Judging by his typing ability I'd say he was a typical public transport user TBH.

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

typical public transport user
What is a typical public transport user and what does being a transport user of any sort have in relation to the ability to type?

A public transport ride round here or on long coach/bus journeys seems to always include the seat shuffling paedo lookalike, people with bad colds, people with bad smells, smackheads, weirdos and the criminally insane. But that's enough about the people round here!

Jacksun: Please do NOT use 'text type', (i.e 'u' instead of 'you' '2' instead of 'too' etc as it's pointless, stupid, annoying and unacceptable in anyone other than a ten year old girl and even then it's wrong. Bad spelling is one thing, no-one's perfect, but if people make an effort or use a spell checker then fair play to them.

Given Doc's profession, I'd say he's ideally placed to determine who is a "typical" public transport user. :wink:

Whilst the prejudice shouldn't be there, unfortunately there's a definite correlation.
this might be a signature

Rather alot of that, and:

Even more of that.

Maybe everyone is just lovely in Glasgow, but down here in Brizzle and stretching out into the burbs the percentage of illiterate morons who use the bus is unbelievable. I know this, I get to spend 9 hours a day driving them around, somewhat secure in the knowledge that at least they aren't driving a car oblivious to any road sign that they may or may not notice.

And no one can tell me I'm wrong, I've been doing it for 11 years.

You're wrong.


I know, I wasn't going to but then I thought hey fuck it! I'll tell Doc he's wrong and see what happens, and I have to be honest....I'm on a bit of a high now! I'm gonna go mug some old lady to top myself up!! No one said being mental was easy!

Now, which bus gets me into Fareham town centre? :idea:

well in the worse of that snow i drove accross the north yorkshire moors through drifts up and down hills in my 2wd diesel bx.

4x4 might sound cool but its more hastle than its worth.

a good pair of mud and snow tyres and some driving skills is all you need.

Not on the 4x4 bx you cant, its the transfer box which is weak so the diesel engine with a different torque curve to the petrols, well i'm sure you get the picture.....
