughing woke him on occasion...

Grantham Grammar?
Yeah, that King's School. And don't you forget it!
Not quite the same since Derek Lee left though...

I hope I didn't snore
I think I woke up before the drooling. I woke up at 9pm, worked a 3rd shift job that was quite physical, took the bus to the University, classes and whatnot, back home around 2pm and bed, up at 5pm to make dinner for my spouse, bed again at 7pm. Repeat.
I can't do that anymore. I can't believe that I did it then, but maybe that's why my beloved gave me the heave-ho eventually. I do thank the bus drivers for not charging me when I had stayed asleep past my stop and stayed on the bus for the return trip.
